Cramping is your body’s final warning signal that you’re “on empty” electrolyte wise. However, your performance is deteriorating and you are slowing down long before you feel the slightest twinge of a cramp. To keep your body’s muscular, digestive, nervous, and cardiac systems “firing on all cylinders” you need a consistent supply of all electrolytic minerals, not just sodium and potassium. Plus, in many instances, you require greater volumes of electrolytes than any sports drink or gel can provide. That is why Endurolytes fulfills such a crucial component of your fueling by supplying your body with a perfectly balanced, full-spectrum, rapidly assimilated electrolyte source, allowing you to meet your widely variable electrolyte needs with tremendous precision, hour after hour, no matter what the weather throws at you.
Powder form alters taste of drink mix/water (slightly salty).
Bike Setup:
Giant Anthem 0 w/XTR.
Bottom Line:
I was turned on to Hammer Nutrition (E-Caps) products a few years ago and have been a fan ever since. Endurolytes have worked great for me on hot rides and endurance races and pretty much any ride over 3 hours. I rarely had cramping issues prior to using Endurolytes but would sometimes get involuntary muscle twitching after long rides and these have helped stop that. Friends with cramping issues have said that Endurolytes have cleared that up. I've also noticed that they help reduce nausea during intense efforts. I prefer the capsuls vs. powder since the powder alters the taste of whatever drink mix I'm using (usually Hammer HEED, 5 chilis also!), but you can also break the capsuls apart and try just the powder if you want. I prefer a slightly sweeter taste than salty, personal preference. I weigh 165 lbs and take 2 per hour for rides over 3 hours. Check out the Hammer Nutrition website for recommended dosages.
