Simon Berry, UK Ultra Running Champs, May 2009
“61 miles on Elete at weekend and not a single cramp - not even on the hideous STILES. Also had another UltraRunner using it who has been plagued by cramps all year so far - and he was doing really well on it.”

Paul Pickering, Editor, UK Adventure Sports Magazine April/May 2009
Very happy there's a product on the market that doesn't have an aftertaste or make you bloated! I've passed the sample bottles to the whole of my team and had positive feedback by all.

Dr Steve Epstein
Well, I'm a very skeptical and cynical chap, but I can now say that I have given elete a proper test in harsh conditions .Most of us on the Al Andalus Ultra Trail were using it as it was sponsored by them. I've never really got on with Nuun, didn't like the fizz, got cramps, didn't like flavours. Temps in the week were up to 40'C and I could drink up to 9 litres of fluid during a day's stage, including 2.5litres in about 90 mins Last time I used Nuun at a weekend adventure race (albeit at greater intensity of exercise)...

Thanks for the follow up. Yes, I virtually always wear the t-shirt when I train and have told a lot of people about the product as has my team mate. I spoke to them a while back and they said they maybe interested. As for the racing, I'm never without it. I love the stuff. I even use it for recovery and pre race / training. I feel refreshed, hydrated and clear minded when I use it. Before I would be riddled with cramp at the end of a race - and quite often mid race. Now I can honestly...

Thank you very much for sending me samples of your elite water, it has made a big difference to my performance in both Ice Hockey and Motor Cross as I don’t have to stop at all during an Ice Hockey game which means I have a huge advantage over other players as I’m not dehydrated, and when all the other riders in motor cross are growing tired and dehydrated while racing I’m still hydrated and ready to win!’ I have attached some images above of a recent expedition to Spain for motor cross I was using your products while I...

Laurence Bloom – Head of Sports Science at Charlton Athletic FC
I have been using Elete for about 6 months and have seen significant benefits of using it within our players. Since using Elete none of our players have experienced muscle cramps and players appear to maintain a better hydration status during high intensity training sessions and matches. Elete is a relatively cheap, although excellent product to ensure players are optimally hydrated pre, during and post high intensity training sessions. I would personally recommend this product to anyone who is serious about maximising their training and ensuring optimal performance on gameday

Dana Lis, Sports Dietitian at the Canadian Sports Centre for Olympic and National Athletes
As a sport dietitian I am continually researching new products and ways to help the athletes that I work with fuel optimally. Elete Electrolyte Add-In has been a great solution for many training and competition environments where hot climates make staying hydrated a challenge. In conjunction with proper hydration planning Elete has been very successful in eliminating cramping for many endurance athletes that I work with. At the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi we used Elete to boost up the electrolyte concentration of regular sports drinks which helped maintain hydration and rehydration in our athletes. In addition it has been...

Stewart Wild MSc, Human Performance Director, Formula Fitness
Motor sport is a punishing and demanding environment for the driver and team, especially in endurance racing. I have been using Elete Electrolyte Add-In (elete water) for the past two years with, I believe, great success. My position, as the Human Performance Director of Formula Fitness, the UK's No 1 company for training Racing Drivers, is to make sure that both the drivers and the team are fit for purpose in the Le Mans 24 hour race. Team personal work for up to 40 hours with no rest during the Worlds toughest race, keeping them hydrated and mentally alert...

Jennifer
I like to play really hard – ski patrol, hiking, biking, soccer. For years, every time I'd do a long activity, I would end up with a massive dehydration headache and basically sleep for the rest of the day. I drank tons of water and Gatorade®*, but it never helped. Almost every day that I patrolled, I would come home with the same headache. A friend gave me a sample of elete™, to try, and it was incredible. I use it in my hydration system every time I ski/hike/bike now, and since I've started, I have never gotten a headache! I...

Amy Costello - Beach Volleyball
I've always been told that all I would need was water to stay hydrated. I learned that lesson the hard way when I way playing beach volleyball and I was rushed to the hospital for what I later found out to be dehydration. From then on, I drank sports drinks to stay hydrated but I still wasn't able to take the heat very well. I was hospitalized a second time and this time the doctors told me I was near death. That scared me into finding a better solution and I came across Elete Electrolytes and it is literally a...

