nuun | optimal hydration

an important cause

i just wanted to take a minute to thank you for your support during the first stage of lisa's 810. i was on her crew and had the opportunity to spend that time with lisa, and also with marybeth. what an experience! they are certainly two of the most powerful women i've ever met. the cause of AIDS orphans is so compelling that it has really started to resonate with people now that they're becoming aware of the scope and the depth of the problem. of course awareness, and action, are what lisa's 810 is all about--and we couldn't have managed it without the generous support of lisa's sponsors, like nuun. lisa has been my coach for over two years now, and based on her recommendation i started using nuun products, and i wouldn't go without them now. i used them in the sahara this spring during the marathon des sables (and took advantage of your discount offer on the nuun website then). the results were just great. in particular, i found the tablets easy to carry and then get into my water bottles. in the past i've used powders that go all over the place and then get very sticky on the outsides of the bottles. yours are wonderful products! so thank you again, and i wish you the best.

nuun travels

while travelling in the boston area last may i purchased two packs of nunn at a bike shop. the shop really spoke highly of the effectiveness and handiness of the product so i thought i’d try them. a month later i competed in the etape du tour cycle race and had great results. throughout the day i drank 6 waterbottles with nunn tablets. no cramps which have often been a problem in the past. i also found drinking to be a pleasure rather than a chore.

sit back, relax, enjoy your flight

i can't have aspartame or any of that fake sugar because it gives me migraines. i discovered this at funky door yoga in san francisco, and have been thrilled with it! as a flight attendant, hydration is a must. i plop one in a water bottle and i am all set.

friends don't let friends...

i love your product, thank you! nuun turns my water into the perfect hydration, making it easy to maintain proper electrolyte balance without the extra sugar and artificial stuff. a fun nuun story: just a few weeks ago while enjoying a pre-race dinner before the pigman half ironman, i popped a nuun in my water, and before i knew it, my tube was empty and all 10 people at the table were watching their water transform into 'perfect Hydration'. now i need to carry two tubes of nuun wherever i go because friends don’t let friends train without nuun!

wish we could post the picture.

hey guys, while climbing isn't comparable to running a marathon or triathalon, as a climber i lose a lot of water just hiking from cliff to cliff and climbing in the 90 plus degree weather of my local crag, the red river gorge ky and all across the united states. luckily you guys have created a perfect and easy way to keep hydrated through out all my treks. you guys have been with me on every climbing trip this year so far, and have been keeping me hydrated through all my hardest sends, so just writing to say thanks, and send you a little picture from 95 feet up on the beautiful sandstone of the rrg.

rose-colored glasses (goggles, maybe?)

nuun has changed my perspective on hydration. now it's not a battle to get water down when my stomach hurts. it's enjoyable...even on those grueling super-century bike rides in the mountains! thank you, nuun!

low carby lovin

my husband and i LOVE this product and have noticed a difference in our ability to handle heat all due to this product. we follow a low carb diet and this product does not change our diet needs and allows us to be able to train and next year race for the first time at couer d'alene ford ironman!

cheap tricks

thank you! nuun is great, i love it. one of the few things i have found that i can drink while running and not upset my stomach or make my mouth dry up! the really fun thing is putting one in a camelback bottle and closing it up. the first time you bite on the valve, you get a nice rush! anyway, great product. i am definitely a devoted fan.

sincerity

thanks. great products. great customer service. much appreciated.

like a certain toothpaste (?)

the lack of sweetener takes a little getting used to (like tom's of maine toothpaste) but i am happy with the product, especially so because it contains no artifical dyes. i am glad that you also have the breakable tabs to fit into bottles. thank you for your healthy product, and i look forward to ordering a 9-pack in the future.

not our usual compliment, but...

yesterday just before a (bicycle) race one of my teammates found she had a handlebar end cap missing. my quick thinking husband took the top off of a nuun tube and plugged the empty space. the cap fit great and may have saved the race for her (the officials could have told her she could not race had the missing bar end been noticed). another reason to always have a tube of nuun!

nuunlove's bigger in texas

my husband and i live in the sweat factory otherwise known as houston, and we are training through the summer for some bike races, half marathons and half ironmans through the fall. neither of us can tolerate sugary sports drinks, and we went searching for alternatives. we tried a non-nuun knock-off, and it was oookkkaaayyy, but then we came upon nuun, and the heavens parted and angels sang! We now order it off your website since we always are out to buy more at once than any of the local bike shops even have on display! all the flavors are great. we play russian roulette, blinding dropping flavors in water bottles so that we are surprised when we take the first sip. seriously, it isn't sticky, it isn't too sweet, it tastes good and refreshing, we are cramp free, we drink MORE which is better for us. the containers are light and easy to carry. we wish you gave them away, but since you don't, at least it isn't as expensive as all those nasty pre-made overly sugared sports drinks. last week you went to a 71 bike race with us, next week the hotter than hell hundred, and you'll be heading to the oakbrook half marathon outside chicago and the longhorn half ironman in austin soon. we have your bumper stickers on our cars, and we bought some of your water bottles. we can't wait to convert the world to nuun, a more effective and healthier alternative to the -ades!

runing and rock climbing

i love the stuff...crucial on all of my long runs now that its summer in southern california. i live a pretty insanely busy life and its perfect...really easy and it works. so thanks for making it! and just a note: rock climbers seem to like it too...a bunch of my friends climb and with just a little encouragement converted from beer and soda to nuun...which they became just as addicted to (in a better way of course).

no flavor danger

this stuff is wonderful, and the flavor is perfectly light.

sharing is caring

my order was for me, my trainer, my brother and my workout partner. my brother drinks a lot of water when working outside, and in the 105+ degree texas summer weather couldn't understand why all the water he drinks doesn't quench his thirst. now he's a firm believer in nuun - just for day-to-day activities. he was really shocked at how much better he felt with 1 large bottle of water with nuun than he did after 2 or 3 or even 4 bottles of plain water. i gave my trainer some extra tubes. she is the assistant department head in the PT department at the gym. she shared some of hers with her staff and it was a huge hit. after they ran through 2 tubes in a couple of days, she sent them all to your website to get their own. one of the engineers i work with runs marathons and triathlons with his wife. we were discussing his training yesterday and explained all about nuun and its benefits to one of our new team members, so i gave him a tube. ...all those extra tubes you sent certainly went to good use! i've been spreading the good news! not only does the product speak for itself, but your excellent customer service impressed everyone i shared this with. thanks again!!!

busy girl

i love nuun, it gets me through (too) long days at the office and keeps me ready to move (yoga, hike, NIA, cycle, 2 kids) after.

fiery

hello, i am a lieutenant on a fire department in ohio. recently while instructing at a training fire, i began feeling the effects of dehydration. a friend who uses your product during his extreme workouts offered me your product. within 20 minutes i felt like a new man. i then went to our fire department and requested that your product be placed on our engines for rehab on fire scenes.

pleased with portability

i have been using your nuun tablets for several weeks now and have been very pleased with the product. i am a cyclist and the portability of the tablets is a big plus. i fill my water bottles up and just drop in a tab and its ready to go. love it.

sincerely

i tried the orange ginger flavor nuun sport drink tablets when i ran. i LOVED it! i am telling all my running friends to try it. it's not too sweet like other sports drinks. it does not give a bad aftertaste. when i am running, i don't feel thirsty. i think your product is great! thanks!

cruelty-free

seriously, i am a HUGE nuun fan and use nuun daily in my life as well as during exercise. i have turned on friends to nuun as well. and, just learned that nuun is truly an animal-friendly product (no animal testing, no animal products) which is a MAJOR BONUS for me and many others i know (you could market a lot in that community). just about to purchase myself some more nuun!

what we like to hear

yesterday was my first ever ride with nuun. my summary is this: hasta la vista, gatorade!!

...loved more than soda?

i started using nuun in my attempt to wean myself from drinking diet coke. i wanted to stop pouring chemicals in my body and to stop creating demand for aluminum cans. i am amazed, but i went cold turkey, no problems. i love water + nuun just as much as i loved soda, maybe more.

for landscape artists, too

i am a 67 year old, retired yacht broker. i know what water is all about: "in it," "on it," "with it," and "with-in." what seems fun to do, now that i am retired, is haul stones around my yard as landscaping is my new hobby. at my age, being in pretty good shape, the old legs just don't work like they should at the end of the day. cramps being the big problem. i discovered gatorade helped. so, i then realized electrolytes seemed to be the issue. as the creators of nuun discovered you can't find electrolytes "almost anywhere." with a last ditch effort, lucky me, i found any mountain in corte madera, just as they received some free samples. being the salesman that i am, i walked away with a free tube of the kona cola. what a gift! all i can say is thank you for a great product and giving my legs back. i would come out of retirement to let others know of nuun.

quickly now

thanks for your prompt service. you have a great product and excellent customer service!

with the strong ladies!

i was at the FSA grand prix track cycling race this past weekend and i tried your product. i needed to find a hydration product that worked for me. well, you name it, i have tried them, refresh, electrolyte tablets from natural factor, e load and the list goes on. nothing seemed to work, not to mention i also have to be careful of sugar and preservative content. this weekend i came across your product at the booth set up. on the saturday morning i have one tablet diluted in my water bottle. in the afternoon i had another one before my warm up and spin on the rollers. my first race was at 7pm. the difference in my legs was AMAZING, no cramping, no tightness. i was given legs that just wanted to go and go they did. this was the first time this season my legs cooperated with me and i felt great! my fellow canadians that were racing even commented on how well i did, instead of getting dropped off the back of the group like what has been happening all season. i was up front with the strong ladies!!! WOW!!!

like air

i cannot go through a day without my nuun!

warms our little hearts, blake

you guys are awesome! thanks for keeping us hydrated and our water bottles clean!

good work

on the kona, think it's really good. got hooked on flat coke doing ironman so kona nuun is just the thing. good work.

