Hearts* Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Good day gents, I ran out of my usual Octane Version 4 last week. I wanted to replace it, but the store had no stock. I thus went with the Game packets as I did not want to buy other brands.After I started sipping the game on my Saturday ride my stomach immediately started rumbling and it felt unsettled, but I could still nip it...My eating wasn't to great Saturday after a 3:30 hour ride either. The Sunday afternoon I had diarhea the whole day and took Reuteri and it worked out it seems. I took off yesterday to be safe, but feel a bit weak today. My question could it be the game that caused this?
davetapson Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Seems a bit unlikely. Game is used by all and sundry without ill-effects. I use when I'm out of 'better' stuff, and sometimes wonder why I don't just use it all the time. I dilute it 1.5 to 1 tho as it seems a bit 'concentrated' for me.
rudi-h Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Nope its not the Game. I use Game for everything from week-day runs, IM and week-long bike tours. Works for me and a lot cheaper than anything else worthwhile on the market.
Hearts* Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 @Davetapson, I have to agree it is rather sweet ...
Kranswurm Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I dont drink fizzy drinks at home and find fruit juice acidic.Game is the ideal drink for home and on the bikeI buy it by the tub and mix 2L at a time.6 measures to 2 L water is not sweet at all
StevieL Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Drink Game all the time. No ill effects...The cherry one actually tastes really nice...
Kranswurm Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Drink Game all the time. No ill effects...The cherry one actually tastes really nice... Really!!must try itAlthough I tried the melon one a while ago and gave it away.Been sticking to Naartjie and Orange.At one stage the had a Blackcurrent which was vile
Weight Weenie Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Looked at the carb content of a serving the other day and it was really low IMO, like 12g. Do you guys eat stuff with the Game or use gels etc ?Doesn't seem like one would get sufficient energy from Game alone, unless you drink tons of it ?
Antoo Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 1x bottle Game juice and 1x bottle water, with a PVM bar does just fine on a 3hr ride..........oh, and mix to taste and you'll not find so sweet.Previously used USN / Biogen products, but no noticeable difference when started using Game - well that's besides the price.
Rydogg Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 The same thing happened to me the first time I used USN CytoPower. Since then, I've been fine. Try the game again and see...
Stretch Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 not the game. I bought a couple of sachets while i was down in the cape and without my normal gummi bear juice. Was quite surprised at its effectiveness. I diluted 1/2 a sachet per 750ml of water and it wasnt too sweet
Rain Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I drink Game if I have to, because I find that it's quite bitter. Maybe I should switch to a different flavour. But I haven't had any problems when drinking it.
Warrenlee Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I hate to wake up an old topic and being 6 years later, who of you still use Game? I tried it few days ago for a ride and found it rather pleasant. kunjani 1
Albatross Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I still use it on longer rides, but I can't find the tins anymore, only comes in satchets Sashays little packets which pushes the price up considerably Velouria and Warrenlee 2
shaper Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 Yep still use it and usually buy at checkers
