Game isotonic powder

[Jva]

I use Game from time to time, find it too sweet so dilute it quite a bit. With cold water.

I use it for shorter workouts where I just want to add a little vooma (not the USN kind) to my bottle rather than just drinking plain water all the time. Mostly I like the price.

 

I found tins at dischem.

Yep also use it. Buy the tins at my local Spar

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?

 

 

how many of these symptoms did you have:

Symptoms for fructose malabsorption include:

• nausea.
• bloating.
• gas.
• abdominal pain.
• diarrhea.
• vomiting.
• chronic fatigue.
• malabsorption of certain nutrients, such as iron.

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. 

I'm still a Game fan - one sachet for two 750ml bottles. (Or, if you can find the tins, two scoops per bottle).

R78 for 720g tin

Yeah I saw that but thread revived so worthwhile asking if the switch has resulted in similar symptoms in others?

I had a similar issue a few years ago at W2W.

Maybe I'm just a hobo but I buy Powerade concentrate because I can make the most litres per Rand. About R5.70 a liter vs R8 a litre for Game

 

Am I missing something?

I also do my shorter training rides on powerade but does it have the same "stuff" in it as game? I have no idea. Wonder what the difference is between the 2.

Also use Game - too sweet, so dilute approx 1/2 packet to 750ml water.  Sometimes make it stronger on a longer ride if I know I'll fill up with water en route.

I need some sort of Top Trumps side by side comparison

No, you have all the sugar water you need.

Why even bother, just ride pan aqua.