note from the world championships

hey nuun! i am tim on the voodoo cycles mountain bike team that you sponsored. first of all, thanks a million for the product! i absolutely love it. i have been using nuun everyday practically since i got it. training and racing! i just got home last week from italy and vermont where i competed in the MTB world championships for the U23 USA national team and had a blast. i took a two tubes of each flavor over seas since i was gone for a month and a half and i knew everyone would want to try it out. everyone was stoked on it and my italian friend who races for the merida pro team wants to buy some - i showed him your site! the stuff really works and it tastes great! when i go on super long 5,6,7 hour rides i just keep a tube in my back pocket, its awesome.

og (original gangster)

i'm a huge fan of your original nuun products, so i was looking forward to trying the new ones. the orange giner nuun is great. btw, i found nuun at the marine corps marathon expo in 2006 and started using it the following spring. my favorite use for it has been multi-day bike touring, when i need more than just water, but dealing with powdered drinks is impossible on the side of the road.

great and great

what a great product! i've been using a while now in training and think it's great.

i LOVE

your new flavors!!

nuun in the wild

i just want to say as an avid runner, adventure racer, and cyclist i use nuun almost daily. nuun keeps me going in the worst heat and exhaustion. i used nuun every day for my 6 day running race in costa Rica in january. my favorite flavor is kona kola with orange ginger coming in a close second.

nothing, parker. nothing.

nuun rocks. what else needs to be said?

from abroad

nuun so far has been a great success and we are starting to run out of nuun from our first import! i am passionate for rock climbing and now i am keeping my nuun almost in a safe box!

love and support

i just was introduced to your product in montana at primal quest. I am a runner/rower and coach in both areas. i was on a support team for PQ, so didn't take too many samples as i thought they were for the teams. however, while we were down in montana, i could not get over how dehydrated i felt. one of our team members gave me a lemon lime nuun tablet to try, and it was awesome.

the best drink

nuun is awesome! i think its the best drink. i prefer to have it over any other drink on the market. i use to be a BIG gatorade fan, but nuun has no calories and not as sweet. my favorite flavor is orange ginger. i use it on training/workout days after running, cycling or swimming. or any other time i need to hydrate, especially when i'm on an airplane which is pretty frequently. i also really like the uhydration product. however, i probably spend too much money on this stuff, but its great and cant help myself!

k.i.s.s.

tried your product today LOVED IT!

thanks, cameron

i wanted to drop a quick note, my wife and i just tried nuun for the first time about a week ago. (i know...i own a tri shop and haven’t even tried it) i guess we just get so accustomed to using what we are used to and forget to try new things. anyway, we loved it! we have been using it since and can’t believe we have only just tried it! just wanted to give you guys a little pat on the back, great product!

untiring of nuun

i know that i say this every time, but i just want to thank you guys for making such a great product. nuun keeps me drinking and hydrated throughout all of my events. i never seem to grow tired of the light, clean flavors and definitely seem to drink more than i would it it were just straight water. my co-worker drinks nuun daily (i turned him on to it and now he drinks two nalgene bottles a day in the office because he likes the flavor so much!)

next time you climb shasta

i was compelled to let you know how handy my nuun was on my trip. i brought a few different kinds of electrolyte supplements on the climb with me -- finishing all of them! the nuun had the easiest packaging (who can break open a packet full of powder at 45 degree slope?!?) and it was the ONLY one that dissolved in the cold water from the glacier that we used to fill our nalgenes. the others just sat in a clump at the bottom. i realized how important the nuun supplement was when i was up there and it helped out a lot. i would chose it again over GU powder and lyte n go. so...thanks nuun!!!

gretchen and the super-kidney

love your stuff - thought i’d let you know about why i drink it- so last year I got sick, in mexico - and i had to have one of my kidneys out. now i have only one kidney, which medically is fine, you only need one kidney to live a healthy life. however - it’s really important to stay hydrated to help the kidney out and not strain it by becoming dehydrated. so - i drink a lot of water anyway - i’m a runner and biker and generally in good shape, but the kidney needed more water than I could take in. I found your Nuun after trying all the typical stomach aching, high-sodium, muscle cramping off-the-shelf sugar drinks sitting on a lonely shelf all by itself. i bought one tube, and after a week went in and bought all the tubes and keep buying cases from this local bike shop. i don’t go anywhere without nuun. just thought it’d be good to let you know that medically, people who have to stay hydrated would really benefit from your product. i know i have. maybe push your product into some of the medical clinics or pharmacy’s so people like me can do their body good, with nuun. or maybe you could sponsor my super kidney, on its own team - working to keep me alive. (just kidding) thanks for making such a great product, from me and my one super kidney. all the best and to your continued unmitigated success!

supporting the og

thanks for the support! orange ginger rocks!!!

love and a half

i am running my 1st 1/2 marathon this year & have been struggling to swallow a very popular sports drink. i came across U natural hydration tablets. OMG! i can't believe there is no sugar. can't wait to see what other flavors nuun comes up with next!!!

short and sa-weet

your product is GREAT! i have diabetes and it helps when i get too dehydrated or have a migraine. thank you!!

what the heck are you called?

finally, someone made an electrolyte formula that works in the real world. no more spilled powder, tearing packages open or drinking stuff that tastes like sugar water. i do a lot of trail running, climbing, hiking, backpacking and adventure racing and i have tried all the other options out there to keep hydrated and my electrolyte levels up. 2 weeks ago i was doing the “fullmoon in June” 36hr adventure race and was doing the usual spilling of gatorade powder and having a sticky mustache trick in order to hydrate myself. at one point in the race when i had sticky red goop all down the front of my shirt i thought to myself…there must be a better way to do this. the next day after the race had ended i was watching the primal quest race updates and I saw team DART-NUUN and could not figure out what the heck nuun stood for. i clicked and found what i had been missing out on. the next day i was down at the local running store and found that they carried nuun. i immediately bought some too try and have been using it for the past week and really like it. i went on a couple of bikes, runs and a good hike in the scorching heat and the whole time i felt well hydrated and did not at any time think i would bonk or need anything besides the nuun in my water bladder. the other 2 hikers i was with were not as lucky and even the dog kept collapsing in the shade of the trees or laying down in the creek at every chance he had (it was freakin hot, mid 90’s). i felt great and did not have any of the usual cravings for salty foods that i usually get after a good hard hike. i just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that i will be letting everyone that i train with know about nuun (i might not tell people on the other teams though). thanks for making a product that addresses the problems of all the other products out there.

crushing on...

i am loving the orange ginger. first found some at REI. so gooood! tastes like orange crush, but much less sweet. my husband's favorite is the kona cola. he usually hates sports drinks, but the cola nuun tastes exactly like a coke (well, maybe a coke with ice melted in it!) he loves it!

tony will love u

this is tony from last year's big ride pacific coast. i can't wait to try u and i'm still telling everyone about nuun! thanks!

title nine's hooked

this nice rep with an accent dropped some nuun and natural hydration off in our store for us to try. he was here in boulder for a conference. we just wanted to say thank you so much, we love both of those products. we are all runners and cyclists here in the store, and have found that they were both great for our daily workouts. i have now switched to drinking nuun daily, the tri-berry is my favorite, and a HUGE help after daily long miles. thank you so much for thinking of us. we really enjoyed it!

saves a stop

your product ROCKS!!! i have had a sponsorship with nuun through sponsorhouse.com for a little while now and have used nuun on all of my training rides. i love the taste and the ease on the stomach. i rode 100 miles the other day and brought nuun along for the ride, no other sports drink allows for that ease in poratability and i definetly dont want to be drinking gatorade from the 7-11 i had to stop at to refuel. so THANK YOU! it is really helping my training/racing.

dogwalkers need nuun too

so just spreading the good hydration... i'm a triathlete turned ultra trial runner and regularly use and love nuun. i have two dogs, and we have a dog walker come a couple of times a week to take them on a nice walk. well we live in texas and i think we all know how hot it gets in texas in the summer! so my dog walker one day seems hot and drained from being out in the texas sun walking all day. so i ask her if she is hydrating to which she replies "oh yes i'm drinking gatorade but don't really like it". well i tell her oh no you should be using nuun and i proceed to tell her about the wonderful benefits of nuun, give her a tube of her own to try and ta da...of course she loves it and is a regular nuun consumer! now i've even paid her in nuun tablets, ha!

tell us how you feel. really.

i absolutely love nuun. great taste with all the electrolytes you need. it is portable, balanced, refreshing, and simple. i hate gatorade. i was at ironman, and they only offer gatorade. i took a gatorade bottle, dumped out the gatorade, filled it with water, and added a tri-berry nuun tablet.

kept 'em going

hi everyone, i just wanted to thank you so much for helping keeping me hydrated while I was at boot camp. as you might guess the activities there are quite strenuous physically. but I always had my nuun ready to go. having nuun with me on the crucible was essential. not a few recruits were suffering from hyponatremia but i knew the importance of having stable electrolytes and i kept on going even when the temperature was +100 and black flag. the DI's push drinking at least 12-14 canteens on a normal day but some recruits were doing 16-20 during the Crucible. i did 8 at most and 4 of them were enhanced with nuun. thank you so much.

no, seriously

i am in love! seriously! it was recommended that I try your product by suzanne in sporteve. i am an experienced triathlete and i had complained about all the calories in my hydration drink and how it had actually caused me to gain some weight my last season. she showed me your product and i was hesitant. i bought one tube and thought well, if it messes up my stomach, i will not have put too much money out. i had a short sprint race last weekend and came across your product still in my bag from the store. i thought, well i better try this after my race during my next training ride. i did!!! wednesday, then thursday, then yesterday and today. i cannot get over how light but effective your product is. i am on my way to by a case at REI today and will be urging my training partners to switch to your product. thanks so much!!!

