I'm going to have to go with the Sustain Sport today.
I absolutely love this Melaleuca product. It replaces Gatorade in the stores, but it is so much better. Sustain Sport comes in 3 flavors right now. My favorite is the orange, Samantha likes the Mixed Berry and Mom likes to mix the Lemon and the Mixed Berry, which I agree is wonderful.
What makes Sustain Sport better than Gatorade or other sports drinks. First off is the calories. 30 calories for a 16 oz. drink. The second reason are the electrolytes that Sustain Sport replaces.
Gatorade can have as many as 120 calories a serving, even though now, I've seen in the stores that they are making a lower calorie version, but I'll stick with mine.
When you work out, whether in the gym, in your house or outside, your body loses water, electrolytes and energy and than can raise your body temperature, cause headaches, tiredness and poor concentration. Sustain Sport replaces Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium so it helps you rehydrate your cells, maximize muscle performance, minimize muscle tissue breakdown and it helps convert carbs to energy.
Store brands use simple sugars such as dextrose and corn syrup to sweeten their drinks which can lead to blood sugar spikes and unsustained energy. Plus too much simple sugar can draw water into the intestines and away from other parts of your body, leaving you dehydrated.
Sustain Sport does what it says, it sustains your energy during exercise. It has an exclusive formula of fructose and ribose, so it ensures proper rehydration, and gives you a steady energy source.
Sustain Sport also contains vitamins. Natural vitamin E, vitamin C, and 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin B12 for even more energy.
Today I went on a 4.9 mile bike ride/walk up hill and push bike. LOL It was 80 degrees out today and I drank two Sustain Sports, one during and one after. I will tell you that I have been a heat casualty more times than I care to remember. I wish I had Sustain Sport to put in my canteens when I was in the Army, it sure would have made those road marches a whole lot easier.
One other great thing about the Sustain Sports, they meet the guidelines set by the NCAA for use by its athletes.
So if you know someone who is working out on a regular basis, or even someone who just needs to rehydrate after working in the yard, or going for a walk, let me know. Melaleuca has this and some 300 other products that are great for you and for the environment. Go visit my website at
