Enlyten

Enlyten Electrolytes Plus are edible strips that provide a convenient way to get the extra sodium you may need in your sports nutrition hydration plan.

Who would use the strips?
First, remember that to stay hydrated you need fluid, carbohydrate and electrolytes. These strips are not a replacement for the carbohydrate and fluids you need to stay hydrated. However, if you choose not to use a sports drink and stick to water, you will be missing both carbs and electrolytes. A GU can give you the carbs, but possibly not enough electrolytes. That is where the strips come in handy. You can use a few strips on the run or ride.

The strips are also useful for anyone that experiences cramping during training or performance. The strips can boost your intake of the extra electrolytes needed.

How many strips do you need?
That is up to you and what you are trying to accomplish (boost your sodium in addition to a sports drink or with no sports drink). Six strips provide 70 mg sodium compared to 110 mg in 8 ounces of Gatorade.

What about the cost and how do I order the strips?
The cost is similar to buying your gels. You will only need them on long runs or rides, similar to gels. It also depends on how many strips you use per training session. You can order the strips at the following link. Be sure to use the Promo Code EVERYDAY to get a break on the price.
