okay, to keep this thread alive here is an obnoxious comment:

Why 32GI, why not 16GI? Because then you can go for twice as long on half the carbs at half the speed as everyone else and save plenty bucks! Okay, so you won't win any frigging races but you will have the endurance of a pornstar on Viagra.

 

That's not obnoxious. It's probably the most intelligent question so far.

 

Now you've ruined the whole tone of this thread! :o

 

Hang on, your last comment saved you! :)

Feed taht route change thread 32gi, lets see how much staying power they have ;) Oh btw I have not entered the 94.7 this year. done it twice; once unfit and fastish, and the other time fitish and slow. Need a new high energy challenge, hence running ;)

 

Cannot see myself running around with a bottle of artificial sweetener. Will rather carry around R50 to buy a black ambulance when needed!

I thought I would add my 2 cents worth to some of the comments.

 

teh_runnah, not sure what happened to you at the Afriman BUT we got the win in the mens with Jason and 3rd place in the womens with Sam, totally fuelled by 32Gi, no miracles from any energy drinks, only lots of hard work. Its like taking a supplement if you dont eat correctly.

As for artificial sweetner, not a chance ;-), hey but thats our little secret, from a nutrition point a view we only advocate natural. We are launching our neutral flavour soon, no flavouring at all, you will see how naturally sweet it is, remember its a honey extract, its where the base sweetness stems from.

 

@Changing your diet for 32Gi????? Not a chance, I have never said that, I said change it regardless ;-).

You should be changing your diet without any energy drinks, or supplements, diet is not about sacrifice its about eating healthy and using the correct approach for training and racing. There are no quick fixes or miracle products out there it boils down to hard work and effort. Pre-race and during race nutrition, or training nutrition needs to be planned properly and stuck with.

My clients that ask me what supplements they should take in the form of multi-vitamins or shakes or meal replacements etc, I have one sentence for them, your body does not deserve them until you learn to eat properly. Meaning health first, nothing can replace a natural and wholesome meal. Supplements are exactly that, a "supplement" to a healthy diet.

Where are you from, I am sure we can get a tub to you or a nearby stockist. PM me.

 

I think this was too serious for this thread, better go back to my other one :lol:

Okay, sorry, I confused obnoxious with facetious. Must be this 16GI thing. It has halved my intellectual output, but at least I know I am going to be stupid for twice as long as normal ;)

noobie!

Real cyclists are not afraid of real sugar.... only wannabes drink wannabe sugar.

Bad pies are the preferred carb for mountain stage racers and solo 24 hour riders.

 

teh_runnah, you have saved this noob from certain disaster due to inexperience, thank you o great one!

Now where does one secure a clutch of these premium grade Bad Pies everyone keeps (ahem) gushing about??

Jason Spong is a class act, and he does well irrespective of (and before) 32Gi came onto the market. You are merely trying to associate your product with a class athlete who will perform even if you feed him GOOD pies!

MDW,

 

I would just like to assure you that I have no problem with the product you are endorsing. I think you are doing a great job in answering everyones questions. I would have slapped someone a long time ago because everyone keeps asking the same questions.

 

But, kudos to you and I hope you do really well. This thread is more to comment on the people commenting on your product not to actually comment on the product.

 

Have a good one

I think the popularity of the other threads was down to the intelligent feedback from the guy marketing the product.

 

I'm not sure how much mileage you will get out of "I have never actually used 32GI and have nothing to say about it" etc. Good luck though.

 

How's this for mileage? :)

Thanks Zaskar, well put and its what I have been saying all along its not the energy drink that makes or breaks a session, its everything in the basket that has an impact.

 

I was just digging at him for his unhappy Afriman ;-)

 

but something I think I do need to mention is, we dont go out and ask the athletes to endorse our product in order to use them to market it, and then pay them.

The athletes that use our product, like Jason actually tested it prior to launch, they used in training and racing conditions for many months, and the reason we are in the market is because more than 20 pro athletes from all different sports came back with really positive feedback. We tailored the drink according to their needs. In Jason's case, he uses 32Gi constantly, his race nutrition is perfect, he keeps sugar out of his diet he trains mainly on water and 32Gi, he races on 32Gi, and he uses a little more glucose in the kick to the finish. There are many athletes out their that endorse products but what are they really using in their bottles. We know of a few that use our product but are sponsored by other organisations, but thats the industry money seems to talk. This is something we are very strict about, you need to use and believe in a product if you are to endorse it. By the way, just for interest sakes, we actually made a Pineapple flavour for Jason because under extreme racing conditions its the flavour that gels well with him. We are not launching it yet into them market as the focus groups we used favoured the 4, and our neutral flavour is coming out shortly which you guys will really love.

 

Aside from that stay tuned for exciting new 32Gi products coming out shortly, the sachets and chews will be officially launched nationally hopefully end of this month and then some interesting stuff coming down the line after that, to cater for anyone across the board.

 

Our focus as always though is natural is best, the more natural and the more healthy a product we can put out, the happier we will be. Its a big responsibility putting something into someone elses body, if you think about it, in a way its a total invasion of privacy and requires a lot of trust. We need to ensure that what we put out there, is the best choice for a healthy lifestyle.

 

With that said, lets see if the thread grows a little more, have a great day all of you.

 

all the best

Meanwhile, there is a lawsuit against the makers:

Maybe someone needs to give the residents of the Cradle some 32GI, so that they can get beavers to lay tacks on the road to power balance the thread hi -jackers :unsure:
