| This isn’t like any other sports supplement out there- and not just because you don’t have to take it every day. You only have to take it an hour before you’re going to do your sport, so a bottle will last you awhile. If you look at SportLegs’ ingredients, you might think, “Those are just vitamins and minerals. Stuff you take to stay healthy, not to make a difference in how you feel.” But it makes a difference you can defintely feel. You get to really enjoy skiing and cycling again. You can go noticeably harder, longer than you expect before you run into the “burn.” No stimulants or stuff to make you feel amped. It just feels like you’re in better shape. Or a decade younger. But you don’t pay for your fun with extra soreness the next day like you’d think. It’s like you get to dodge the lactic acid bullet that gets everybody else. And that, like the [...]ads used to say, is Priceless. | |

A must for any athlete | |

| These were featured in Bicycling Magazine this month as one of the top nutrition items every cyclist should have. I would go one step further and say that any athlete - cyclist, runner or triathlete - should have a bottle of these at all time. They make a huge difference in training and/or longer casual rides. Err on the side of a lower dosage to begin with - I did not need the recommended 1 per 50 pounds (1 per 100 pounds for me) nor did I need them every hour during activity (every 1.5-2 hours for me). These can be taken in conjunction with other nutrition products - Endurolytes, gels or drinks don't seem to hinder the affect of these...just test your combination first. As other reviewers have noted, the only side affect for these can be diarrhea. | |

Works as advertised with one caveat | |

| I use Sportlegs before a long day of skiing, hiking, or cycling. I have yet to try using it afterward. Things that are great: Sportslegs works. The quad burn I'd normally experience during a double black bump run is greatly reduced. Also, for what you get, the price is quite reasonable. Things that aren't so great: Beware of the recommended dosage if you take multivitamins or have a sensitive digestive system. I suggest taking one capsule for every 100 lbs of body weight instead of every 50 lbs before your activity. From there, you can build up to a higher amount if necessary. (The unfortunate result for over doing it is diarrhea.) | |

| I have a friend who volunteered at a mtb race last summer, and they passed out sportslegs at the halfway point at his sag stop. he was inspired ot order some for us when guys came up to him afterwards and wanted to know what he gave them because it made a huge difference. I have since used these on a 15 mile run and a couple of 100k bike rides and they really helped. | |

| 84-year-old recreational bicyclist here. Was experiencing severe leg and foot cramping on 30+ mile rides in 90 to 100-degree weather. Had to abort after 25 miles on a couple of occasions. Someone offered me Sportlegs, used it skeptically, it worked. Now take 4 capsules before ride, 2 during ride, can complete 30 miles and more with no cramping during or following the ride. It works the way they claim it does! | |

As essential as water | |

| Makes a huge difference on long hard rides. Legs feel fresher and your quads don't give out during those 200 mile rides. Even for hour long rides you can feel the difference -unless you noodle around. | |
