I've lifted my whole life on and off, and being sore is the worst because I'm too dumb to know when to quit. Now I'm older, calling in sick because I did too many squats just isn't appealing. So, after some research prior to starting P90X, I bought this hoping it would deliver.CAVEAT: I've not too much confidence in (and typically don't buy) weightlifting-specific products. I take vitamins and such, but not the "SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FASTEST FAT BURNER ON THE MARKET - GUARANTEED!!!" type garbage. Also, I typically don't enjoy the taste of most supplements; protein bars and shakes just don't appeal. My point is: buying Endurox really was a stretch and I was pretty skeptical.Two key factors:1) I was not nearly as sore as I should have been for the amount of exercise completedThe lack of soreness is phenomenal: after decades of being in/out of the gym, I would have never expected any product could prevent so much pain. I still experience light soreness two-days later, but not nearly what I've been through previously. Everyone has differing physiology, but the overwhelming amount of positive responses are what brought me to buy, and I'm happy to have the same experience. If I'd had only had this product twenty years ago!2) It really doesn't taste bad at allTaste is subjective, but for my taste, if I go half-power the flavor is disgusting. Too much and it's grainy. I use just slightly less than two scoops (the directions call for two scoops) because even when you shake like hell there is usually some un-mixed powder left behind. The taste is good enough that I actually look forward to the end of a P90X session and use the drink as motivation to get up early and work out. The amount of sugar is scary though for only 12oz of water: diabetics may want to take note.Bottom line: the price is steep but worth it to me just for the pain avoidance. Factor in the flavor (Orange) and I'm all smiles.

Along with Accelerade, this has changed everything for me. I first encountered Accelerade about 15 years ago, while training for a marathon. No matter what I ate pre and post run, the long weekend runs were killing me. I would be wiped out for days afterwards. I read an article in Runner's World about the seeming magic of the 4:1 carb to protein ratio and figured it could not hurt to try. I found a few bottles at a local vitamin store and sipped some Accelerade before, during and after. I did not love the fruit punch pre bottled taste, but I was blown away by the fact that not only did I side-step the exhaustion factor completely that time, I felt less fatigued than a short run would normally leave me. I was sold. Now I never do any activity without some orange Accelerade (the powder mix, which tastes great).Then I saw Endurox and was intrigued. As I was adding more heavy weight training to my routine, I wanted to see how this compared. I ignored the advice not to sip Endurox before or during, as it is a bit heavier, and it made me a little queasy where Accelerade does not. But when I drank some immediately after lifting, I felt zero soreness over the next couple of days and I had really trained hard.Now my general flow is to sip Accelerade before, during and after cardio (and yes, even intense yoga like Kest, Ashtanga or Bikram). After longer sessions or weight training, I drink Endurox.I also find that carrying a nice frosty homemade bottle of Accelerade with me during intensely hot summer days and sipping throughout makes it so I barely notice the heat and despite sweating like a Teamster (no offense guys) I never feel wiped out by a putrid 100+ degree day. Life hack. Pretty sure if all heck breaks loose here around election time, I could live on this stuff for a while. Is it too late to buy stock in this company?Buy it, try it, believe it, bub.

This stuff works! I run an average of 50 miles per week and though I don't always take it (I take it mostly after long runs lasting 2 hours or more) but when I do my energy feels replenished (I don't feel worn out) and the next day it's like I didn't run the previous day, it's made my recovery runs much easier. I'm 5'7" 175lbs, train a solid 6 days a week getting 45-70 miles @ 9:30 to 7:30 pace

I purchased this to help me recover after long runs and it really works great! However, after 2 Sundays of all day upset stomach, I read the ingredients more carefully - whey protein. I am lactose intolerant so this was the cause of my sick stomach. Once I realized this, I was able to take a lactaid pill prior to drinking Endurox and didn't have any trouble. This is really worth the money if you do long runs or other types of training. You completely avoid crashing afterwards!
