Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been using the Ultima sports drinks for about 3 years now. I commute 30km on my bikedaily in the heat, swim, and work with a trainer in the gym several times a week. I don't like hi-carb sports drinks and they make me groggy and queasy. I have had good results with the ultima. I use it in my bike bottles daily. I drink it before and after workouts. I sweat like a pig. In the height of summer I leave puddles on the ground when i stop at a red light. My own personal experience is that it helps with the fatigue and cramping. Look at the label and you can see that it is a good balance of electrolytes without the empty carbs.
That's the good news. The bad news? Taste. No way around it. The taste is awful. Raspberry is not bad. Orange is ok. The other flavors are simply wretched.
As noted by other reviewers it takes some effort to dissolve the powder. Don't expect instant gratification. If you just dump it into cold water you will end up with clumps of it. It is easier to dissolve it in some warm water with vigorous shaking. Then add ice / cold water to dilute it to the proper concentration. Even then it takes a lot of shaking/stirring to get most of it dissolved.
It would get 5 stars if it weren't for the taste and the difficulty dissolving the powder.
