Accelerade Advanced Sports Drink Mix, 30 Servings

Sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade are common fare for the casual weekend warrior, but if you want to get serious about endurance training you need something more than fancy tasting "sugar water." That's where products like Accelerade come in. I've used a number of other drinks and have found Acceleradde's combination of protein and carbohydrates does better at keeping me going on long endurance events. This is especially true if you are doing multiple workouts each week that are two or more hours in length. The protein component helps me to keep muscle mass even when I'm burning 3,000 calories per workout. I rate Accelerade five stars because it has worked very well for me and I've not experienced any problems digesting it while exercising. That being said, Accelerade does have some quirks. I find that it is more prone to sedimentation than some of the other drink mixes I use. This can be cured with a few quick shakes of your bottle before drinking so it's not a big deal. Accelerade also leaves a film in your bottle. It's is readily rinsed out with hot water, but other drinks do not do leave as much of a film. Overall the sedimentation and film issues are small troubles compared to how well Accelerade works for me.
