Accelerade

Pacific Health Labs makes a Energy Drink called Accelerade. It is a Before, During, and Post work out drink. It is for speeding up recovery and giving you energy to burn.

I only use it Before and after work outs. The taste when watered down can be kinda bad. The first few times I used it I did not really feel a big difference. My old roommate swears by it and says he feels great after using it. It became part of my daily regiment after the first week, I think I was watering it down too much and thats why it wasn't effective in the beginning. I does a lot that it promises, and I would recommend it to mainly runners. If your a lifter then It still is great but your usually not as tired as a marathon runner anyway. I helps repair muscles which is good but I prefer Kre alkalyn.

The things it promises:
You will have 29% more endurance.
You will rehydrate 40% better.
Your muscles will recover 40% faster.
You will lower your perceived exertion.

I did not really experience a endurance boost of any kind. I did feel rehydrated. I was not really thirsty for my whole work out whenever I took it. The big thing it helped with was the recovery. I felt much better the day after my work out. I still got tired so it didn't really help me with exertion.

Price: I would not get the 6pack thats a waste of money. Just mix it yourself. The 30 scoop is $34.99 and the 60scoop is $59.99. Its not great but it did seem to help. Try it out and see if it works for you.

Overall score: -------------- 85 --------------

Flavors:
Orange - This one is my favorite out of all of the ones i've used.
Lemonade - This was pretty good concentrated, but horrible if you water it down too much.
Fruit punch - My least favorite. its a very typical taste and its not really enjoyable. You may like it but I personally didn't.
Lemon Lime - Have Not tried
Mountain Berry - Have Not tried
