Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

It has been a long time since I've been using sports drinks. I really disliked the gatorade powders, etc. REI had these on sale, so I wanted to give it a try.

I was really surprised to notice the difference and the sustained energy. It was like a steady burn instead of the sugar high and low that other sports drinks had given me....

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

I have tried several sports drinks and none has helped me as much as Cytomax. I am a runner, biker, and climber. If I have an early race I drink some Cytomax and eat a banana. BAM! Good to go! I also drink it during competition, but I dilute the mixture to about 50%. I find this gives me the energy I need as well as the proper amount of water.

I ran out about two weeks ago and I find I have to work a lot harder to get the same energy benefit from other drinks, gels, or bars...and none of those taste as good. This does not taste like a typical protein or recovery drink. My kids love to drink whatever I have left after a climb!

Buy with confidence!

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

I was skeptical having worked on medical nutrition clinical studies for several years, but have found substantially reduced muscle ache after weight lifting, cross fit training, intense spinning, long cycling rides. No GI distress for me.

Taste is "good enough" and self mix is both easy and reduces recycle/landfill waste. Try the single serves to find your flavor before committing to 82 servings. I carry one bottle of drink and one bottle plain water.

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

I have tried numerous sports nutrition drinks during long training runs and races and generally end up with acid reflux with the more "commercially popular" brand drinks. Cytomax, however is very easy on the stomach, tastes great and contains only "good" carbs...no high fructose corn syrup! I have been using this now for three years in marathon and ultra training and racing with absolute confidence.

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

Cycled across NY State. At first I was surprised by how the power returned to my legs after a few swallows of CitoMax, later I relied on it. It seems to help recovery at the end of a day's ride.

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

My husband is a cyclist and drinks this during and after his rides and swears by it. I started running about a year ago and was bothered by headaches and fatigue after a long run (anything over 45 minutes for me!) My husband suggested that I drink Cytomax after my run. I figured I had nothing to lose but a headache so I tried it - what a difference!!! I have not had a post-run headache since I started drinking Cytomax and my fatigue is also greatly improved. I used to think that all the hype about sports beverages was way overblown - but now I'm a true convert to the benefits of Cytomax. I won't run without it.

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

I've tried the gator stuff, the acceler-stuff and Cytomax is much better. It doesn't upset my stomach like gator can and it dissolves much better than the acceler junk (which tends to have gross undissolved lumps of powder).

Cytomax might take a little shaking to dissolve completely, but at least it's not lumpy and it still tastes good. I use this when riding my road bike. It satisfies my thirst much better than plain water and makes me feel more energetic.

I prefer the orange or citrus flavors to the fruit punch.

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

I drink 32oz of this (made slightly weaker than the label directs) to play ice hockey, and it is fantastic. The difference in my energy level, especially in the 3rd period of the game when fatigue starts to set in, is dramatic. If I let myself run out and have to play a game without Cytomax, I regret it. It's not too sweet like the cheap brands (Gatorade), and you can drink large quantities, ice cold, without making yourself sick (like plain water).

Comments about CytoSport Cytomax Drink Mix - 82 Serving:

My brother and I were looking at another drink mix at REI when a customer said 'you don't want that, you want THIS' so we tried Cytomax.

10 years later it is the only recovery drink/energy drink mix I use when backpacking. It really does make a difference in how I feel after a long day of hiking.
