Let me at it!!!
Long Walk at REI on 10/11/2008
I added this to my water bladder and to off on a 8 mile 3000+ foot hike and did not come back all droopy and wilted.
The flavor I chose for the trip was Tri-berry. The taste was pleasant. It was also easy to add to my bladder. Just drop in the tablets and shake it up. By the time your ready for water on the trail, the nuun is all stirred up and ready to go for you.
helps avoid cramping

I run marathons and although I'm usually pretty good about rehydrating/refueling after my long runs (12-20 milers), I would still be crampy or sore the day after.
I started using NUUN after my long runs and completely 86'd the cramping and muscle soreness that normally was associated with the day-after distance hangovers.
Seriously... it made the post-run cramping disappear! A must-have for my marathon training.
Good Stuff!

i didn't like the carbonated water like taste, but otherwise, i liked this product. it's excellent for long enudrance work outs. i feel less dizzy and lightheaded with this added to my water compared to just plain water.
Works great

I bought these to use for a summit hike. I used them for a few days before the hike to be sure I had my electrolytes at the proper level. I then used the tablets in my CamelBak along with electrolyte water for the summit hike. This is the first time I've done a strenous hike without muscle cramps and a headache.
I wish these were unflavored as I prefer the taste of plain water. However, the flavor is mild and not at all sweet.
Feel Good Stuff

This weekend I officiated 9 soccer matches in the 90 deg heat. 4 Saturday, 5 Sunday. I drink a 500ml bottle between games and at half time. That's all I had time to do. About every other one I added a tablet of Orange Ginger or Lemon-lime. It was great! Taste great and I found I wasn't getting the rundown feeling from dehydration. Tired sure, but not the usual ache and fatigue. I plan on using this all the time now. The Tubes are extra handy and I can add these tablets to whatever water they are providing.
Adds a great taste

I really like to put one of these in a 32 oz water bottle with one or two of those crystal light packets. It gives it a good tang. Berry is the best.
Great Taste, Great Value...

This product was introduced to me during STP. I was completing the one day ride (which was successful) and they were handing the product out. It think it was the berry flavor. Anyhow, I dropped it in my 70oz Camelbak and then rode out. It tasted great! When I ran out of water and had to replenish it I groaned at the fact that the taste of mine was far less pleasurable even though it had a higher concentration of electrolytes. I will be using a double dose of this product instead for the future.
GREAT FOR BACKPACKING

This product is great on the trail. Definitely better than the powders. It is very easy to use and you can definitely feel the difference in the way your body feels during a long day of backpacking when you add this to your water.
Better Than Gatorade

What more can I say "Better Than Gatorade".
Cheaper by volume and without all that all the extras. I like the purple one... I think its Berry
Quick and Easy

These little things are so easy to use. No measuring, no shaking, nothingâ¦just add them to a bottle. I was really curious about these little tubes on the shelf and had to give them a try, I am so glad I did. I use them almost daily to help me drink more water and to rehydrate after a hard workout. They are not really sweet which is a huge plus in my book. Just like the ad says, they are easy to throw in a backpack or even a pocket and you donât have to worry about powder spilling or making a mess. If you are really bored you can drop it in your water and watch it fizz upâ¦yeah I know Iâm easily amused. If you are looking for a way to get some electrolytes into your water, you need to try these. It is a good break from the sweet drinks you have to shake up.
