So those that have read this blog will notice there are certain things about my that I really like. I like my gadgets, I like my toys, I like new stuff. I'm also a little bit of a geek so when there are claims where there is science proven stuff and what not I'm kinda all over it.
High5 is a company that is based out of the UK that has been doing sports nutrition for quite a while. The interesting thing is that they they're a pretty heavily science backed and they actually listen to stuff that we ask them to do, like making gels less sweet, more liquidy, tasting like real food.
So today's post is about a certain electrolyte drink tablet from them that's touted to have very little calories, 1.4/ 100ml. Not only do you not ingest a whole lot of calories, but you also burn 41% more fat while using this compared to regular carbohydrate sport drink. This was independently verified by the University of Glasgow. It's supposed to help with cramping by preventing both dehydration and electrolyte balance. It contains sodium, magnesium, pottasium and calcium. There's also a so called "extreme" version of this that gives you some caffeine along with you drink. There's 65 mg in these tablets (which is about the same as a mild cup of coffee)
Now usually I wouldn't get excited about really simple stuff like this but when it showed up in the mail the other day, I was actually pretty excited to go and give these a spin. So may it will taste better than gatorade and it won't add any calories. Best of all if this stuff follows the typical high5 formula of inexpensive, good tasting and works well? Then I'll probably love these as much as my gels. I will post a review of these when i've tried them out and let you know how the work.
~Cheers
