Cole Crosby's review
After going with a Sweat Test for Badwater 135, I found out that I was a not super salty sweater. At 780 MG per liter of fluid. Hyperlyte is high carb, easy on the stomach and hits that sweet spot in sports nutrition. I race using one scoop and knowing I have everything I need plus my whole foods can power me from 50k up through 350 miles.

100g carbs, 1000mg sodium.
Recommended in Long Run
This stuff is super easy to get down. Generally doesn't really taste like much, which is nice at times. Packed with carbs, packed with fuel, gets the job done.

Nothing new on race day, except this. It'll be my first time.

Carbs make me go zoom and you can too!! I mix 2-4 scoops up in one bottle depending on the day I’m doing. Hyperlyte fueled sub-13h for 100 miles in 90 degree heat at Javelina Jundred. Sauce.

Absolute ROCKET FUEL. I throw this in my bottles when I know I have a big day ahead. This simplified so much of my fueling strategy because of the high carb and high sodium formula

Keep it simple - Sodium, Carbs, and miles of dirt. Meant to mix right in your bottle, HYPERLYTE provides the right balance of sodium and carbs to keep you moving all day. Cut the excess and go. Whether you’re deep in the backcountry or high on a ridgeline, HYPERLYTE allows you to keep moving when everything else is telling you to stop.

My favorite liquid carbs and hydration, 100grams carbs 1000grams of sodium is great for those hard efforts

1 serving has 1000mg of sodium and 100g of carbs. I usually use half a normal serving - so 500mg sodium and 50g of carbs. Mild sweet taste, no stomach distress and has kept me fueled up for all my races

I'm going to be drinking A LOT of fluids, consuming A LOT of carbs, and taking A LOT of sodium during Western States. And with Hyperlyte's 100g of carbs and 1000mg of sodium per serving mix, it gives me everything I need in one mix. Plus, the best part about this mix is that it does not taste bad if the bottle gets warm, which is something most drink mixes suffer from. And I've never had stomach issues taking this mix either. It'll be a big part of my nutrition strategy.

I always have a bottle with one scoop going at camp to sip on and take it with me on course as well. Easy and great way to get calories and electrolytes on top of solid foods
