Sports reviews of Hammer Endurolyte Capsules 120 Per Bottle Plain
Customer Review: Excellent to replenish electrolytes
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I have been using these tablets for the past two years to replenish my electrolytes when I run. I prefer using these tablets rather than drinking Gatorade or something comparable because these tablets have no calories, and are much simpler to take. The recommended dose is 1-3 tablets per hour depending on how hot and humid it is. These tablets have a neutral taste and are easy to swallow.
Even in really hot and humid weather when I ran on vacation in Cancun, Mexico and drank 1 1/2 quarts of water during my daily 8 mile runs, taking three tablets before I ran worked like a charm to stop me from cramping--as happened to other guests who tried running in that weather without taking anything (at the end of the run I used another Hammer product called Recoverite to further replenish my electrolytes and also provide protein for my muscles) . During my 10 mile runs in hot and humid weather at home, I usually take two tablets to start, and another two at the 5 mile mark. It is very easy to carry a couple of extra tablets in one of my running pouches.
Hammer makes lots of quality products that I use, and these tablets are one of my favorites. These are NOT the same as the inexpensive salt tablets sold in the drugstore, which are absolutely worthless for running.
I run about 1200 miles a year, and by using these tablets have never suffered from the cramping that occurs when you deplete your electrolytes. Hammer has an extensive website where you can read about these tablets. They work just like Hammer says.
Bottom line: For serious running, especially in hot and humid weather, these are terrific. They also work well for bicycle riding, which I also do.
Customer Review: Best electrolyte replacement
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
In my opinion, endurolytes are better than the other electrolyte replacement products I have tried for these reasons:
1) They separate electrolyte replacement from energy (food). Let's say you are going to run two marathons. Same distance, of course, but at one the weather will be 55 degrees Fahrenheit and moderate humidity. At the other it is going to get up to 78 degrees Fahrenheit with high humidity. The amount of calories you will need for the two events will likely be quite similar. However, the amount of electrolytes you will lose is going to be very different. If you use a sports drink, then your electrolytes will come with a certain amount of calories. You might get inadequate electrolytes and/or too many calories (yes, you most definitely can take in too many) at the hot event and too much electrolytes and/or too few calories at the cooler one. With endurolytes, you take in the amount you need, and you get your calories from another source.
2) They have ALL the electrolytes, not just sodium, like many competitive products.
I personally don't tend to need a lot of electrolytes, so I take lighter doses than most folks, but in hot weather I always carry these while training and adventure racing, and have always been pleased with the results. As with any sports nutrition product, you will need to try this out in training to see what amount works best for you in various conditions.
Customer Review: Helped with my cramps
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I ordered these capsules online and they arrived 4 days later. I was a little concerned about their quality because the package was sitting in a hot mailbox for several hours. I guess it didn't really matter because I tried them on a eleven mile run today and I did not have any cramps in my left calf muscle at all. I usually get cramps in the same leg at around mile 9 and this time I didn't. During previous runs, I was taking some water with Elete drops at a 4:1 ratio but this alone did not help prevent cramps. I guess it was the combination of the water with Elete and the Hammer Gel Hammer Endurolytes that helped. I wouldn't recommend this combination to everybody because it may be a little bit too much electrolyes, but it did work for me. I took 1 Endurolytes capsule 30 minutes after starting the run, then 1 capsule every hour.Customer Review: amazing!

i was training in baltimore winter weather (i.e., 30 degree temps) for a marathon in honolulu - which, if you think about it is probably the silliest thing to do...when the weather in honolulu is about 70-80 degrees and relatively humid. these pills DEFINITELY helped me retain water and kept me from dehydration during the marathon (i didn't use it during my training runs...again, another silly thing to do). the only thing i recommend to others is that they should definitely play around with the number of pills to take during endurance activities to find the optimal dosage for them. as a side note, my dad took a LOT of them during the marathon as well, and while it kept him hydrated, he swore he was secreting salt from his skin and could taste it in his mouth for days after the marathon.Customer Review: Works GREAT!!! Perfect for triathletes or powerlifters!!!

This is THE BEST electrolyte product on the market.
I'm a certified personal trainer, and I've trained for triathlons as well as powerlifting events -- and I've cramped up many times from training. I haven't cramped since I started taking these. And when I don't take this and get a cramp, 2-3 of these get rid of my cramps pretty quickly.
Better than sports drinks like Gatorade since it doesn't contain sugars or artificial sweeteners or other garbage for your body.
Balanced levels of electrolytes, so easier than buying individual components of potassium, sodium, etc. and making your own batch.
It's not cheap, but it works, so it's worth it.
