Subject: Electrolyte supplements best value?

Folks,

I just ran out of Hammer Enduralyte capsules and an thinking of going to something a little less expensive. The Hammer caps are 19. 95 for 120 capsules. Succeed's version is 10.50 for 100 capsules. Are there cheaper alternatives or better prices?

You do not need them and should just save your money.  Run a search on electrolyte here in tri talk and you will see why ......

Guys,

Thanks for your opininions. I use electrolyte supplements and I like them. My question is directed at the people who use electrolyte supplements as to what the best value is. I am not asking if I need them or not.

Very well, it's your money to blow, spend it how you want.

If you check out any vitamin shop you will be able to find similar products for a lot cheaper.  Back when I was naive enough to think I needed them, I would buy generic ones at my local natural market, often on close out, for around $3 a bottle or so.

Or I could just sell you the bottle of Endurolytes I just found tucked back in one of the cabinets that I've only used a handful out of .........

Make sure you look at what you are getting too though.  Suceed is not only less expensive per capsule, but it is 6x sodium load vs the hammer stuff.  So not only do you pay more per capsule, but you need to take more of them vs what is in Suceed.  I use 1 per hour when its over 65 and go to 1 per half hour when its upper 70s and beyond.  This is also only for events over 2 hours.
