I keep well informed on sports nutrition and I usually do my research before picking a sports supplement, but I bought some of this on impulse when I needed some good fuel for a 12 hour mountain bike race.
BIG mistake, it gave me TERRIBLE gas (just ask my teammates and fellow racers within a 20 yard radius of me after each lap). And unfortunately this stuff was all I brought to hydrate with which put me in a very tough spot.
Upon further inspection
this "premium" and expensive hydration product uses complete junk ingredients. First ingredient is table sugar (seriously???) even more important (to my digestive system anyway) was the low quality protein concentrate used as part of its hyped 4to1 carb to protein ratio.
Any premium product such as this, especially a product that is being digested during athletic activity should use protein isolate. much easier and faster to digest.
complete junk, stay far far away from this stuff
