    Who it's for
    Endurance runners and racers who are low-salt sweaters or want to source electrolytes separately, and those whose palates fatigue from sweet/salty flavors late in long efforts. Works as a standalone carb source or to supplement gels.
    What people are saying
    Hosts consistently praise the near-neutral, only slightly sweet flavor and how easily it mixes with water. Several use it specifically late in races or long runs when heavier flavors become hard to stomach.
    Worth noting
    Note this is carb-only — electrolyte content is minimal, so high-salt sweaters may need to supplement. Hosts report no GI issues and use it at roughly 30g per bottle alongside other nutrition.

    Caroline Alcorta, Professional Trail Runner

    Did a sweat test last year, apparently I'm not a super salty sweater! But I am a heavy sweater! So I need to be mindful and efficient about my water + nutrition intake with longer races.

    Two scoops of this in a 500 ml soft flask with water is all I need fluid and electrolyte-wise to start a sub-ultra race. Plus it gives you an extra 30g of carbs!

    Great taste. Excellent metrics. Sits well.

    Robyn Lesh, Pro Trail Running Athlete

    I use the carb only drink mix because I am a low salt sweater and prefer to get my salt elsewhere. Precision drink mix has a very light taste and isn't too sweet. A really nice simple product. I mix at 30g/bottle to supplement my gels.

    slight sweet taste, but otherwise very easy to drink and mixes great with water

    Lisa Williams, Run/Ultra Endurance Nutrition Coach

    I really like this late in a race or long run because it is high carb and has no flavor. After awhile the palate get tired of all the sweet and salty stuff and this really helps with that.