easy with no aftertaste

we love your product. i like the fact that you don't have that sugarfree aftertaste that some products have. great stuff; not too sweet; easy going down; and seems to do the trick as far as hydrating our bodies.

love from down under

after stumbling across nuun we have quickly become fans. zena loves the fact that there are no calories, i have no idea what she's on about, but love the taste. the australian climate isn't the easiest on the body, and we really appreciate the re-hydration ability of nuun, and the convenience of the tablets goes without saying - no more messy dramas mid race when you open your pack to refill the camelbak. have been using nuun for a number of races now, from sprints up to 5 dayers, and the hydration difference is remarkable. thanks for a great product, it's very quickly becoming a winner when other teams see just how easy and effective it is.

restored power

this may sound like a channel 900 early morning advert, but i find this stuff fantastic. i thought my fatigue from training was lack of glucose, but after trying nuun i realised my muscles were losing contraction power due to electrolyte depletion. as i sweat incredibly heavy i can see a huge performance gain with nuun electrolyte replacement. all that muscle physiology is true. this stuff tastes quite nice!

horrendously hot

used nuun this year for training. first time i tried nuun. preparing for the wisconsin horribly hilly hundred. yesterday, it hit about 90 with the humidity at 75% at least. this was the first day of training with real heat. used nuun and breezed through the training. i felt great, the stuff is absorbed so quickly that i could literally guzzle a pint of nuun dissolved in my water bottle and it was empyting from my stomach in 10 minutes. i felt great, no leg cramping, and enjoyed all 90 miles. this stuff works and it is going to be my choice for all my cylcing and triathlon events including my ironman events. keep up the good work...

nuun and peanut butter

hi nuun team, i discovered nuun through watching online updates of various races. when i decided to find out exactly what nuun was, i got really excited, as i had gastric bypass surgery in 2004 and am unable to tolerate sugary electrolyte replacement drinks. what nuun has done for me, is allow me, the girl who used to weigh 400 pounds, to become a quasi-athlete. i started out participating in orienteering meets and wasn't ever quite happy enough with my placement in the finish. i decided i was the one holding our team back, as the people i was racing with were in better shape than i was, and decided that i needed to start trail running. because i bonk fairly quickly, i carry the nuun even on a training run. nuun has worked amazingly well for me and i'm currently in the best shape of my life (at about 145 pounds). i'm (slowly, cuz i'm a big chicken) branching out into cycling, and my bike proudly sports my nuun water bottles. thank you SO much for creating nuun. it has, honestly, allowed me to do things i never - ever - pictured myself doing. powered by nuun, and, umm...peanut butter banana sandwiches...

no tummy troubles

set out with some tri-berry nuun sunday morning, first time trying it. i was using other sports drinks but they were too sugary, gummed up in my throat after a few hours and gave me GI issues. i set out on a 60 mile ride, it was 85 degrees at 6 am and pushing 95 degrees when i got home 3 hours later. all i can say is THANK YOU. this stuff is fantastic!!! i never got that syrupy-in-the-back-of-the-throat feeling, legs stayed fresh, i was hydrated because this stuff tastes incredible, you want to keep drinking it!! i drank 2 h2o bottles and 2 bottes with nuun tabs, a few gels and never once did my stomach give me issues. i feel this will be the saving grace for my first half ironman providence in july. thank you!!

indispensable equipment

hi, firstly, i would like to congratulate you on an excellent, easy to use product that i now feel is an indispensable piece of equipment for any race having just competed in and WON my first ever multi-day running event to raise money for children's cancer charity. thought i would write to you to share my experiences with your product. being a scotsman living in england, UK running great distances requires keeping an eye on your hydration but to then undertake a 5 day, 5 stage, 150 km race in the unfamiliar hot and humid climate of guadeloupe in the caribbean means a whole new water/electrolyte/energy balance must be developed. thanks to nuun and it's simple, easy to use instructions that require no mixing and can be done whilst running i managed to stay one step ahead of my competitors stealing valuable seconds as they stopped to mix electrolyte and salt drinks. please continue to produce a great product, i wouldn't have made it off the start line without you.

straightforward, but tremendous difference

i sweat a lot when performing various physical activities that range from mountain biking to soccer but i always felt really drained the following day. i tried your product about 2.5 months ago, after using nuun i felt a tremendous difference. i was not as drained the following day and was able to do other activities. other things i like about your product are that it does not make feel jittery, nervous or bloated. it is a straightforward product that feels good. thank you.

rec racers need nuun, too

you will not find my name at the top of any pro sports charts, nor am i out there breaking any speed records, but my friends and i have been solid recreational athletes biking and running in local races for 20 years. recently i was out riding with my friend cathy and i was complaining that my gatorade concoction always left my mouth feeling sticky. cathy gave me a tube of the nuun tablets to try. now my friend christina and I are both hooked! it's great to get the electrolytes we need for long rides without the calories and the sticky feeling that sports drinks leave you with. thanks to cathy and nuun for taking care of hydration needs in a tasty way!

endorsed by coach dan

just wanted to take a minute to thank you for continuing to make such a great product. i just got back from st. croix 70.3 and it was by far the hottest, most brutal race i have ever done. the one thing i did not have to worry about was my hydration. even when it got up in the 90's with very high humidity, i was good to go. on the bike i just grabbed water from the aid stations, dropped a nuun tab in my aerodrink and filled it up. then for the run, i used my nathan bottle prefilled with tri-berry nuun so all i needed from the aid stations was ice. nuun helped me to a 70.3 world championship slot and i know it will get me to a kona qualifying time at im moo this september.

music to our ears

nuun is with me whether i am cycling, running, or during my life as an orchestral musician. i use nuun during my performances as a tasty drink and to keep the body's fluids balanced. nuun is the perfect drink over plain water during long engagements such as eight weeks of performances with mannheim steamroller.

nuun - they're not just for sporting events

hello nuun team! my 14 year old son has been working towards his goal of winning a prime lap in the cat 4/5 race, and last thursday his hard work paid off. he wanted and won the first prime, which was a nuun water bottle and nuun tablets - in his favorite lemon lime flavor no less! the groovy nuun bottle is now his official lucky water bottle. nuun tablets are an absolute necessity in our household. they are our preferred electrolyte replacement - they taste great - not too sweet - and are really portable. my 17 year old will be packing many a tube of nuun to share with his friends this weekend at an outdoor concert! thanks again for creating such a great product that works so well.

paul thinks we're awesome

hi, last summer i completed the gobi march which is a 250 KM endurace foot race in western china located within the gobi desert. the first day i started out just fine, with a regular type sports drink. little to my knowledge at the time, that was a big mistake. i bonked hard at mile 12. then came along another competitor from the UK. he handed me a tube of nuun. from then on it was love at first sip. within about 45 min i was back up and running, and for the rest of the race i used your product. what a life saver. it is the only product on the market i try to push to all my friends. i am currently a Marine serving in Iraq and I am using it out here when i can get it, for my training for some up and coming ultra marathons. you all are awesome!!!!

loyal customer

well nuun solved my cramp problem, i was struggling with cramps in my calves or quads around three hours into my adventure races, normally when swapping between disciplines (running/biking). and then I tried nuun, popping one in my pre-race drink, my pack-bladder and then one for post-race and not a case of cramps at all, just tired limbs instead. previously my cramps had been so bad i struggled to make it through the races and on one occasion had even been forced to quit a race half way through, i was worried i wouldn't be able to continue to compete until nuun came to the rescue. definitely an easy to use system to keep hydrated and get those all important salts, will continue to use, especially when i complete in the UK microsoft challenge in stirling later this summer.

triathlete just wants to say

hi - i want to be able to tell the world about nuun.

first race wonder

i raced a criterium at volunteer park on saturday and handed out some nuun while talking it up. a couple of racers were familiar with the product and those that weren't were very interested. i normally have a cramping problem and did not experience it during this this race. first race i have done since switching my hydratrion to nuun. i rode for 4 hours on sunday and again, no cramping issue. i love the stuff.

from bone marrow to the himalayas

hey guys - i just returned home from the himalayas, rock climbing in thailand, and indonesia. i am the bone marrow transplant survivor who used NUUN on my recovery and on my trip. i just wanted to say "thank you". the trip was a success and i was very happy to find that my body did well at altitude, maybe even better than before transplant. for me, NUUN is the easiest rehydration formula to use. it is light weight, has none of the mess that powders have, none of the high sugur content, is fast to prepare, and tastes great. NUUN was great in my recovery from a bone marrow transplant and helped me return to the himalayas as a professional mountain guide. in both of these arenas my life depended on staying hydrated and i know that NUUN really works as I was able to see my kidney function (creatinine) stay in the normal range during high doses of meds that should have shot my levels into the dangerously high range. during a climb of kyazo ri a 20420 peak in nepal, my body stayed hydrated and healthy. i trust NUUN with my life

MDS and no hydration issues

hi - i just returned from the Marathon Des Sables last night and wanted to let you know that NUUN worked incredible for me. i finished the MDS placing 10th in the women's division and 171st overall. i had an incredible week of running and not once had any hydration issues. the MDS doctors were telling the runners to use up to 6 salt tablets per 1.5 liters of water besides what they were using as a hydration product because of the heat. i used none of the salt tablets as i felt it was not needed with the NUUN. hence i had an incredible performance while others were struggling around me with dehydration and stomach issues. once again NUUN outperformed itself again for me. i cannot say enough about the product.

get my arse over the parse (said in posh british accent)

i was talking to 'mosko' yesterday and he mentioned that the company you're working for makes some electrolyte tablets (a la airborne) that both he and i put to good use in nepal this summer. mosko came down with the crazy sh*ts heading over an 18,000 foot pass and i'm convinced your stuff was the only thing that got him up and over - he couldn't keep solids in him for very long. the sherpas were also duly impressed, saying they had never seen anyone in his condition make it over the pass... love your product!

