i have been using this for a while now and i used the energy drink on 3 peaks and i reckoned it definitely helped keep the cramps at bay.

cheers I waited a bit to see if it was a scam!! but I've ordered some now
sampled a few more things
Chocolate coated energy bar. tastes good and not hard to chew like a go bar
recovery drink rapide chocolate flavour tastes great and may be the next purchase. Good mix of carb and 16grams of protein for after runs.
Which flavour drink do you use delmonte? the lemon flavour energy drink tastes rank to me really salty and bitter. Usually use lemon and lime SIS go which I think tastes good. Did what it was supposed to though energy wise. Taste is a personal choice I suppose. I'll try the fruit punch one and see what thats like
I got this 'freebie' through the post today and used it on a bike ride. I used the blackcurrant flavoured Gel, followed by the Fruitpunch Energy + drink. I have no idea if it was those that made me feel sick but I ended up feeling pretty good during the following threshold sesh. Nonetheless, not only did I throw up a little bit but I immediately developed a headache . It's a bit weird.
Anybody else have any effects?
I like the chocolate recovery drink though - very drinkable and it seems to work well. Still got a headache though.

I attempted to drink the lemon energy drink before my race last Saturday. It was really difficult to drink....so so salty...especially for someone who doesn't add salt to anything! I thought I must have mixed it up wrong! Managed to drink half of it....did have a good run though!

I have been using Zip Vit gels and energy drinks for about 18 mths now and yes the drinks do initially taste salty, but i found that you soon don`t notice it but what i have noticed is a complete lack of cramps, so as far as i am concerned they work.
the Gels are the best i have tasted as well and these also have the desired effect
The older I get the Faster I was
Got mione late last week. Not tried the drinks or gels yet, but the strawberry and chocolate bar is the tastiest enery bar I've tried yet. The portein recovery bars are tasty too - not sure about helping recovery though...
The protein bar especially, and the energy bar were delicious....possibly the tastiest protein bar ever!
