Energy Drinks - Cytomax, Revenge, GU



I searched the archives and it came up with 180 replies to my request for "GU".  I took a stab at reading a few posts on the subject, as I remember there being divided feelings about the product.

I can no longer find Revenge here in South Africa - the first thing I pack for a ride - and I'm starting to run out.  So, I have to start looking around for something similar or better.  Has anybody heard of or tried Cytomax, and if so, what did you think of it?

GU is also now fairly freely available and I'm thinking about which one of the two I should try - a GU sachet with two water bottles in my pack or Cytomax in one and water in the other.

A quote from a leaflet - obviously for me to buy a product and not drink only water :
"Why not drink only water?
Water intoxication or hyponatraemia (low sodium plasma concentration) can occur  when an athlete consumes water alone, especially in conditions of intense heat and humidity.  This condition can be avoided by ingesting a fluid-replacement drink that contains a combination of carbohydrates and electrolytes."
Whatcha all think about this?  The product they're advertising in the leaflet is called "Replenish" (fluid replacement drink) - heard of it?

BTW, in my search I came across "Ridefood Survey Results" dated Dec 1998 - very funny but very useful as well.  Go read it!

Cheers
Kristene
