Strengths: Excellent for leg muscle development and muscle fatigue reduction.Weaknesses: Just cost, and it's not bad.Bottom Line: These little capsules really help build muscle in the legs. I have used it for over three years with some short periods without. It definitely helps build leg strength and reduces leg fatigue. My leg cramps also stopped when I first started taking it, and never came back. Nothing else helped, including electrolytes.
If your legs give-out before your lungs, this is the help.
This is one of only two products that really seemed to help me (other than recovery drinks for short-term).
If you race, you should take these pills daily to build-up the legs.

Bottom Line: I've been using Race Caps Supreme as long as it's been out. I used the Race Caps prior to it. I'm not able to get all scientific about it, but I do know that I can tell a difference in recovery as well as my overall health. I've had periods of time where I did not take them and all I know is that I can tell a difference in getting sick such as the common cold-I don't get colds often, and I seems to be able to bounce back a little quicker from heavy duty training.

Strengths: Improves your overall performance, energy level, and recovery time.Bottom Line: You cannot go wrong with this product. If you have doubts pick up the phone and place your order, all of E-Caps/Hammer Nutrition products are 100% satisfaction guaranteed. The client service is excellent! I've been an E-Caps "addict" for over a year now and have been transformed into a competitive athlete. I highly recommend the E-Caps Daily Essentials (Race Caps Supreme, Premium Insurance Caps and the Mito-R Caps).
Favorite Trail: Any trail with technical steep climbs.

Strengths: easy & convenient, no downsidesWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: Years into my training for endurance running & triathlon, I realized I was missing something. Race Caps simply allow me to work at a higher efficiency, increasing my endurance. The combination of this product with Perpetum give me the feeling/ability of "going forever." There are not energy spikes or lows--simply a consistent stream of energy, keeping my mind clear for any event I am doing.

Strengths: Race Caps Supreme has combined the best of both worlds - exceptional cardiovascular benefits with unreal endurance benefits. Plus, instead of taking numerous capsules and fiddling with them during a race, all the power is packed into one or two caps!Weaknesses: None!Bottom Line: For racing and quality training, I don't do it without Race Caps Supreme. A nutrional routine incorporating Race Caps has been the key to helping me reach personal goals in terms of racing and training. With the use of this product I have been able to reach deeper and work harder and recover quicker.
Favorite Trail: all of them!

Strengths: Since over 3 years I've used Race Caps Supreme (or the previous e-caps products (Race Caps and Enduro Caps). Ever since I started using them for training and racing I noticed 2 main things: 1) much better recovery from long training events, 2) much better performance especially during the later parts of long training days. If you are training/racing for 2+ hours (up to 10+ hrs) Race Caps Supreme as a supplement helps you to get more out of your workouts, and to be sure you are ready for more training the next day...Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: 'Must Have' supplement if you train/race a lot and participate in long endurance events.
Duration Product Used: More than 3 years

Similar Products Used: Some of the ingredients separately. However, it does not work as well as taking the full formula you get in Race Caps Supreme, and it ends up being more expensive.

Strengths: A great product for both training and racing. Competing in primarily long distance triathlons this product combined with others such as SE( sustained energy) and endurolytes has enabled me to remain strong in these events. Would recommend to competitive athletes at all distances.Weaknesses: noneBottom Line: Many quality products that also provide a great result include tissue rejuvenator, Heed amd hammergel. Racing and training for Ironman events is not physically possible without proper nutrition and supplementation.

Strengths: felt stronger and could sustain activity for longer. I do long distance, multi-hour events and would take it every hour. Never had GI issues, ie. burping up supplementsBottom Line: I found using Race Caps for training, non-training days and during a race combined with the Mito-R caps and endurolytes, sustained energy and race day boost (on race days) kept me energized, not fatigued, no muscle cramping for a long periods of time. I participate in events from 3-40 hours. Minimal lactate build-up and overall saw increases in performance, decreased times. I'd suggest its use for the competative athlete
