Endurox tablets
So not only does So Cal have some of the worst traffic to cycle through and we also have some of the hottest driest weather in the region. Well we can’t do much about the traffic but the weather we are able to cope with thanks to nutritional supplements and training our body’s natural ability to adapt. Personally I am not a huge fan of supplements of any kind. I think that eating right and finding the proper fuel for your body you will experience the greatest gains. That doesn’t mean I am not open to trying new things. A friend of mine sent me some samples of Endurox Excel Electrolyte replenisher. What does that long fancy name mean you may ask……Salts. Anyone who has ever broke a sweat in their life knows sweat is full of salts that come pouring out when our body needs to be cooled down. Enough about the boring science….here is the test results
90 degree Saturday, yep. Fast weekend club ride, no doubt. Mix of grinding hills and fast open road sprints, for sure. I have ridden this route, with this group, in this sort of heat several times. I decided this was a good opportunity to put the Endurox to the test. I started taking the supplements early Friday, 4 in total on Friday. Saturday morning prior to the ride I popped a couple more. I did notice during the ride that I seemed to be less thirsty and wasn’t reaching down for my bottles as quick at the top of the climbs. Now the effects weren’t 100% material, but I will say that post ride, exhausted and depleted overall I felt less fatigued. I popped a couple more after the ride just to help rebuild my electrolyte stores a bit quicker. So bottom line this product isn’t going to make you spin like Lance, or climb like Contador but for an athlete looking to ward of dehydration during a race or intense workout this is something you should try.
