"Perfect for your training regimen, pre-race loading, maintaining in-race hydration and post-race rehydration. The Right Stuff is flavored with all Natural flavors, each with a light, pleasant, sweet/salty taste.

For decades, when astronauts returned from space travel, they suffered from severe symptoms associated with dehydration. To address this challenge, NASA put their team of scientists on solving their dehydration symptoms. Following many years of testing with athletes and astronaut usage, this product is finally available to the public!"

I wonder if Tom Wolfe gets a share of the sales from 'The Right Stuff'

So it all comes down to whether a NASA-patented sodium formula is more effective as a sports drinks than the calorie-free sodium/potassium/magnesium options out there. Given that the maker showed no scientific support for THAT comparison, as opposed to the anti-carb comparison (BTW - if you get carbs from another source as they suggest it sounds like you would have the same negative comparison, at least), I'm guessing this is fancy salt water best for pure fluid retention.
