    Anyone know if something’s going on? Whenever I go on there, loads of stuff is out of stock…

    Is it just that they’re really busy with lockdown?

    I wondered the same, went on to make an order 3 weeks ago and ended up not bothering.

    I was on there today and ordered 1.6kg tubs of Go electrolyte and Go energy.

    Flavour choices were a bit limited though.

    Also got a few gels and an energy bake thrown in for free.

    I’d gone to order some of the Turbo+ powder (minty blueberry is less disgusting than you might imagine) but no joy. And half the electrolyte that was out of stock last time I ordered is still out of stock.

    I have a little insight as I take part as part of some internal surveys, in that I believe they are redesigning things a little, I suspect you’ll see some branding changes on the new stock soon.

    I think it tastes like Cherry Tunes.

    The matching gels are utterly, utterly foul though.

    On a tangent, anyone know who makes their bottles? Are they badged up branded bottles, or OEM?

    They’re still doing there bit on the cycling podcast. With regular appearances from the bro prof himself.

    Ugh, why don’t you lot buy plain maltodextrin from Bulk Powders, and put squash in it? Vastly cheaper and tastes vastly better.

    The go electrolyte tub looks great value compared to the hydro tabs.

    Careful, they are different things.  The latter has no carbs.

    So what’s the difference Kryton?
    Both are in the hydration section.
    I usually use tabs and that keeps the cramp at bay.

    Go electrolyte is a carb based energy drink with added electrolytes to support hydration.   It has 36g carbs per serving to support your energy levels during exercise.

    The Hydro tabs are all electrolytes.  There is little to no carbs aka energy in them at all, you are just adding electrolytes to water to help hydration.  Don’t rely on these to support energy during exercise.

    It’s all written for each product when you select it, especially the Nutrition label section.

    Thanks good to know 👍
    Will order some of the go electrolyte for a change.

    You can get 30% off on some stuff (Turbo) with BACK30

    I’m going to give the Go Electrolyte a whirl for out on the bike; normally use Hydro but then come in starving…
