Motor
Tabs Review
For
a new Triathlete, there is so much to learn and try to understand. Nutrition
and Hydration is just one small part of triathlon but it plays a huge role in
your success as a triathlete. Training in the summer heat can cause lots of
issues for a triathlete. The main concern for me is hydration, earlier in the
summer, I started to face this mean beast known as muscle cramps. At about
the 1 ½ - 2 hour mark in a hard paced
bike ride or a run I would start having muscle cramps. I started to do some
research about muscle cramps and athletes and quickly understood that I needed
to replace sodium levels that I lost while I trained. I started to use electrolyte
products and they seemed to do the trick however it was just one more thing
that I had to carry with me and worry about. I already carried Gels and or
protein bars to add calories that I burned while training. I constantly had to remind myself to take the electrolyte
products, and most of the time I would forget, once a cramp starts there is
little to no hope in getting it to go away. The key is preventing the muscle cramp
before it starts.
I
was very fortunate to find a product known as Motor Tabs,
MOTOR
TABS Fluid Replacement System – a revolutionary effervescent electrolyte +
energy tablet - turns ordinary water into a smooth, refreshing sports drink.
Designed for use any time around your participatory athletic activity (before,
during and after), MOTOR TABS is a portable sports drink that can go anywhere,
as the individual tablets are wrapped in water/air tight foil packages that
protect them from sweat, dirt and other harmful elements. OneTri is one of the
premier retailers for the Motor Tabs Fluid Replacement System, 24 Count.
Features:
- Portability. A box of
24 tablets weighs only 19 ounces! Compare that to 26 lbs for 24 liquid
sports drinks!
- Optimum ratio of
sodium, potassium, and carbohydrates
- Air/Water tight
packaging protects MOTOR TABS from the elements
- Leaves no residue when
dissolved, so it is great for use in hydration systems
- Four great flavors to
choose from. Lemon-Lime, Orange, Fruit Punch and Grape
Sports
drinks have been around for many years. There are several good choices out
there today, both in the ready-to-drink (RTD) and powder formats. Both delivery
systems are good, but we created MOTOR TABS™ to bridge the gap between RTDs,
powder and water!
MOTOR
TABS relies on an optimal ratio of sodium/potassium and a unique blend of three
energy sources (dextrose, sucrose, maltodextrin), providing a well-balanced
array of ingredients. MOTOR TABS restores your body’s electrolyte balance and
provides a solid energy profile to help you stay hydrated and maintain peak
performance throughout your training, racing or exercise sessions.
Each
tablet delivers 250 mg of sodium, 75 mg of potassium 16 grams of carbohydrate
and 65 calories. You can decide how many tablets you need per bottle based on
your individual fluid requirements. Most athletes prefer one, one-and-a-half or
two TABS per bottle. Four flavors are available: Fruit Punch, Lemon-Lime,
Orange, and Grape.
Once
the tablets dissolves there is no sediment or residual settling that is common
with other sports drinks, as dissolution is thorough and complete. Cleaning
your bottles and reservoirs is quick and easy as well.
Today
I was able to test out Motor Tabs and I am very pleased with the product, it truly
works and the best part for me is that I do not have to remember to take the
product. With it added to my water I just hydrate as normal on the bike or the
run and I don’t have to worry about carrying something else around with me.
There
are lots of factors that make motor tabs a great product for endurance
athletes. There is no sticky residue, and cleaning your water bottle is a
snap. It is super easy to use and carry,
just drop the tab into your water bottle and it dissolves and you are ready to
go.
Motor
Tabs is a vital tool that every endurance athlete should give a try!
