Pacifichealth Labs Accelerade Drink Mix - 30 Serving

I've been using Accelerade on my longer bike rides for a couple of years and have been very happy. There's a noticeable difference in energy levels between riding with and without and I suspect the protein has something to do with my prolonged energy levels. Five to six servings of Accelerade are ideal for a typical sub six hour century. As much as I praise the product, there are shortcomings.

1) Taste is personal. Try the various flavors. I can only drink Orange.

2) The mix leaves a slimy residue in my bike bottles and is harder to dissolve fully as compared to other drinks. This is a small price to pay for the better performance.

I have tried and reviewed a few of these 4:1 carb to protein drinks. This one is far ahead of the rest. It is easy to drink even after hours and hours of running in the sun. Personally I do not like the Orange but I do really like the Lemonade. In my case I drink it after every training run, 2 hours before a big event, and of course after an event.

I initially bought this for use while running and cycling and found it to be upsetting during my long runs (maybe the protein?). However, now I drink 8 oz or so before any workout as a kick start and have brought a 28 oz bottle as a recovery drink to my last 4 marathons (out of convenience) and it works awesome! I like the orange and lemonade flavors w/ caffeine!

This stuff is excellent! I measure that by how far I can go. When I take just water, I run out of steam and can only go about 30-40 miles. With Accelerade, I can double that. In my book, that's significant. An expert friend I know tells me it's the 4-1 Ratio of Carbs to Protein. Whatever it is, it works!

Started using this last week and felt the difference on my long bike rides immediately. I've cut down on the amount of gatorades I drank in half during the same time, distance and exertion on my rides. So far so good. I like mixing it with half water and gatorade on a 24 oz water bottle.

This powder is very fine. The amount advertised on the 2lb cans can vary from what is actually measured. I have purchased this twice and each time didn't have the 30 scoops advertised.
Technically this product is great for running and sustaining during the run as well as post run.

have only tried the lemonade but it was pretty good. im not one for drinks like this when im training though. no substitute for water in my opinion - it just goes down way easier. if you like these types of drinks than this one is a good one.