heading back to kona with nuun

i just got back from oceanside and doing ironman cali 70.3 where i won my age group and was the 6th amateur overall. it was a tough day with choppy water and wind and some really tough guys there this year fighting for the one kona slot which i won. now the real work begins. the nuun worked awesome on the bike and run. the bike was pretty windy as well as there was a headwind from mile 35 back home but i ran solid with the top time in my age group.

well done nuun

i have found this one of the best products that i have used. it is easy to carry, not messy like powders and works a treat. keep up the good work.

an angel's song

thanks, team nuun! i've been a fan of nuun for quite sometime, since one of my employees at roadrunner who competes cyclocross turned me on...and i've never looked back. it beats any other hydration source on the market, whether i'm biking or kayaking, or just plain draggin' from a late night out.

thanks for keeping me afloat!

here is my fantastic nuun experience: i was spending lots of time in the pool with my new swim club and began having trouble with my feet and calves cramping near the end of my early morning practices in the 136 meter pool here in vancouver. one time in particular, my calf cramped so severely that i was left gripping the side of the pool in severe pain. the lifeguard actually asked if i needed help out of the water. my calf muscle actually cramped so hard, it pulled itself! i was limping for a few days after while it healed. my coaches and training partners hypothesized that the cramping was probably due to an electrolyte deficiency exacerbated by an almost constant state of dehydration (no matter how much water I drank!). i wasn't really interested in having a high sugar sports drink at the pool edge so my good friend suggested I try these nuun electrolyte tablets she had discovered. and the results? DRAMATIC. i am now a happy, happy, virtually cramp-free swimaholic. i make sure i prepare before my workouts with a bit of nuun to get the electrolytes flowing. if i notice my foot or calf muscles itching to spasm, i find a couple sips of my nuun save the day (and a possible pool drowning). i have a constant stock of tubes in my cupboards, and a spare at work for my afternoon training, i am so happy i discovered your product- i look forward to my 2008 pro-triathlon season with my nuun electrolyte tablets. thanks for keeping me afloat!

mr hellgate 100k will never again drink the sticky "sports drinks"

i run ultramarathons. the tougher, the better. i am one of nine 5-time finishers of the grueling hellgate 100k race that takes place in the mountains of virginia, in the middle of december, starting at midnight. in the previous four years, this race has left me bruised, battered, with muscle soreness that cannot be described. well, in 2007 nuun was the official electrolyte replacement product for the hellgate 100k. i drank it the entire 14 hours that i was out there. the race went well, and i finished in my second best time. but the recovery is where i really noticed the difference. normally this race leaves me limping for days. but not this year. i was able to run just two days after the event. i had very little muscle soreness. and here's where the story gets better. my wife came down with a stomach flu that same weekend.she could not eat or drink anything for 24 hours. she said that the sports drinks that we had in the house were too sweet. so i talked her into trying some nuun. within hours she was feeling better, getting hydrated again, and on the mend. since my first exposure to nuun at the 2007 hellgate 100k, it has been my go-to product for electrolyte replacement. i will never again drink the sticky "sports drinks" that most races offer.

thank you nuun

gu gone

i was in my usual store, to get GU2O and they recommended that i try nuun...they gave me a sample tablet (triple-berry) and i tried it on a ride today... it was great. it's much less sweet (and GU2O isn't all that sweet, like the yucky gatorade-type stuff) and provided even more NA+ and K+. obviously, it's a whole bunch easier to carry on my bike rides...now, all i need is a tube of nuun in my bike jersey for the long rides, like the centuries, and a couple of water bottles.. where have you been all my (riding) life?!!

i trust nuun with my life...!

nuun review

i made a switch this past summer to a new hydration drink. nuun. after two bad hydration experiences that caused extreme cramping during the Fat Tire Festival in 2003 and 2004, i needed to find a solution. i purchased a beautiful pre-owned cannondale road bike in June of 2007 and the miles added up fast. nuun made a difference immediately. my time in the saddle without cramps seemingly doubled. i could spin faster and push myself further than i could before using nuun and i logged more road miles in 2007 than i ever did before. positives: the flavor is not overwhelming. nuun dissolves completely and does not have a gritty taste. the tube and tablets pack easily in your jersey for replenishment along the trail. also works well to cure weekend hangovers

nuun kicks butt

wanted to let you know that we have a new sponsor on board this year. nuun is going to be our hydration sponsor for 2008 and hopefully well beyond. i have been a huge supporter of this product from the moment i first tried it. nuun has quickly gained a ton of market share and there is good reason for it. their product kicks butt, is easy to use, extremely portable, and they have the "subtle" taste that other sports drinks just can't seem to figure out.

monster praise

we tried it in our running group and absolutely love it. there are a few of us that really sweat like monsters and have had problems with muscle cramps, stomach upset extreme fatique (the bonk), etc. after 14 miles this weekend, we felt much better using nuun. we are telling everyone!

nuun, you are the only thing in my water bottles

i kept stitching up about 2K into the run, every time. i narrowed down the culprit, high fructose syrup!! nasty stuff. with as much water as i drink, it gets pretty blah. then i met nuun! what a product. perfect flavor, and the kola offers just the right amount of caffeine. thanks nuun, you are the only thing in my water bottles.

nuun rules!!!

no mysterious powder...

we've just added to our stock nuun active hydration tablets. these are electrolyte tablets which hydrate you better than water. rather than being in the usual powder form which flies all over the place when you get it out of the bag on a windy hill (not to mention being stopped at every airport you go through for carrying white powder), it comes in a fast acting tablet which creates a still drink. it also tastes pretty good and comes in a range of flavours - if you're out fell running or even walking this is a practical solution which seems far better than the usual sugary energy drinks.

eliminating empty liquid calories

i think that eliminating empty liquid calories will be a huge aid in my little quest that i have become obsessed with. and in the process i will kick that nasty soda habit. my kona cola flavoured nuun is mighty close in taste and texture. and instead of sugar i get electrolytes!

with nuun i will kick my soda habit, oh yes!

now stocking nuun

i've been trying this product for about a month now, and we've decided to stock it at the shop (allegro cyclery). i've found them particularly helpful for staying hydrated on rides in colder weather. the flavour keeps you sipping on your bottle, as opposed to ignoring your bottle of plain, cold water. on longer rides in any season, put the whole sealed tube in your jersey pocket or saddle bag. since you sweat more than plain water, you have to put those minerals back in your system!

the right way to kick off the new year!

i got my nuun supplies today and am enjoying the refreshing zing of the tri-berry. this stuff isn't just great on the run, its great at home to give water a little excitement. as i try to get into peak shape nuun is sure to help me stay on track. thanks nuun!

nuun on standby!

as re-hydration products go, this one rocks and we're not alone in thinking this! you might question the need for re-hydration at this time of year but trust us - you'll need them. hangovers are caused by the brain de-hydrating and because nuun is seriously good at getting fluids back into your system it's also an excellent 'morning after' recovery aid. not, of course, that we are advocating excessive alcohol consumption but just making sure that if you do overdo it there's something on standby.

team nuun bmx style!

just wanted to thank you for getting into the bmx world. living and training in the rocky mountains in the winter makes it really hard to stay hydrated cause it's so dry up here, but now that i have nuun i have gone from riding 6 miles a day to 15 miles a day just because i stay hydrated....that's a big jump in miles per day! so thanks again! nuun is some good stuff!

hydration that is wonderful

a few months ago i was told about a product for hydration that was wonderful...so i hit the web and found the website and ordered a tube of nuun. these tablets are so easy to use...seriously, you just drop one tablet in 16 ounces of water and let dissolve. how simple is that? previously, i had to measure and mix...the product i had been using had a tendency to be a bit gritty, too. nuun is lovely...very refreshing. and no sugar!

the leader

our team would like to say thank you to nuun for sponsoring our us for 2008. as the leader in fluid electrolyte replacement, we don't have anything else in our bottles, ever. we use nuun for pretty much every workout we do!

the electrolyte solution

i've been having problems taking in electrolytes, dissatisfied with the various electrolyte pills out on the market which have started irritating my stomach. the nuun tablets work great and make my water more like a fizzy flavored soda so i can take in electrolytes gradually.

no more stomach problems

thanks for helping me get hellgate finish #5. this years hellgate did not leave me as sore and tired as past years have. i did drink nuun and water only this year, and i had no stomach problems at all. i was able to eat all day. last year i had trouble eating or drinking early in the race. i'm sticking with nuun from now on!

huckin huge

thank you for adding me to your team. i'm stoked to be a part of nuun....and i'm glad that you have dipped into the whitewater kayaking market. i'm the head of the industries leading extreme whitewater kayaking site called huckin huge. (www.huckinhuge.com) thanks again!

love this stuff

i don't normally care about products, but i love this stuff.

listen to them, they know what they are talking about

nab some nuun active hydration tabs for optimal hydration wherever you are.

nuun peer pressure

instead of swallowing salt tablets every hour, i gave nuun a shot yesterday, after reading about it on a couple of peoples' blogs. tasted great and seemed to work really well. i'm definitely going to stick with it.

no overdoing the sugar!

the nuun tabs are easy to tuck into a purse or bag, so i can always have them available. they mix easily and taste great. i like that they have no calories, so don't feel that i have overdone the sugar.

use nuun for all activities

i use the nuun for all activities. nuun tastes good and has a light fiz. i find that i am reaching for the nuun-water more often when it tastes good than i would if it were just water. so i do find that i stay more adequately hydrated when using this product simply because i'm drinking more. i drop them in my platypus bladder - and amazingly, nuun leaves no residue or lingering taste in the bladder or hose.

taste good, mix easily, and travel very well!

i'm so glad rei finally started carrying these drink tabs--i initially bought straight from the company after reading about them in a magazine. they all taste good, mix easily, travel very well in their tube, and do what they advertise--hydrate and replace electrolytes with nearly no carbs.

