Gleukos all-natural sports drink

Anyone else tried this? We ran out of Cytomax and picked up a few envelopes. It's actually higher in potassium than sodium! Bubba in particular does better with higher potassium intake.

Very simple ingredient list and a very light taste. Bubba felt great during his ride yesterday.

Is it my browser, or does their website suck? None of the links work...

So, what's it taste like? Or is it tasteless? Now that I'm "training" I get to start trying new stuff.

interesting. I will have to suggest that to our team cramper. though now that I got him over 5 passes, he's done with death ride. or rather his wife's done with him training for DR....

The taste is very, very light and refreshing. Bubba used the orange yesterday. It was only a very light orange color, so no artificial colors. The entire ride was windy and portions were hot enough that he could have been cramping.

I used the Punch flavor today. I didn't get to taste it unadorned though. The Punch is absolutely clear, no color, and because I like to know which bottle has the goo in it, he added a dash of Crystal Lite lemonade. Nothing like using your accidentally using your energy drink to wash a bug of of your eye. Even with the two mixed together, the flavor was pretty light. So far, I'm a convert. Calories are the same as Cytomax - 140 per 16 ounces.

I found this article interesting. Just supports why straight table salt doesn't really do much for most people.

Snap, the links all worked for me! It says that Joe's (as in G.I. Joe's) is a dealer.

Snap, just in case the links still don't work for you the site says you can find it at Safeway, Fred Meyer, Whole Foods, Walgreens, Albertsons, Safeways, IGA, 7-11, AM-PM, Chevrons, etc.

Apparently, the liquid forms is in a soft pouch which would be really cool for times when I want to slip an extra bladder of water in my back pocket.

I've been doing some googling of reviews and a lot of folks are saying they like it far better than Gatorade for the lack of sugary sweetness. Since it's being sold through all those chains it should be easy to find during many rides.

I'm living in bizzaro world, now everything works.

I'm going to add this to my taste testing. My drug of choice has been Cliff Shot Electrolyte Cran-Raspberry

I really, really like Gleukos. Its light and works well for me on long rides, so I went out to stock up for our double century this weekend and cannot find it anywhere. I have either called or went to all the local retailers listed on their site and they all say they used to carry it, but don't anymore. So I emailed the company in desperation and have heard nothing back from them. Just wondering if they are even still in business. Has anyone bought this lately and if so, where. Also looking for alternative suggestions since I don't think I am going to find it in time.
