I’ve used Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes during training and racing for well over a decade with great results – no cramping, and an ability to perform relatively well in the hot, humid conditions of a Virginia summer. My only [slight] criticism with the product would be having to consume 2 to 4 capsules per hour (dependent on weather conditions) in order to meet my personal electrolyte replenishment level – not a big deal to some, but when you’re taking part in Ultra distance races, that’s a lot of capsules to manage!
Now for the good news – Hammer recently launched a great new product, Endurolytes Extreme, which will make electrolyte replenishment a lot easier on long training runs and in future Ultra races. Each Endurolytes Extreme capsule contains three times the amount of sodium (300mg) and potassium (75mg) as the original Endurolytes formula, yet still maintains the same balanced 4:1 ratio.
Reasons to choose Endurolytes Extreme:
- During unusually hot-weather events
- If you’re not acclimated to the weather conditions
- If you consume a high-sodium diet
- If you have an extremely high sweat rates
- During early season training
Usage:
- Take 1 capsule per hour during prolonged exercise. Hot weather conditions may warrant higher dosages.
Endurolytes Extreme are sold in 60 capsule and 120 capsule containers and are now available on the Hammer Nutrition website. Full product details can be found here.
