I use this product whenever I go out for longer than a couple of hours. I just put half a tablet in a bottle. It tastes great and works well. My favourite is the lemon-lime, but the tropical isn't bad. My only caution is not to use it exclusely over the course of a day. I find it dries the mouth a bit. Having straight water in one bottle and Nuun in the other works well if you cycle with 2 bottles like I do.

Bought some (lemon tea flavor) to bring along for a 135 mile training ride. I taste tested it before the trip and didn't like it but brought it anyway. Nuun was also a sponsor at the recent Seattle to Portland Bike Classic, so, again I tried it. I was hoping that they're waterNuun ratio, or maybe a different flavor, would have me thinking differently but, alas, no, I did not like the taste, which emulated plastic fruit, or the texture, which had a slight chalky feel. Too bad, the idea is great and the flavor options are enticing, but not actually tasty. Water is better and cheaper.

Great product not overly sweet. The Nuun has a great energy output. Good tase even on a hot day.

I return much better hydrated when using NUUN. It tastes great! Just enough flavor to make me want to drink more frequently and more total. There are some electrolytes and 6 calories per tablet, but you will want gels or other supplements for rides longer than a few hours.
I am no expert, i just read the label on the tube of Tri-Berry on my desk
NUUN does NOT contain salt, Sodium Chloride. The only sodium is a tiny small amount of Sodium Benzoate, a preservative, and Sodium Bicarbonate.

Not worth the money.
Review by MagicBike
I was skeptical about the claims of better hydration. But I have one of those fancy scales that measures body fat, % hydration, etc. Did the same rides on plain water and Nuun...My scale show I'm better hydrated post-ride using Nuun. The electrolytes really do increase fluid absorbtion.
As an added bonus the flavors are great and really easy on your stomach. I used to struggle drinking enough of the popular sports drinks toward the end of a hard century...not so with Nuun. I've dropped sports drinks and rely on Nuun to hydrate, solids & gels for calories. If you've not tried Nuun you are missing out!

not sticky, not sugary or syrup like, tastes good even if isn't cold, easier to use than salt pills, less expensive than any gatorade products

I really like the convenience of these little tubes. They are super easy to bring with you on a long ride so if you fill up your bottles, you can just drop another tab into it-a lot easier than the powder in the baggie method I was using before. On top of that the taste is great and goes down easy even on long hot rides, and it doesn't make the water any thicker or syrupy like some mixes do.
