Cytomax vs. Gatorade

I noticed that Cytomax is now available in the 32 oz. bottles, premixed (just like Gatorade and Powerade). I typically fill my Camelbak with Gatorade and a little water to dilute the contents, but this last weekend I opted for the Cytomax. Maybe it was all in my head, but I did feel better during the ride and after the ride after using Cytomax in my Camelbak. I did notice I wasnt as fatigued as I typically am after riding this same spot when I have Gatorade in my pack. Does Cytomax really contain more electrolytes and what not to make a noticeable difference over Gatorade?

Has anyone else noticed a difference in how their bodies respond to the two different types of drinks?

Cytomax has helped me with long hot rides. I would say that it's got more going on than Gatorade. It does, however, tear up my stomach at full strength.

I like to drink a Hansen's Energy before a big day. It seems to help with climbing performance.

I've used Ultra Fuel (made by Twinlabs, found at GNC) thats' worked very well for me. and i've also used Gatorade Endurance formula with good results also.

a buddy of mine uses Cytomax and he says he does feel a major difference when drinks it

A new drink I've been using in my arsenal is "Propel fitness water." It's made by Gatorade. It has 1/5 the calories and more vitamins and stuff... but less sodium. It's good if you don't constantly want to soak your teeth in sugar and/or you want to save some calories.

For all the skinny read the book The Performance Zone. Very insightful.

Ultra Fuel is potent stuff...100g carbohydrates per bottle!

I have tried both gatorade and cytomax and find that I do feel a lil better and stronger with cytomax (diluted). Also, what works really well Is a gu pack and drink it with some liquid 15 min before a major climb or trip. I used to get a pttful, tightness in my stomach and was because I ate a cliff bar before a ride and didn't finish digesting it. I asked a fitness professer and she said all the blood leaves your stomach therfore a person cannot effecientally digest food. Eat a light breakfest drink lots of liquid and you'll be good to go. Also, I find that a multi-vitamin in the morning before the ride really helps your body and give you an extra boost. However, I find that most endurance is psychological will power. Our body can take more of a beating than our minds.
