    Kelsey McGill's review

    This carb/electrolyte drink mix is clutch for me. I used to really like Maurten but this has totally replaced my drink preference: not nearly as sweet and it doesn't have that slippery texture nor does it clump up or sit at the bottom of the bottles!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Joe Corcione, Ultrarunning Athlete + Coach

    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.
