Okay, but you can dilute it a bit.

I use it as an electrolyte replacement in the mornings when I'm working outside. The package directions are too strong for my purposes for a pre-workout drink, so I mix at a rate of 1 scoop per 1.5 liters of water and drink an additional 2+ liters of plain water. To be honest I prefer the taste when it's diluted. This makes a very noticeable difference in my energy levels and muscle fatigue throughout the day (from more experience than I care to believe, hyponatremia and hypokalemia are terrible). If it's a particularly heavy day, I can mix in decaffeinated XTEND later in the day. Make sure you read the directions and warnings on the container, and remember that this stuff has almost 3 times more potassium and almost 9 times more sodium per serving than Gatorade. As a side note, if you're as sensitive to caffeine as I am, you might want to go for the decaffeinated version. They're not kidding about extended-release caffeine. I have to get mine ready by 11am or I won't be up until midnight. Overall this is a good product for what I use it for. It's a little pricey for me, but it's not obnoxiously sweet like many electrolyte replacements, and most importantly, it works.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