nuun offers hydration & support

thanks for your great support on our colorado relay. our runners loved nuun and we do too. nuun is definitely at the top of our list of drink products. i'll be back in touch so we can talk about next year...!

nuun celebration!

to celebrate my 60th birthday, my 20 year old twin sons and i planned to do a long backpack trip this summer, which included a hike to mt. whitney. starting in march, i purchased and we taste-tested 12 different sports hydration products, some that were mixed in water, and some eaten. nuun tablets came in at the top, in flavor, salts and minerals provided, and lowest in weight. and believe me, on a 68 mile backpack with 10,000 feet gain and loss, weight was a huge consideration. nuun helped us make it through 9 long days, and kept us from "hitting the wall." the ease of use was great--2 tablets in our nalgene bottles and we were ready to hit the trail. since our backpack trip, my husband, sons, and i have been using the nuun tablets in our bike water bottles when we cruise around the county on our recumbent bicycles. the flavor's refreshing, unlike some other sports drinks i could mention that leave my mouth feeling like i've been sucking on a lollipop all day. thanks for making a great product!

i'm hooked!

i used to just drink bottled water every day to re-hydrate before and after training. then i found nuun at the local tri shop and thought i would give a tube a chance. that one bottle quickly turned into five, with at least one in every bag i take with me to train, and one in my car. the tubes compact size is a perfect fit everywhere i might stash it. whether after a hot run in the summer, or during a long bike ride, it's quick, convenient and effective. recently i have found it to be the perfect pool side hydration, exactly what i need in between sets. best of all it's airtight tube fits neatly in my swim bag and since water is anywhere you find it so is my nuun. i'm hooked...

from the depths of the grand canyon to the tip top of mt. elbert

nuun has taken me from 4 days in the grand canyon to the top of mt. elbert, the 2nd tallest peak in the lower 48 this summer. the contrast from 118 degrees fahrenheit in the canyon in may to 43 degrees fahrenheit at the peak in august made hydrating a necessity. nuun definitely paid for itself many times over. i love the attitude of everyone at nuun and i like the product.

no "sugar high"

nuun is an amazing product! as an endurance athlete it is crucial that you have the proper balance of nutrition and electrolytes in order to train and race your best. nuun allows you to maintain your levels, the flavors taste great and with no added sugar, you don't have to worry about the "sugar high" that you may encounter with competitor's products. i only race and train with nuun, it is the best product out there.

nuun in the bomb trailer

i am a paramedic, a swat medic and i also ride motorcross with my 2 sons on days off. when i first tried nuun i was amazed at the feeling i had while riding. it is also great for my line of work! i was on a call out with the bomb squad and i gave nuun to the bomb techs and they loved it. they want to get some to put on the bomb trailer. nuun is a hit!

complex sugar-free electrolyte goodness

here's a better way to get hydrated, wherever you are: just drop a nuun hydration tablet in your water bottle and get complex sugar-free electrolyte goodness that recharges your salts, but is more refreshing and efficiently absorbed than water or sports drinks. if you are tired of those over sweetened energy drinks, give nuun a taste and you will become a daily user!

sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in the rear view mirror

as an ultra cyclist, i can tell you that optimal hydration is more than a concern, it is a necessity. without keeping electrolyte balance, a rider won't be able to continue another hour, much less another 40. from my perspective, your products are a God send: easily prepared, extremely dependable hydration and thoroughly enjoyable tastes. i can tell you that i am very happy to put sugar and high-fructose corn syrup in the rear view mirror permanently.

started out as a tool & became a permanent fixture

until the next race, i will keep training and keep drinking nuun. its so easy to take everywhere! it started out a training and racing tool, but has quickly become a permanent fixture. i wont go anywhere without it!

"you can't beat that with a stick"

i just completed the amgen california coast classic bike ride from san francisco to los angeles. this ride is a fundraiser for the arthritis foundation. i rode 520 miles in eight days to mark my tenth year of living with rheumatoid arthritis and i did it powered by kona cola nuun! thanks for making such a great product. nuun tastes great, works great and it's easy to carry. you can't beat that with a stick.

to the summit of carstensz piramit

when you are doing stunts like climbing carstensz piramit in one of the most remote areas of the world, there is a great confidence in having nuun to count on for the right hydration!

who knew?

stay hydrated, use nuun! drinking water isn't enough, did you know that you also need to replace electrolytes after exercising?

to the top with nuun

nuun was the great success of our ascent up one of the highest peaks in the world, changabang in india, with all of us using it all the time. the guys thought it was awesome, and there was always a scramble to make sure you had your nuun - i don't think we drank water without it! it was great to help with acclimatisation when hydration is really critical, and i used it after a bout of delhi-belly to rehydrate.

flying through nuun bottles

nuun electrolyte tablets were my supplement of choice to stay optimally hydrated during race week for ironman kona. i flew through these bottles while in hawaii, and kept my sodium levels topped off for the race!

good work

i would just like to say that of all the hydration products that i have used during my various races, nuun is the best! thank you and keep up the good work!

what goes out, must come back in

simply put, the label on a tube of nuun says it all, "active hydration". nuun contains the sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. these are all things an active body is going to need. sodium and potassium are supplied for obvious reasons, athletes sweat these directly out of their systems. what goes out, must come back in or there will be problems. it's a pretty simple equation.

putting out the fires!

the packaging is great for the firefighters. nuun is so convenient and easy to carry. everybody likes the taste too! we are chewing them up like sweet tarts!

a new discovery

the discovery of these very cool and decent tasting electrolyte tablets that help replace the electrolytes that i seem to lose faster than most have been helpful for me during my marathons. i noticed after this last marathon (chicago) that i was way better hydrated and much less salty. i swear by this stuff!

to the olympic trials!!!

i used nuun yesterday during the st. george marathon and i am madly in love with your product! nuun helped me qualify for the olympic trials in november.

no more muscle cramps!

i am an avid bike rider. one problem that has always plagued me are muscle cramps in my legs following a ride. using nuun for the first time on the alaw's big ride pacific coast, i was very pleasantly surprised to find, for maybe the first time ever, no leg cramps! i ran out of tablets a few days before the finish. the first day without nuun, cramped up again! i ended up borrowing enough to make it to san francisco and again, no problems. so, a very sincere thank you for an excellent product.

from new bone marrow to the himalayas!

in 2004 i was diagnosed with a rare bone marrow dissorder called aplastic anemia. full body radiation, 14 rounds of chemo, a bone marrow transplant and 3 years later i have survived and will be heading back to the himalayas to climb and guide on october 13. since then i have used nuun to help with my recovery as my creatinine (liver function) was constantly dangerously high due to transplant and medications i was taking at the time. the use of nuun actually helped keep my liver function at a safe level by hydrating, as my body healed. i will be taking nuun on this upcoming expedition to the himalayas! thank you

an obvious difference

this stuff is great! it is truly the 1st product that i've used that has made such an obvious difference! i am down to 2 tubes! please send more!

"third world"

whether you're visiting the pyramids in guatemala or egypt, it's going to be hot. walking around the jungle or desert and climbing ruins is hard work and requires lots of water, but water doesn't replace lost nutrients, and good luck finding sport drinks in the "third world". nuun comes to the rescue!

another solid run

it was another solid stomach run with nuun... doing the trick all day with some nibbling off the aid station tables!

good for your lungs too!

thank you for supplying us with nuun on the american lung association's pacific coast ride. your product is a fantastic alternative to gatoraide.

slight bublicious goodness

i've been a nuun fan since back when it was only available in lemon-lime. the kona-cola has that extra caffeine kick for early morning sessions, while the citrus-fruit combines great with the flavor of my carbohydrate supplement. i stay well hydrated before, during and after workouts thanks to the subtle flavors and slight bublicious goodness that makes me want to keep drinking.

to the summit!

i am a professional mountain guide and this summer i tried nuun for the first time on rainier... i loved it! not only for myself but for my clients. you see, climbing rainier in just a few days is one of the hardest endurance events. after every climb most folks are utterly exhausted, sometimes to the point of getting dangerous. after one climb i passed out the nuun tabs like candy and it had a profound impact. i will surely use your product on my future climbs worldwide.

great change of pace

as a first year triathlete there's a lot that can overwhelm you, between equipment, training and nutrition, there are a number of variables. thankfully nuun helped answer some questions on the nutrition side of things. when i couldn't stomach sports drinks anymore because of the sugar content, i was able to turn to nuun. i could easily grab a water bottle from the aid station drop in a nuun tablet, and get my fluids and electrolytes without the sugar and sweetness. the clean taste of nuun provided a great change of pace. i finished my first half ironman strong thanks in part to nuun.

what a relief!

wow, what a relief! little effervescent tablets you just drop in your water bottle with a light, refreshing taste and very little sweetness. the perfect chaser for your energy bar or gel (which will take care of the carbos you need to replace). i found myself drinking more! the tube fits easily into a seat bag, so if you have access to water, you have your electrolyte replacement on board. no more sticky sweet drinks, messy bags of mix, or expensive little individual serving packets. p.s. i'm riding about 2 mph faster this season

sticking with nuun

instead of swallowing salt tablets every hour, i gave nuun a shot yesterday, after reading about it. it tasted great and seemed to work really well. i'm definitely going to stick with it. just three more hard weeks of training, then it's taper time....yeah baby!

if ironkids can use it, you can too!

i am currently the head coach for the hawaii youth triathlon series and club, as well as starting a group here in austin, texas. currently my wife, daughter and i use your product and encourage my other athletes to use your product instead of some of the high carbohydrate and sugar containing products currently on the market. nuun is a product that can be used anywhere by just adding it to water versus some of the other products that require more work. my daughter amber competed at ironkids this last weekend where she finished 1st in her age group and is also ranked 10th in the nation as a youth elite triathlete! thanks again!

the perfect ironman product

in the past i used salt tablets and drank gatorade - that did not work. this year (and in all training) i finally found something that works 100% of the time. nuun! nuun gave me something so important. it gave me the ability to do an ironman and finish in good health. this stuff is the best! i was able to drink my way around the 112 miles and feel almost 100%. nuun is the best, as after about 4 or 5 hours it was impossible for me to swallow salt tabs. i want to send a huge shout out to the team at nuun for the ultimate ironman product!

