5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product for the Heat, October 12, 2008

I used these during a 24-hour adventure race in Georgia in the heat of August. I used these capsules with plain water every hour and went through over 22 hours of solid effort without experiencing any cramping, muscle soreness, nausea or any other problems associated with dehydration or electrolyte depletion.
I don't use them all the time, but I would not want to do a hot weather event or long training session without them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for most, average for me, March 17, 2010

This review is from: Hammer Endurolyte Capsules 120 Per Bottle Plain (Misc.)

Most everyone in my distance mountain bike riding group loves these pills. I have tried these with moderate results - I think I sweat way too much. It has a nice mixture of content that helps prevent cramping/bonking, but everyone is different. For moderate distance rides (~2 hours, medium-high energy) I can absolutely tell when I am using them vs. not using them. They're also easy on the stomach, even on an empty stomach.

I sweat a lot, with lots of salt too. I have found that these pills can't really keep up with me if I'm doing a 4+ hour race (where I am drinking/sweating my way through a lot of water). In these situations, I prefer Succeed "S-Caps", which have a MUCH higher sodium concentration, and do much of the same thing otherwise.

Endurolytes: 40mg sodium/pill
S-Caps: 341mg sodium/pill

Hammer has the mentality that we all over-use salt and that they don't need to supplement us in that department when we work out. Obviously, everyone is different; both in how much they sweat, how much salt they secrete during sweat, and how sensitive your muscles are to sodium balance.

So with that in mind, stop and think about how much you sweat. Chances are these pills will be just fine you, like most people. But, if you often look like you were hit with a water hose when you work hard, take a look at the S-Caps.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for endurance athletes, August 12, 2008

I use these when training and racing ultramarathons, marathons, and endurance events. I find them immensely helpful--I rarely bonk, and try to remember to take these every hour or so. If you cramp, they'll help. Also, when it's quite hot or humid, even if I'm only doing an easy six miles, I'll still take one, as I feel like it helps balance me out.
