The last year or so Hubby has starting getting muscles cramps and charlie horses. He drinks tons of water and Cytomax when riding, has a balanced diet, etc., but he still gets them on long rides. He is sensitive to heat and sweats buckets so I think we just can't keep up with the loss of electrolytes. I'm looking for more intensive replacement methods without the calories of food as he has specific foods he likes while riding. I'm only now getting him to use Cytomax in all his bottles. He's a big boy (just makes the Clydesdale class) so it was a major victory to convince him he needed more Cytomax than I.

V, you mentioned eCaps or something? What is it and how does Thom use it?

Anyone else have suggestions? How did you decide what wasn't hype? Sorry, but we've all seen the documentaries about health food stores and gyms where the salespersons hadn't a clue what they were talking about.