Steve Benedict
I am currently a track and field sprinter running the one hundred and two hundred meters, training for the next Olympic games. I have recently been incorporating elete into my daily training and have seen great results. Training six days a week on the hot track surface and pushing my body to the limit, hydration becomes an important factor. Taking elete has kept me hydrated as well as helped me be able to finish my workouts with the same energy that I started them with. As a focused and determined athlete, I recommend anyone at any level of training to incorporate elete into your workouts...

Justin Robbins - Ultimate Fighter
I can tell a big difference when I don’t use elete™. I can get easily dehydrated, and it’s hard to make weight. With elete™, it’s easy to make weight, and I’m not thirsty all the time. There’s no cramping, I stay hydrated. elete™ keeps me better hydrated. I don’t get as fatigued as much as when I don’t take it. I’m better mentally, too, which is a big part of this sport. I stay focused.

Eric Heiligenstein, Physician, University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI
In my practice, I treat many patients whose medications lower sodium as a side effect. This type of hyponatremia is very difficult to manage and can lead to dangerously low-sodium levels when [and] if they drink plain water. elete is a remarkable product that has almost single-handedly solved this problem. I can recommend its use and encourage my patients to return to a normal fluid intake (rather than restrict fluids to manage their low sodium level) and not have to worry about excessive caloric intake. Thanks so much for a wonderful product!!

When my heart doctor recommended elete Electrolyte Add-In following my recent surgery, I had no idea why. Even though my heart surgery was successful, I still suffer with some serious health problems as a result of having low blood pressure and a low heart rate. My doctor felt that I really needed a specialized supplement in order to try to balance my electrolytes. He only wanted me to try your product. I can honestly say that since using the elete Electrolyte Add-In for the past month I've been noticing a change in the way I feel. By boosting my electrolytes and keeping them more...

Nicole Ottaway
Hello, I wanted to let you know that I love your product. I have something called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Dysautonomia. I lost the ability to eat and drink safely, so I rely on a feeding tube and pump. One of the symptoms of my condition is chronic dehydration. I'm so glad to be able to use something that gives me extra hydration without any of the chemicals found in sports drinks. I make my own fluids concoction using your mix, which goes through my pump to my small intestine then into my blood-stream. It's like having an IV...

Andrew Johnson D.D.S. Paradise, Utah
Dear Sirs:In the spring of 2010 I was involved in a large propane explosion, which burned my face and arms. I was able to handle a lot of pain at first, but the trauma caused so much stress to my body that after three days my adrenals started shutting down and my electrolytes were getting way out of balance. I felt really lousy and depressed. I was at the time in the Burn ICU at the U of U. The care was excellent, but pharmaceuticals were the only offering for my condition and, for me, they made matters worse. I...

K. Waggoner Everett, WA
You may not realize this, but one of the challenges for patients with Cystic Fibrosis is salt loss due to its root defect: a problem with the sodium ion exchange in the mucous membranes. Our son (who is 8 now) struggled with horrible leg cramps for many years, especially when he would run and play, or simply sweat in the Arizona heat. Gatorade®* and bananas were OK, but at his size, he could not drink the amount necessary to keep his electrolyte levels up. That was before we found elete. Now, we can adjust the amount of electrolytes he receives based...

I am a 72 yr-old male with heart problems, diabetes and others. I had been experiencing severe leg muscle cramps when sleeping. Since I have been using your product I have great relief. Thank you.

Carol Dobrowolski
Thank you for getting your product sent out to me. I used it immediately and thank God when I went to bed that night no muscle spasms. Last night I worked long hours and my feet and legs were hurting. Usually I get excruciating spasms after a night like this and again your product came to the rescue not a single spasm. Will continue to use elete. Thanks again.

Stephen R. Thompson, M.D.
As I told you earlier, my wife’s discovery of elete was the most important addition to my training, and allowed me to complete my latest endeavour without medical assistance. I’ve always been an outdoor activist, and I’ve done several 24-hour mountain bike events. I do the Birkie yearly, and I ride several century events each year. Since high school I’ve had a tendency to cramp, especially in warm weather. I also sweat profusely. In this, my fiftieth year, I decided to compete in over 500 miles of running and biking events. In one such event, ‘The Horribly Hilly Hundred’, I had to...
