I have tried CeraSport from a friend in the military. It tasted so bad I looked it up online to make sure it wasn’t toxic. Upon further research, I realized that it is just crap, overpriced sugar water with some salt in it, after looking at the prices on their website, these people are probably making a killing, I’m in the wrong business.

Much cheaper alternatives out there and I PROMISE your body will never notice the difference.

Charlene,

Thanks for the clarification on both of these products. This is very relevant to our industry, because getting diarrhea is pretty common place in war zones. So is dehydration from just suffering out in the hot sun of Afghanistan or Iraq. Companies should be paying attention to this as well, because heat related injuries can totally hinder operations out there, and even take away from the main job of protecting the customer. You would be well served to invest in these kinds of products and ship them out to your contractors and medics out there. That is taking care of your people. -matt

Re your comments on CeraSport/CeraLyte - these are SO different!
CeraSport is made for sweat loss and improvements now have it tasting great! There is a new CeraSportEX1 which has more salts but less of the rice which is what makes CeraSport WORK so much better than other hydration drinks.
CeraLyte, on the other hand, is for diarrhea and major dehydration, and has 4 or 5x the salts as CeraSport or Gatorade. It is to drink instead of getting an IV when people are really sick and is a medicine-type product rather than a sports drink.
If someone is sweating, then drink CeraSport; use CeraLyte for stomach illnesses (diarrhea) and vomiting. Charlene