"nuun-hard to say, easy to digest"

i am easily affected by the heat and dehydration. so, on my "long" ride, i still need to have something other than just water if i don't want to get splitting headaches after the ride. i need electrolytes, nuun provides those electrolytes with out all the sticky, sugary, gooey "goodness" that we are used to. the taste is faint and barely noticeable, which is exactly what i was looking for. i have avoided the affects of dehydration, and did not suffer headaches later in the day as i usually would! when i realized my tube only had one tablet left, i scrambled to find a local dealer so i could buy another tube before my saturday ride!

no more antifreeze, please!

thank you! i am currently in week 13 of an 18-week training program for the columbus marathon, my first. i use nuun to hydrate before and after runs, and also use it at the office when my nine- and ten-mile midweek runs have left me feeling sluggish. (ok, so i don't get enough sleep.) i can't believe i will have to put up with 26.2 miles of gatorade endurance formula, which turns my stomach and leaves me feeling nauseated and crampy. i anxiously await the day when race directors will wake up and realize that "the other stuff" would be put to much better use as antifreeze. i love your product.

nuun keeps my muscles firing!

nuun makes water a treat and drinking plenty of it is never a problem. nuun is always with me, for my 10 mile run or 400 mile race across america. nuun is with me for the long haul...i always carry nuun to keep my muscles firing.

nuun on ice

i used to get migraines after almost every hockey tournament, finally attributed it to dehydration!! since i have been adding nuun to my water bottles on the bench, and drinking it between games, no more migraines!!!!! i love that it's not sticky, since water seems to go everywhere when you're trying to drink it through a facemask, and doesn't bog you down if you drink too much. i never used to like to drink during games, but now i don't mind, and i feel better for it!!

trusted friends share nuun

i first tried your product at the advice of a friend i trust. my boyfriend and i love your lemon lime flavored tablets! they were great while we were training for our first half marathon and a wonderful additional to our general hydration practices. i sing the praises of your product to everyone i know who works out regularly.

new discovery

i have just discovered nuun.......... brilliant, hydration without sugars & carbs. thanks!

nuun's changed my life

i was physically diagnosed with an electrolyte imbalance by my doctor. he particularly stressed your product because of my low levels of sodium and potassium. he talked to me about avoiding carbohydrates in drinks because they interfere with my body's ability to quickly utilize sodium. i found only one store in my city that sells nuun and i have been buying it ever since. thank you for all of your research in developing this product. it has really changed my ability to exercise at an optimal level and in return has changed my life.

need more nuun

my girlfriend turned me on to nuun about 6 months ago. we finally used up the supply she had so we HAD to get some more! we use it during and after just about every workout. it's the only thing i've found that doesn't make me more thirsty after drinking it like other drinks (ie gatorade, powerade, etc). not to mention it tastes great!

big fan!

big fan of nuun. awesome product. thanks!

hooked!

i was an exhibitor at outdoor retailer and a rep from your company was handing out samples of your product and now i am hooked!

getting back into the spin of things

i have decided to get back in to mountian biking after a 4 year break due to open heart surgery (at age 27). it's been 10 months since i started back up, i have done some longer rides, and hit that wall halfway through. 3 weeks ago 1 did an 18 mile ride and felt really good using some other energy stuff. but at mile 15 i cramped up so bad that i had to sit and wait it out for 20 minutes every 1/4 mile or so...not a fun end to a great ride. the other guys i ride with are in way better shape than i am and they are usually a few minutes ahead of me....so i was way behind them getting back too the parking lot on this day. i heard about nuun from a friend that is training for a triathalon. i went to REI and bought 3 tubes of it. the very next weekend i filled my hydration pack with nuun. off i went to do another 15 mile or so ride at conyers horse park, the site of the 96 olympic mtb events, with the same guys. this course is KILLER....you never get much of a chance to rest with a longer downhill. each down hill is followed by a climb. this time things were better for me. not only did i not cramp, i was also able to keep up with the pack much better. they all commented on the difference form the week before to this week. i am sold on this stuff....it's not the typical snake oil you hear about...this is the real deal IT WORKS. so far i have only tried the kona cola....but i plan on getting through every one of the flavors. thanks!

best tri season of life!

since i started taking nuun this past summer i have had the best tri-season of my life. i qualified for the usat age group national championship and also qualified for the world championship ironman 70.3. thank you for your product!

repeat repeat repeat repeat customers baby

i am very pleased with how nuun has performed in our store. nothing but great feedback from staff and customers, and the number of repeat customers is incredible. thanks for the great product!

no pukey!

a friend of mine turned me on to the product and i first used it in practice last weekend on a pretty gnarly and very long road ride with quite a bit of climbing and in fairly intense heat. i was feeling pretty pukey at one point (i hadn't been drinking nuun yet that day), then felt remarkably better after drinking a quart. anyway, i continue to drink it consistently all and feel great. thanks!

can't get more genius than nuun

i work for international mountain guides in ashford, wa0. i saw you product in the latest issue of inside outdoor and thought "hey, this is the perfect product for our guides!" why hasn't anyone thought of making a drink mix in tab form? and sugar free electrolytes? genious!

tremendous results using nuun

thanks for a great product. living in austin, tx, maintaining proper hydration is always a challenge. my husband is an avid cyclist and has gotten tremendous results using nuun. thanks!

see the light

i wanted to thank you for your great product. i have felt great all season and not once have i felt like i haven't had enough fluids, even after a day riding for 3 hours in the desert. i have been wearing my visor, t-shirt and showing off my water bottles with pride. informing all that i know about the greatness of your product. one of my friends couldn't believe that i wasn't taking in calories in my sports drink and was impressed with my results. hopefully so he will see the light.

smooth, easy to drink, electrolyte replacement and now my husband loves it too!

i'm on the montrail/nathan ultrarunning team and i absolutely LOVE that nuun is helping sponsor us and fuel us with such a smooth, easy to drink, electrolyte substitute. i'm enjoying hurl-free races, smoother energy and mood levels during the ultras (all a factor of my calories and electrolytes/fluids balance). i actually like each of the flavors thus far which is GREAT with my cranky gi tendencies...i look fwd to drinking when i have a nuun tab in the bottle. i appreciate that i can preload them in the nathan handheld pouches for easy access at aid stations... water up... and go.... and the tubes are easy to find in drop bags based on feel. nuun tablets have even helped convince my husband that hydration is good and necessary and makes you feel better ... and with it, he just ran his longest run ever (17.x mi) in prep for his first 50k ever... THANK YOU for taking solid, simple hydration to the racers, the trainers, and the masses! keep up the good work! and holler at us if we can spread the good word in a particular way!

for outdoor enthusiasts but also wonderful for those who take care of the outdoors for us

just wanted to say thanks for a great product. while working for the national park service earlier this summer as caretaker at remote and abandoned portsmouth island off the north carolina coast, i had to deal on a daily basis with high heat, a horrendous mosquito population, and constant tiring physical labor. i took some nuun along to try as i thought it would help, and i was right. it gave me the endurance to get through some rough days. thanks again!

saved husband's life at IM and now off to 1/2 IM world championship

thanks - you guys rock and so does your product! saved my husband's life on his most recent 1/2 ironman and he qualified to go to the world championship 1/2 ironman in clearwater, florida, thanks to nuun!!!!!

nuun is a lifesaver

nuun literally saved my life last week. i am up to 65 miles a day on my training which means i now have to carry more hydration because i am sweating more. dummy me forgot that my blood pressure medication has a diuretic in it and this was causing me to "bonk" and get real close to heat exhaustion on the return leg of my ride. luckily i always carry an extra tube with me in my hydration pack, so i stopped and bought some more water, added some more nuun and was soon on my way again. i shudder to think what would have happened if i had not been able to replace the electrolytes lost in the sweat. i'm a believer, and i am trying to make everyone else i know who cycles a believer as well. bikejournal .com is where i log my miles and i have posted in their forum how much i depend on my nuun, so i hope others will do the same.

nuun is awesome

your product is awesome. i've been using nuun in conjunction with gels and efs from first endurance on my long runs. this combination has been working great for me. when i've been out for a few hours and my stomach is going south nuun still tastes refreshing. i'm heading to the el vaquero loco 50k this weekend and they will have nuun at the aid stations...

it tasted almost as good during the last mile as it the during the first

hi nuunites. i first tried nuun when i was mixing some up for an aid station at capitol peak 50 miler near olympia this spring. i thought it was yummy, liked the very slight bubbly feel in my mouth, and ordered a box. i've used it on long (2-10 hour) training runs since then and have been very happy with it. it's also revived me and my husband after we worked ourself silly moving gravel and dirt in the yard all one 90+ degree day. but i hadn't tried it in a race until this past saturday, when I ran the pct 50 miler on mt. hood. i drank nothing but nuun all day and had no cramping and no stomach issues --electrolyte levels and hydration seemed to stay on track all day. it tasted almost as good during the last mile as it did during the first. i usually tire of other drinks so find myself drinking less and before i know it i'm dehydrated. i also really liked the fact that it wasn't contributing to my calorie intake. it was much easier to keep track of the calories i was taking in without having to figure in any in my drink...thanks for creating a great product! really good flavors, not sweet, so convenient to carry on long runs or put in drop bags, and they don't raise eyebrows when you take them through airport security in a carry-on (unlike pre-measured bags of powdered drink mixes!). i've been giving tubes of it to my active sibling/siblings-in-law and they like it too.

using nuun and loving it!

i have been using nuun now for about a month and i love it! i am really happy with the results! i love the clean taste! i travel for work too and really like the tube packaging! thanks for making a great product.

