CytoSport Cytomax Sports Performance Mix, Cool Citrus, 4.5 Pound

I have been trying sports drinks for a while for my longer bike rides. They typically tasted too sweet and to some extent seemed to bother my stomach on rides of over 25 miles. Having other sports drinks I also seemed to have my legs "bonk" towards the latter part of my ride. This Cytomax sport drink is slightly sour which for me is ideal especially if you are having a few sweet things like gels or blocks on your ride.So far I have had much better legs using Cytomax than other sport drinks. And you definitely can't beat the price. One complaint others have shared in reviews is that it doesn't dissolve well in water. I have found this to be accurate to some extent. It doesn't dissolve well when I first shake it up. But, it is completely dissolved after 10 to 15 minutes. Hope my review helps others about this product.

I've used Cytomax for the past several years now and have found it to be the best hydration product I've used. Everyone is different but this product has by far worked the best for me at keeping myself going on those long or difficult rides, hikes, cross country ski and snowshoe outings. This also helps to prevent cramping and bonking on those hot humid days when your tend to lose more fluids. I've only had the cool citrus flavor as that is the flavor I've used for years with other hydration products as well, and the flavor though a bit sweet for me is more than acceptable. While cycling up to about 40 miles in moderate temps, I now run with two bottles of Cytomax mixed slightly less than the strength called for in instructions as I think otherwise it's a little too sweet and thick tasting to my likes, but still works well for me. For other activities where I carry only one bottle I again use a little less than the recommended amount of powder per X ounces of water. This product like others like it, require a bit more time to mix than the Gatorade powder, but it's more than worth the few extra seconds it takes to get it to properly mix.Update 4/30/15 - My last few orders have been in the Pomegranate Berry flavor and at least for now I like this even more than my trusty old cool citrus flavor. Works just as well as the other flavor as this is obviously only an incidental benefit of product.

We love this brand of electrolyte powder. We began buying it locally in 2009 for our Krav Maga and CrossFit workouts. Me especially because I have problems with severe muscle cramping, but get an upset stomach drinking water alone during exercise. I am Hypoglycemic and this worked perfect for me.After a few years, our supplement store quit carrying it, so we turned to Amazon. It is by far one of the most reasonably priced mixes we tried. And, it doesn’t have funky after taste from strange sweeteners.I have tried some expensive products when we were out of this, but always come back to this.We use it for our vacations as well, like Disney trips where we can walk 25k steps a day and tend to forget to drink enough water during the hotter days.Worth a try if you need products like this.

I was sceptical at first about using this in my workouts, but after seeing the scientific data backing up products like this I just had to use it. I can honestly say that I am no longer “bonking” or feeling extremely sore the next day after a run/bike ride. The taste is actually good if mixed well with water. I would suggest mixing with water that's not cold then adding ice or having the mixed contents in the fridge prepped before a workout. The only issue I have with this is that it aerate quite a lot; meaning that it gives out a bit of dust when opening the container or when pouring it into a container. I also suggest getting a small funnel to better help out when you pour the powder into plastic water bottles.
