Endurance Cycling Fuel for Professional Cyclists - Ride Harder, Longer with More Stamina - Incredible Energy Boost - Mango Powder Drink Mix

First time trying the powder. Loved the cans of RIZE. I'm a nurse, and one can would augment my focus and energy without the jittery side effects of caffeine, but sometimes a whole can would be too much, and it would be wasted. I can mix my drink from the powder in my water bottle, and not waste any product. I tried this tonight, I wasn't satisfied. With the taste, color, and did not have the same effect as the RIZE cans.

I have used Rize Energy drink, that was first created by Dr. Hendricks, for the last several years and absolutely love it! It has helped me in my races and cycling performance significantly. This past year, I was on every single cyclocross podium (except one where I placed 5th in a super competitive field) in all the local cyclocross races I had contested in Michigan and Chicago. And regionally/nationally, I was in the top 10-15 consistently. I was also on the podium at cyclocross masters nationals this past January. While yes, I have a solid cycling coach (who also consumes and supports Rize), I've also consistently utilized Rize Energy to the max to support all of my races. I've come to rely on it for a good energy boost at the start of a race and/or training, helping eliminate/alleviate cramping should I experience cramps in a race and/or an extra boost of energy during the race (as I'll carry it in a bottle during a longer race). For my shorter/punchy races (cyclocross and crit racing), I have sustained energy throughout my races. The stuff is solid. So when I learned Dr. Hendricks had created a sports drink mix that I can easily mix in my bottles to carry with me, you better believe I was excited to give it a try! The first time I used Rize Performance was in a training ride towards the end of two weeks of training/riding in the mountains of NC this past March. While drinking it, I didn't feel the need to eat as it gave me sustained energy and it helped my tired legs feel better and carry me over longer climbs. Looking forward to continuing to work Rize Performance into my training and races and utilizing Rize Recover to support my recovery!

Moisture has entered the container prior to opening. Unfortunately the now solid powder wouldnt dissolve properly and gives off a funky scent.I'm going to return without consuming because I don't want to risk getting sick.They need to insert a moisture wicking device into the powder like every other powder supplement does. Im not sure if this is the fault of the company or the storage facility but I will likely not give this product another try on my own dime, there are too many reliable competitors.

So I was a bit skeptical (aren't we all), when there are claims stating how well an endurance/energy drink adds to your overall performance, but I can honestly say this works. I was looking for something that would help increase my overall performance and endurance when out road cycling, and had tried a few other drink-style "enhancers" and wasn't overly impressed, and felt/saw zero gains. But not this time... From the first use, I saw dramatic increases in my overall cycling performance and ability to sustain higher energy/wattage output when out riding - especially during the HOT summer months. I will say it takes a bit of getting used to the sugary-flavor (I use strawberry) and potential "gritty-ness" of the final product, but once over that, it works amazing. I swear by this product, and have yet to let my friends onto the secret, as its just more fun to see their faces when I annihilate them on hill climbs, or continually demoralize them when I still have the energy to push harder even after those long hrs in the saddle.

Best ingredients I've seen in the endurance drink mix realm. I've been jumping around trying new sports drink for years. I'm super psyched to find a such a complete drink mix as this one crushes everything else I've tried. The sustained energy I've felt is not just a feeling. You can see it on my power meter over a 3-4 hour ride. I'm sold and I've already been recommending to all my buddies.

Don’t buy. When I opened the container, the mix was as hard as a rock. I tried to break the mix apart, but was afraid I might break my knife. I tried a screwdriver, but that didn’t work. Finally, I was able to break down the mix with a hammer and a screwdriver.

Muy bueno

I *seem* to ride better when I use this as my hydration. It helps replace carbs and whatever else it does. Hard to quantify though. Mainly useful for longer rides over 1.5 hrs.
