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.

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.

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.

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.
