I keep hearing about it and was wondering what all the hype was about? I've read some stuff about it, such as it being better to take to the gym than water/sports drink, but its all conflicting and just wondering what people's opinions about it are?

Merci! :happy:

    Yeah It's meant to be good stuff, I think it has electrolytes in so it's a good sports/recovery drink!

    I use it after Bikram yoga when you sweat a lot. Makes me feel better instantly and tastes less offensive than sports drinks.

    I've had a cold for the last week and i've been drinking it at night (I was getting dehydrated) and it made a difference, I didn't wake up as thirsty. I drink it after workouts too and it's good mixed in a smoothie :)

    Not anything special.

    Coconut oil is good for the MCT content, which is good for dieting and general energy.

    I love it! It has a good amount of potassium and helps with dehydration and soreness. To me, it's more like a fruit than a sports drink...

    I hear great things about it but I can't stand the taste of it. My body must know it's good for me.

    Just been back from the gym via the supermarket and picked up a little can of the water and a jar of the oil. Looking forward to using it! :happy:

    I don't like it. I'll finish it, but may not buy it again.