personal supply of hydration...just for you from the folks at nuun

i filled up my water bottle with water and plopped in a nuun tablet. when i was first sponsored by nuun i wasn't really sure of how my body would react to the new stuff, but over the last several months i have really come to appreciate the ease and convenience of the little tablets. unlike the mystery aide drink they had on the ride, nuun is always the right consistency and taste. when they mix up the power drinks at the rest stop they always seem to use different amounts of powder and this means that sometimes it taste just right but most times it is either too strong or too week. i actually used up an entire bottle of nuun tablets on the ride, and i was so happy to have such a convenient and personal supply of my very own perfect hydration mix.

hooked on nuun

i first had nuun tablets and a triathloncamp and was hooked ever since. my recent sponsorship retailer store carries them and i used them prior to my half-ironman and after for recovery. THEY ARE AWESOME!!!

goal to climb world's tallest mountains as the youngest climber

NOTE: the team at nuun thinks jordan is great. not just because he's doing he loves and well, what we wish we could when were just 10 years old, or even 11 years old. but because he will be the youngest person to summit 7 peaks around the world! he's already got 3 out of the way. well, and plus he's just super cool to begin with. oh yeah, did we mention he's one of our sponsored athletes?! click here to read more about his adventures and see what peak he'l be on next! www.jordanromero.com

i don't like to drink sweet stuff when i climb and my dad has always told me to take electrolytes, that it's "good for my muscles"...the only thing that works for my legs is nuun. it's easy and i love nuun.

xterra national and world championships here we come!

*NOTE: james is one of nuun's sponsored athletes. we think he's just great! however, we also thought we'd clarify when we say "here we come!" we actually mean "here he comes"... though we will definitely be cheering and screaming for him.

the xterra season so far has been HOT! most xterra races get off to later starts and we are still racing in the middle of the day in 90+ degree heat. this has made staying hydrated both during before the race and during the race itself very important. nuun has been a key to my success. by the time i finish the swim, come off the bike, and head out to the run it’s already been a long, hot day. i take in nuun on the course and it is my sole source of electrolytes and regardless of the heat, i know when i hit the run i am hydrated and ready to throw down. nuun just makes it easy-no need to fumble around with pills or the sugary drinks offered on the course. i will continue to use nuun as i train and race myself to the xterra national and world championships.

loving nuun!

my wife and i have recently purchase a 9 pack of nuun and we love it! it has really helped with headaches and fatigue. we have started to recommend it to all of our friends and they are catching on. thanks again for a great product.

nuun believer

just wanted to say thanks for your awesome product , it's my favorite sports drink - period! prior to joining team mobile money, i'd never heard of nuun. i'd tried gatorade, powerade, sustain (some other powdered drink), and others, but never found one that i LOVED. the others all "worked", but left me feeling even more thirsty, and most had far to "sticky-sweet" of a taste. i gave nuun a shot and instantly noticed a difference in the taste - a GOOD thing. it works beautifully for me whether it be 40-degrees out, 90-degrees, etc. No sugary or overbearing aftertaste at all - just pure refreshment. i'm a firm believer in nuun now and promote it to others every chance I get.

rockin' AR team, product and new flavour!

i'm an avid adventure racer and trail runner and was a volunteer at primal quest 2006... you have a bad ass adventure racing team. well, thanks for a kick ass product! i love the new cola flavor - it tastes like a watered down diet coke which is a perfect fix when on the trail so you dont get too much sweetness, but still get the refreshment of a soda.

to bonk or not to bonk?

I recently started to bonk on Mt. Whitney. I was given a sample of your product to try and remembered that I had it with me in my backpack. Long story short I summitted without any problems and your product worked!

we love nuun love!

i wanted to drop you and quick note and let you know your product is awesome. it kicks ass. a friend up in seattle who knows a few of you guys recommended it a while ago and i finally got around to trying it. love the kona kola. love the convenience of the container. love that my hydration doesn’t taste like a syrupy mess. love that my cramping on long rides seems to be lessoned. i just completed the death ride in tahoe and i sincerely attribute nuun to helping me get through that death march much faster than anticipated. thanks for developing a great product. keep up the good work!

tastes great and the packaging isn't too shabby

i have been using your product for about one month at this point. i really find it to be very effective for rehydration and it's not too sweet. thank you very much for being innovative in your packaging.

10th place in 1st race and loving nuun

i will never give up on nuun cause it´s the best! just talked to my friend tonight and he is a true believer in nuun and we have been active in introducing nuun in iceland. regarding my 100 km race, my friend had few nuun tablets left and with that i ran the 100 k in extreme heat and it was very nice to pass some folks in the end when the heat forced them to walk. 10th place in my debut race were 1/3 of the field quit due to the hot conditions.....not bad. THANKS TO NUUN!

loving it and wanting more

i was in nz for a running race a few weeks ago, 10km for me, and marathon for hubby, and a cycling mate gave us some nuun to try. we loved it and can't wait to get some in australia.

no more dehydration on climbing trips...bring on those v.13s!

i love nuun. i used to always get dehydrated on climbing trips, and now i run one or two tabs in every water bladder and i haven't had a problem since. great stuff, especially the new kola flavor

switched to nuun and pure awesomeness

i recently purchased 2 tubes of nuun at inside out sports at ironman idaho. I LOVE IT!!! i have used it on my last 2 training rides & on an 18-mile run yesterday. i used to use accelerade, but just switched to perpetuem & added the nuun to that. awesome.

nuun athlete qualifies for world championship ironman 70.3

first of all, thank you for the package and the tattoos! i just wanted you guys to know i qualified for the world championship ironman 70.3 in clearwater, fl being held in nov!! i qualified this past sunday at lak stevens! i actually got asked by a few athletes where I got my nuun tattoos!! nuun is good stuff!!! Truly is....thank you!

great tasting 3 hours into a run and looking forward to the 6 hour ones

i tried nuun out for the 1st time today. i really liked the taste and after using it on my 3.5hr run, i came to like it even more and more. the taste didn't bother me like other drinks such as gatorade, heed, etc. typically i get so sick of those drinks after a few hours. but nuun worked out quite well. i still want to try a few of the other flavors as well as try them on longer runs (4-6hrs). i'm curious to see if my stomach will tolerate it like it did today. so far so good! i'll definitely begin supporting it with my ultra friends as well as triathletes that come into our shop!

best secret weapon

nuun is the quintessential hydration product for endurance athletes. once the hot weather rolls around, i include nuun before, during, and after each workout. the difference in energy level, performance, and recovery is significant. nuun is a perfect healthy substitute for sodas and soft drinks... i pop a kona cola in an ice cold glass of water instead of grabbing a sugar-filled pop! my office, bike, closet, pantry, and refrigerator all have hidden bottles of nuun tucked away- it's one of my best secret weapons!

tried, true, and sold!

i have tried it and i like it. you have sold me!

no more water!

recently found your product reviewed in a cycling magazine, and just had to try it. now i would never go back to only water for my hydration needs. i will be using it for training and for all of my rides, so please make plenty. i especially like that little fizz you added!

60 miles roundtrip for nuun, talk about commitment

wow! that's customer service...something i am not used to. thank you so much for expediting that order to me. i do not know what i would do without your product on my 500 mile ride. since i was unsure that you would get my message because of the holiday, i drove 30 miles (to another state!) to a shop that sells nuun just to ensure i had what i needed for my trip.

excellent product with impressive performance

i am the sales and product expert for REI tukwila and i received your very generous gift of nuun products to demo with my staff last week. i am always up for trying an electrolyte mix and i was highly impressed with its performance. i REALLY appreciate the "no sugar" aspect and the flavors were wonderful and not too “sicky” sweet. i climbed 3 peaks this past week training for some larger mountains and used nuun every time. i will be passing these out to my staff tomorrow with some first hand experience. thank you for letting us demo them! you have an excellent product for the REI customer.

nuun is a no brainer

i recently tried your nuun product and was blown away. i absolutely love everything about this product: it’s simple to use, light weight, tastes great, and more importantly it works.

never without nuun

thanks for a great product, i would never ride without it!

the best security blanket ever

the locos grill and pub cycling team relationship with nuun started as with any other nutritional sponsorship but the guys on the team now regard their nuun tubes like a security blanket and are rarely if ever without them. you guys have truly created a terrific product; it simply makes a noticeable difference. thanks for the support and we will definitely keep you in the loop as we head to national championships and tour de toona.

a healthier alternative sports drink-try it!

