Strengths: It works and the flavor isn't overwhelming. Encourages more drinking of fluids. Lower sodium content than most sports drinks and higher potassium than most sports drinksWeaknesses: Not my favorite of the energy drinksBottom Line: Saw this at a grocery outlet for only $8 for a 44oz container of mix. It was expired, but I figured "what the hell". Turns out, it works quite well. Not my favorite flavor (not sure if it being expired affects this or not) but certainly palatable. Can't complain, gives me a little extra boot and contains a good amount of potassium to prevent cramping.

Strengths: Clean, good tatsting with great balance between qui9ck and long burning energy source. Single best product I ever found, if you are not looking for added stimulents/caffeine or protein.Weaknesses: None, other than no longer available.Bottom Line: Anyone know why discontinued? While I like Accelerade for long rides, due to 4:1 Protein, Hydra-Fuel was still the best to counteract heavy sweating/fluid loss for intense hot weather events. Best similar alternative?
Favorite Trail: Devils Lake Resort Ski Tails

Strengths: I think Twin Lab Hydra Fuel is an excellent product that tastes reasonable and is not "heavy" like other competing products.Weaknesses: Unfortunately, Twin Lab stopped making Hydra Fuel at least two years ago.Bottom Line: Great product. I wish they would make it again.

Strengths: Taste, Energy Release, CostWeaknesses: Hard to Find, Not made anymore?Bottom Line: I've tried all the flavors of HydraFuel and like them all. The labeling on the container mentions that all of the Carbos are Sugar but I don't think that's correct because it has Maltodextrin. Correct me if I'm wrong but that is a slow burning carbo which is not technically a sugar. In any event, this drink provides both fast and slow buring carbos which keeps me fueled for long races and rides. The drink does not have a super high salt content but I've found that to be fine by me. It tastes good and the cost is very reasonable considering how many uses you can get out of one 44 oz container.

Strengths: It realy works for me, and doesn't fill me up.Bottom Line: I first used Hydra Fuel when playing tennis, and I noticed the difference compared to just driking water. I really helps my stamina. Since it is powder I can adjust the mixture to my liking. I like the punch flavor. I learned about it when someone asked what Pete Sampras was drinkin during the game, published by Tennis Magazine. It's too bad I heard it is being discontinued. I hope not. But it's now hard to find.

Strengths:
tasty, cheap, effective, multiple flavorsWeaknesses:
not as ubiquitous as GatoradeBottom Line: This stuff rocks. When I was rowing in college, I would drink a ton of this stuff. It made a huge difference, during practice and during races. Nothing I've tried gives as much bang for the buck, nor tastes as good an hour into a super-sweaty practice. I see no reason to switch to anything else, although the Perform powder has some great stuff in it...
