taste better, probably, but i'm a big guy and if i actually follow the recommended dosage that Hammer suggests than i'd have to swallow 5 capsules an hour. thanks, but i'll pass on that, that's just way too much to worry about when i should be worrying about more important things like the moron in front of me making a right turn from the left lane while he's texting...
me personally, i usually just mix 3 or 4 scoops of their Edurolytes powder and 2 scoops of GENR8 powder for each bottle. i don't even notice the me saltiness of the Edurolytes, cause 2 scoops of the GENR8 is 160cc's of powder, which is a lot of powder and adds a pretty strong flavor that's hard to overpower. i also bring 6oz. plastic bottles with me filled with the powder mix, depending on how many hours i plan on being out on the road, for when i have to refill my bottles...
