Hi Ladies, I am the boss over at INFINIT. Saw this pop up as a Google alert and thought I would throw in my 2c.
One, ladies are for what ever reason more sensitive to salt tastes then the men (maybe all the bacon we ate as kids, I dunno). I would recomend starting with your electrolyte levels in the 300-325 range. That will make it less salty, but should still have enough to eliminate salt pills. If you have issues with cramping bump it up tot he 350-375 range.
Flavor wise, to the right of middle is a perfect place to start. Our flavors are way less than most products to start with. We find that sweet and stong flavors are fine in transition, but way too much after you have been working our for a couple of hours. Orange is the most popular followed closely by LL, then FP.
Protein, a little goes a long way. level 2-3 (that is 2-3 grams) is enough to keep you from getting hungry. To me that is the biggest benefit, it should eliminate your need to eat solid food. Eating is a pain and I feel like crud for about a half hour after. Liquids are easier to digest no question.
Many of our clients have two formulas. One with protein and higher calories for training and also for the bike portion of a long race (>1/2 IM). A second with NO protein, 10-15% less calories and you can even throw in some caffeine. This works great for the run on your tri's and also any sprint racing or running races.
Obviously one of the cool things is that you can adjust calories to fit where you are in your training, and/or to manage your calories. It will taste the same and contain electrolyte, but just be lo-cal.
All of our stuff has no artificial flavors or colors. It's an all natural product.
Hope that helps. If you have any questions I will try an pop back or my e-mail address is attached to my INFINIT 1 account here. Just e-mail me. Glad to do it.
Hope you all are haveing a great spring.
Michael
