I've had it w/ GU2O clumping

Is it just me, or does GU2O really clump up at the bottom ALL the time? Enough.

I don’t do fake sweeteners or colors, so Cytomax is out. Hammer Products make great sense, but I get sick of Perpeteum after awhile, and it really only tastes OK on cool days. I don’t like Gatorade (come on, sugar?).

Hit me with your favorites here.

I’ve never had a problem with clumping. Fill the bottle w/ about an inch of water. Add the powder and shake. Fill the rest of the bottle and shake again. No problem.

Hello,

Carbo Pro in your H2O bottkes and thermolyte for your “salts”. You can’t get any more pure. Check it our here http://www.sportquestdirect.com/. Carbo Pro also makes great inexpensive gel.

I fill the bottle with water… then, add the mix… AND SHAKE IT LIKE A POLAROID PICTURE!!!

No more clumps…

Two suggestions:

1 - add a 1/8 bottle of water and your Gu2o, microwave it enough to bring up the temp to somewhat hot. Mix this and then add the rest of your water.

2 - Use Hammer Nutrition’s HEED. This is really their equivalent to Gu2o. I think that tangerine flavor is probably the better choice.

I second Hammer H.E.E.D. I started using Hammer products exclusively last year and haven’t looked back.

I like Ultima w/ extra maltodextrin for added calories. Avoid lemon flavor. Orange, raspberry & passion fruit are good though.
