Good stuff, but you need to take another energy drink with it, the Caffeine dehidrates you, but the source of fuel is very good.

Interesting - I actually just stopped doing that. Used to carry HEED as well, but I'm finding it better to stick to just Perpetuem. I'm not finding the caffeine levels dehydrate me much yet as long as I sip plenty of plain water too. Maybe my body is so used to the ton of strong coffee it normally gets that this is hardly a blip.

I personally use Cytomax,largely because I like the taste.I have tried other brands over time but always go back to Cytomax.

I have used Cytomax since 1999 even when the Rand died against the dollar and the price of the 2kg tin went up to R700.

Enduren. Tastes faintly of sugar water. Price is good . Buy it through agents and some bike shops. I buy it in 2kg packets.

Testimonial work (doesn't need to be a Pro. If a bunch riders I know swear by a product, I will try it). Get some tester sizes made up and put them out at the bikes shops for us to take home and try.

Send me some. I will try it and if I like it I will put a blurb out on my Table Mountain Bikers website, Mailer , Facebook and Twitter.

Firstly: What testing if any has been done, In SA this industry is not regulated so they put any stuff in the tubs with some nice filler and then we all buy it because it will give u a six pack in weeks or make u strong like Burry.
I only buy stuff that has been approved by the FDA etc like Cytomax, Hammer etc
Also does it have the correct ratios's of Protein to carbs like for Peptopro.
