Genr8 / Vitargo Sports Drink

[bicicleta]

Sorry... it's been a while since I've been in here so hopefully this won't come off like an ad.

I race bikes for a local team and we got a new sponsor this year in GENR8 / Vitargo. At first I was kinda bummed because they product clearly states that it contains Gluten, from Barley. When I mentioned this to the guy who runs the show over there he assured me that the levels of Gluten used are so low that he would be surprised if I had a reaction. He told me to use it sparingly at first and see if I had a reaction. And each time I used it to add a little bit more till I reached the required two scoops per bottle. It took me a week to work up to the two scoops and I never had a reaction... and I'm pretty sensitive. To be sure... I continued to use this stuff for last two months on almost all my rides. Not one reaction.

I have been using Hammer Nutrition Sustained Energy for the last two years and while I like the product and have found it to be good for really long rides... it tastes absolutely awful. I had to add their flavored gel to it and in doing so made the drink more of a shake, which is not very thirst quenching on a hot day.

If you've been looking for a really good endurance sports drink for either running or cycling, that tastes good and does the job... I think you should try this product. It's even sugar free.

I haven't looked online for sample packs but I would assume they're available.

I know how hard it is to find good sports drinks for endurance athletes and having found one I wanted to share.

Hope everyone is well!
