These capsules work great. I am regularly riding in very hot temps with no shade in the desert. After a while, I just don't want to drink any more electrolytes or through drinking, I am unable to keep up with my body's demand. That's when I take one or two of these. Electrolyte related cramps are a thing of the past for me now!
These are great backups in case you run out of mix for your water. I have a few in a small ziploc packed in my saddle bag.
The Endurolyte product helps with cramp prevention or even stopping cramps once they have started.
I take them during rides of 2 hours or longer , as I don't like drinking anything but plain water during rides. Great product, I have used other electrolytes but keep coming back to these as I know they work for me.
I sweat a lot regardless of season. Muscle cramps were a routine occurrence during longer rides and, worse, charley-horses while I was sleeping. The complete electrolytes provided here keep the cramps away. Also, I will crack a few pellets open and make my own electrolyte gels using the Hammer Flask.
On hot, humid summer days, I take an Endurolyte capsule before a ride, after each hour of riding, and when I finish my ride. So far, cramping has been eliminated for me. However, results may vary with each individual.
These capsules were very helpful for my long rides and definitely helped prevent cramping. Would buy again.
I use them for my long rides. It also helps when your leg/quad starts to cramp on your hard rides.
I borrowed Endurolyte capsules from a friend to finish a ride when my legs were cramping so severely I had previously stopped pedaling. I now use them on all rides over 4 hours to prevent leg cramps.
I take 2-3 of these after hard/climbing rides
and I don't cramp. I know people take them in different amounts and times, but this works perfectly for me.
Excellent product
Excellent product
I use endurolytes in the summer when I am working outside and sweating a lot. They keep me from getting a headache from the sun and feeling sick. I don't exercise for fun, so don't need them in the winter, but they are a lifesaver in the summer.
I started using Endurolytes after a bad leg cramping episode on a metric ride a few years ago. I've since started using them for all rides over 35 miles and after intense trainer & indoor rowing workouts. Electrolyte maintenance is important for endurance efforts.
2 capsules every hour along with hydration. I usually have one water bottle of cytomax and one with water.
I rely on Hammer Endurolytes to help me cope with Sonoran Desert heat. I work diligently at hydration to avoid cramps, but my insurance is this product. I use it to replace electrolytes on rides longer than two hours when the temperature is high. We have many triple-digit temperature days, I leave early to ride, but the bike computer still shows the temperature when I am riding goes above 100 degrees regularly.
The two pills every hour worked perfect. If you weigh more might need 3-4 per hour. Best to try out on your training ride first.
I often get cramps, even when I drink enough. It's easy to just take two tablets before I head out and two more when I come back. This has reduced my cramping significantly.
I take this product before I go to bed. It keeps me from having cramps in my legs. Works wonderfully.
I began taking these daily almost a year ago and no longer have issues with leg cramps on long rides. I also take one capsule before a long ride especially on hat days.
Consistent service on an excellent natural electrolyte supplement
