I was looking for the same thing this morning, so far only found it on Gatorade's website in the store section & trisports.com. I think they were both the same price.

Was doing some reading on it, & it seems there was quite a bit of research done before they came out with this product.

I just add about 5-6 grams of protein powder to regular Gatorade. You get the Accelerade patented 4:1 carb to protein ratio and it tastes a bit like a creamsicle [if you orange flavour]. It is cheap [cheaper than Accelerade by a long shot] and a family favorite.

"Endurance" also has calcium lactate and magnesium oxide.

I don't think the ordinary Gatorade powder has that

I got some from a soccer mom whose kids didn't like it.... since it was free I thought what the heck I'll branch out from water ... don't know where she got it but she's not a big town girl so it has to be a standard place. I have tried regular Gatorade before and it didn't stick with me... However....
I for some reason really liked it... can't put my finger on it... also used one bottle for just plain water but on my hot rides here in TX (105-110 heat index today) there was something about it vs. plain ol' Gatorade that my body almost seemed to desire after a hard ride or when I really felt low on fluids.

For me, cytomax is much better. Doesn't give me the "cotton mouth" that gatoride products do.

where do you guys get Cytomax? Health food shops, supermarkets, or bike shops