**NOTE-we're quite fond of about.com and were a bit estastic to find this lovely article about nuun from jesslyn. click here to read more here **

maybe i should ask "have you heard of them?" i've tried a lot of hydration helpers: gatorade, powerade, refresh, accelerade, trek, but none of them can beat nuun tabs for me. why? because nuun has no sugar, no calories, no unnecessary ingredients. it tastes good (once you get used to it anyway), costs less (when you look at it per serving), and packs light. basically, nuun is the healthy version of sports drinks. and they've just gotten better: a new flavor, kona cola, has been introduced. beware! your first sip may surprise you if you expect a refreshing soda flavor. everyone i know who has tried it has said that at first it tasted a little medicine-y but that after a few sips they got used to it and most even liked it. personally, i think it's great! i have a cola substitute when i want a soda with my after-run meal. and it's not SO fantastic that i want to drink it all the time. perfect! my suggestion is that if you are a sports drink fan looking for a healthier alternative, try nuun. if you can't quit the sodas, try nuun.

scoring in more ways than one!

got the stuff today! hurray! went 3-for-4 at the plate in softball tonight and attribute all my base hits to nuun hydration. just broke 4 tablets to fit into bottled water bottles (good idea "scoring" them for easy breaking) for an adirdondack peaks climb tomorrow. trust nuun will get me to the top of 4,600+ feet mt. dix. thanks for your help (and coolness).

spread the nuun love

i love nuun, can't find anything that even compares to it and so i am wondering why no one in my town carries it in their store? I live in cs and i think this is a market that would really use your wonderful product. just thought i'd let you know. i'll keep spreading the word as i run. *NOTE from team nuun- we're quite busy in trying to spread the nuun love and unfortunately may not be in some shops that are most convenient to some of our customers...though we are trying. if you can get your favourite local shop to carry nuun, we'll send you a nice little gift as a thank you!

nuun helps through a long day and many more to come...

i have for the past year been using nuun to get me through training and racing. however, only recently have i discovered how great it actually is. i won my first big race of the year a few weeks back (one o one, in bradenton, florida) i consumed 6 tablets of nuun throughout the race, and i felt amazing almost the whole way (i think i'd be superwoman if i didn't admit to feeling wasted towards the last stages of the run). nuun enabled me to keep my hydration up while replacing all the minerals that my body was using during the race. thanks nuun for getting me through a long day..........and many more to come.

nuun user for 3 years and still going strong

i first learned about nuun at the ’04 ironman coeur d’alene. just before the start of the race i noticed this guy drop these “unusual” little tablets into his water bottles. i asked him what they were all about and he told me a little bit about nuun and how convenient and effective they were. i purchased a tube shortly thereafter and have been hooked ever since!

placed first in age group and now qualified for USAT nationals after two weeks of using nuun

i just purchased my first bottles two weeks ago and have been using nuun now for those two weeks. this morning, i won my age group (35-39) at a local triathlon, which qualified me for the USAT nationals in portland, this june. thank you so much for your product!

take a chance and nuun is great!

i tried nuun just from seeing your website link on mind over mountain adventure racing. i was training for the momar race so i thought i’d take a chance and try your product. i am so glad i did – its fantastic – no upset stomach and not to sweet. i've introduced it to my trail running friends and now they’re hooked on it to. i can’t wait to try the different flavours available. we recently competed in the squamish momar and our team used nuun and we had a great race with no cramping. nuun is great!!!

life saver

i want to let you know that it was over 80 degrees at whistler which felt like 100 under my chest protector....i brought my nuun and it saved my life on both days.

nuun is the bomb

the stuff is the bomb! i have been using it ever since matt turned me on to it when i was at the HURT 100 last january. it has the perfect carbonation and is very effective. glad you are on the montrail team, nuun is a great addition. thanks again for everything!

first introductions to nuun are fantastic

i just participated in the san diego marathon and met some of your team at the expo. i sampled your sport drink and it was fantastic. i also had heard great things about it from my local running store, runnergy, in sherman oaks, ca.

best thing to be addicted to

first off i LOVE nuun!!!! i am part of orange county trail runners and our whole group of ultra running maniacs are addicted to your stuff!! ADDICTED! it is the best stuff out there.

dont change a thing!

howdy all. hey, just a quick note to let you all know that i love your product. i run for montrail as one of their ultrarunners. i have always had problems with my kidneys during 100 milers and since i have tried your tablets---so far so good during training runs. i have not yet run a 100 miler since you all came out but i am going to run hardrock in july and your tabs will be with me. i love the fizzy taste so just don't change a thing. can hardly wait to try the caffiene ones!!

increased endurance, decreased pr times for competitive rower

i am a senior in high school and a competitive varsity rower. i used to be tired all the time with academics, crew, college applications, and of course, maintaining my mental sanity. after i started taking nuun daily and drinking a much more abundant amounts of water, the change was unbelievable. my endurance is much longer, i have more energy, and my PR times have dropped significantly. this is an amazing product. thank you!

best way to stay hydrated on long workouts

nuun provides me with the absolute best way to stay hydrated during my long workouts. it's fizzy flavor is just what i need to keep drinking! the tablets are so convenient that i can take them absolutely anywhere... the pool, long bike rides, or out on the trails.

nuun helps on a ride of a lifetime

** note from nuun: keith and three other friends are biking 2700+ miles from alberta to the us/mexico border in 70 days. we're very fortunate to get such kind words from keith and a mention on their blog. we were super excited that we've put the content here but to read more and check up these crazy folks -click here **

recently, while riding up at the kingdom trails in vermont, i tried a new electrolyte replacement tablet that i really liked. its a new product called nuun (pronounced noon) and i felt it really helped prevent me from cramping up on a 6+ hour ride. i raced up every hill we encountered (i cannot say nuun directly helped with that) and felt no cramping or fatigue (nuun definitely had a hand in that!). so far i have tried the lemon lime and tri-berry flavors and have enjoyed them both. all i do is fill up my bottle with water, pop one in and BAM its all mixed and ready to drink in a couple of minutes. i have a few friends that use it hiking and enjoy the sensation of not being sore when they get back to the car. the best part is, there is no sugar so you don't get that bell curve rush of energy and it doesn't pollute your camelbak. thank to Jack and tim at nuun for helping us on our quest to stay hydrated on the 2700 mile journey!

first tri with nuun and all goes well

hi, wanted to write and let you know i just did florida 70.3 and used nuun for the first time in a race. i am happy to say that things went real well! it was the first race ever (half iron distance) that i did not have any cramping or stomach problems and it was nice and hot out too!! nuun was real nice and easy on my stomach and tasted good too. iam looking forward to using nuun in my upcoming races which include another half ironman and ironman wisconsin! glad i found your product! it was recommended to me by a sales rep at mission bay multisport in IL. thanks again for a great product!

refreshing, delish', and no cramps!

i love the nuun tablets-i used it on the momar adventure race in squamish-it was very warm that day and i had no cramping- the only drink i have tasted that is refreshing, delicious, and does not bother my stomach!

lightweight for long rides

i used your product for the first time at the tour de cure bicycle ride here in the northwest. i tried several of the flavors and liked all of them. having lightweight tablets to stash in my bag is great for long rides when hydration isn’t always satisfied with water alone.

with love from nuun

all i can say is WOW! i certainly did not expect your 'love kit'...still shocked & amazed..that's the most caring and detailed customer service i've ever received anywhere...and the hand written note...i'd say your customer care was above and beyond any expectations i had... i wish i lived in seattle...nuun is a company i'd love to work for!

pop, fizz, ohh, ahh.

i had seen the nuun sponsorships at some events (and even received a free tube at the sun devil criterium), but one of the dads that rides with us showed up with some nuun one morning and said a triathlete friend of his recommended it. he popped it in his bottle, it fizzed, we all went "Oooooh!", and we've been using it ever since.

great stuff. nuff said.

this stuff is great!! i do a lot of biking and running and nuun has really helped during and after. thank you

hiking for 13.5 hours and feeling fabulous!

i tried nuun on a century ride and really liked it. over the next few weeks i drank nuun on every bike ride from our nightly rides of 20 miles to a couple of 60+ mile rides. on may 17th, i hiked rim to rim in the grand canyon in 13 1/2 hours. i used nuun (citrus flavor) in my hydration pack and in my water bottles. it was so easy to carry in my pack. everytime there was drinkable water, i just refilled and added a couple of tablets. from phantom ranch to cottonwood camp - about 8 miles - it was about 105 degrees. i drank about 140 ounces of nuun. others in my group felt the effects of dehydration but i felt great the whole time. thanks for a great product. i plan to continue to use it biking, hiking, running and during triathlons. btw - the best thing about nuun is no more "science experiments" growing in my water bottle!

diggin' the tri-berry

nuun-ites...wanted to let you know that i truly digg your products. i think the berry flav is currently the bomb out here as most that have tried it seem to love it. i found out about you folks via the race athlete website as well as the pod-casters (simply stu, zen and the art of triathlon, etc.) advertising your product. they have all been correct about it thus far, i do pass it along to all of my friends that will tolerate my blathering about all of my nifty triathlon stuff. much thanks

nuun+100 miles+4,812 ft elevation gain= tour de cure craziness

the tour de cure is a series of bike rides, ranging from 20 miles to the full 100-mile century ride, and takes place around the country as a nationwide day of riding to raise money for the american diabetes association. it was 5:30 in the morning and the rain was coming down pretty hard. when i finally did drag myself out of bed, the rain was still coming down but at least i was a bit more rested. the century ride i was registered for started at 7:00 -- which i wasn't going to make -- but i figured i would just show up and ride the route on my own as a solo time trial. there were five aid stations out on the course, three of which i visited, and i must say that the volunteers and support on the ride were top-notch. plenty of good fruit, energy bars, bagels, and water and nuun. i've been using the nuun electrolyte tablets (dissolved in water for a subtle-tasting sugar-free drink) and love them. and it's good to support a local company. i was thrilled to see them out on the course, and even more excited at the rest stop at mile 80 to see that Nuun has recently introduced a new caffeinated cola flavor. believe it or not, but "flat coke" is one the long-time secrets of endurance athletes. you don't want the carbonation so you have to leave it sitting out for a while, but the sugar and caffeine make for a great pick-me-up in the late stages of a race. and now nuun has the flavor available too -- and it tasted great! very cool. i was pretty fried by the end of the ride and the last few miles of the ride were indeed painful, but i finished in 5:38 for an average of 17.6mph over the 99.4 mile course. also ended up with 4,812 feet of elevation gain too, which is a fair amount for a century ride.

headache be gone!

** NOTE - we're very lucky to get such kind words from dimity and a mention in her blog...we were so chuffed we've put the content here but to read more - click here **

After my two-Nalgene-bottle a day experiment last week, I was definitely hydrated. My body was functioning like a hose: water in, water out. I was psyched to thrive on my 80-minute run. (And, just as importantly, after it, since, among other things on this Saturday, I had swimming lessons to go to, flowers to plant and a bathroom to clean). I ran well, came home, ready to get on with my day. And then I felt another please-no-please-no headache coming on again. I couldn't believe it: my urine had been basically clear for five days. What else could I do?

Fortunately, somebody is smarter than I am about training: my coach, Ivana Bisaro of Carmi
