Great Product, Worth Much More $
By Ting Peterson
I've been using Accelerade for 8 months and wouldn't consider tackling a strenuous workout without taking it. Previous to the Accelerade, I was taking a liquid no-load creatine muscle recovery supplement which helped my performance significantly. I stuck with the creatine formula religiously until a "take-no-prisoners", obsessed tennis player friend introduced me to Accelerade. From the first time I took it, my intensity and stamina increased by about 20%, while diminishing DOMS to a negligible level. So now I can work out harder, longer & even more often. I do find, though, that it makes little or no difference with less difficult workouts. The taste? It's not great, just okay, but if I want to sip and savor, I'll get a glass of fine wine.It does contain whey protein concentrate (a milk product); I'm severely lactose intolerant, and 1.5 servings of Accelerade do not bother me at all.

Excellent Recovery Drink
By D. Holcomb
I've used this product while hydrating before runs and in greater quantity, for post-workout recovery. The first few times, it hardly made a difference, but after consistent use, I noticed a major change in endurance. The product uses a patented 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio which is great because I've experienced kidney pain from overwhelming them with protein before. This drink only has 5 grams of protein per serving.The taste is great. With only 120 Calories, its not real thick and tastes just like flavored water. The one con of it is when I use it for long runs, the orange food-coloring (?) accumulates on my tongue.

Good science, pick your flavor carefully
By Joel Schopp
I'll say that I feel like I have more endurance when I am drinking this stuff vs Gatorade. I also haven't gotten muscle soreness the next couple days after a hard workout like I used to sometimes. So I'll be buying Accelerade again.But whatever you do, try the flavors first. Lemon-lime is very bad tasting. May daughter called it "yucky lemonade" and a friend of mine said it "tastes like the inside of a climbing shoe smells".I've also found it doesn't mix that well. My trick is to fill the water about 2/3 of the way up and add the power to that so it doesn't stick to the sides of the container as much. Then fill the water the rest of the way up and shake it. If you are making it farther in advance use hot water so it dissolves better and throw it in the fridge.
