Great stuff. I generally stick to a cyclic ketogenic diet each winter/spring, but the first week would always be absolutely brutal, no matter how much salt I was eating and water I was drinking. Dumping the "water weight" in this first week usually leaves me with a pounding headache, fatigue, and extremely powerful carb cravings. So after a bit more research, I decided to give these a shot as I just restarted keto, and my neighborhood pharmacy had nothing to offer besides sugar-laden Pedialyte.Keep in mind, anything I mention on this review may be as a result of the combination of these capsules AND re-starting keto. I started taking these twice daily on my third day of keto, for reference. I normally drink about 120 oz of water per day, and don't consume much caffeine, if any.-Within an hour of taking the first dose, I noticed additional saliva production, nothing excessive, but enough to be noteworthy.-The first night, had no symptoms of restless leg syndrome that normally necessitate an extremely hot bath just before bed. Hopefully these continue to keep this annoying problem at bay.-Insane carb cravings and headache are nonexistent, usually very pronounced on days 3, 4, and 5.-My frequent arch cramps have not happened since I started taking these.-Felt less fatigued during training today (squats).-Winter dry skin feels more hydrated, smoother, and less scaly.It's only been two days, and time will tell, but these things have already been worth the $10 for me. As a bonus, I'm a trainer. So it's great to know that I finally have something simple to recommend clients who want to go ketogenic. Now they can sail through that crucial, often horrible first week with relative ease.

These work wonderfully. I take these before I workout, they seem to work better than Gatorade or other sports drinks. These are better than Gatorade if you are trying to cut down as well, as Gatorade is loaded with sugar. Your body does switch over to carbs as a source of energy once your body enters an anaerobic state (the burn), but for low intensity exercises, it will use fat as its go to source. Whether your body even has the time to absorb the carbs in Gatorade during a workout is questionable since your appetite and digestion is suppressed during exercise. Blood is relocated to the areas that are needed the most, and the organs that are needed during the exercises are prioritized. Your body uses what is readily available. It is better to prevent these problems in most cases.I have a tendency to take months off of from the gym due to life reasons, but when I get back in, I usually exhaust myself to the point where I get headaches, nausea, and get close to passing out. Taking one of these before the workout alleviates all those problems. I also take one of these if I feel a headache coming on; 90% of the time, it relieves the headache. Must have for everyone.I would also like the add that there is a similar product on Amazon. I ended up picking this one up since it's half the price, I am not VIT D deficient(that product has Vit D, this has Vit C), and although that product is high is sodium and potassium chloride, I am certain I get those minerals in sufficient amounts in my daily diet....mmm...potato chips...

It's premium quality product with a premium price. If you can afford it, then by all means buy it.

Equally effective as the other twice as expensive brand. As an advanced level road cyclist I highly recommend taking one capsule 15 minutes prior to starting a hard ride and then one every hour thereafter. This is critical for hot temperature rides that have you sweating a lot. On relatively cool days or when you're not hammering then these are likely not needed. Just equate high output sweating with electrolyte loss and use these to maintain your electrolyte level. Equally important is to hydrate frequently during your entire outing. Again, equate fluid intake with your sweating rate.On an hourly basis you should also eat a power (carb) snack such as one Clif Bar, Gu pack or similar. If you cramp at night after a workout then drink 1/2 quart of Pedialyte or CVS equivalent before retiring. No more night cramps!

with Vitamin C, more comprehensive than usual electrolyte, in a convenient pill form. I wouldn't frequent dose on it.
