"I've tried every sports drink out there. Nothing even comes close to XOOD. It absorbs quickly, tastes good and doesn't rip out my intestines. Most importantly, XOOD really boosts my endurance and keeps me going even during killer multi-day stage races and training periods."
Pam Reed – Triathlete and Ultramarathoner
Pam is a former Competitor Magazine "Runner of the Year." She is the current American record holder for the most miles run in a six-day marathon - 490 miles. Pam holds records in the 24-hour and 48-hour track runs and was the first person ever to run 300 miles without sleep.
"I was definitely not a believer. But after I bonked badly in a race, I decided to give XOOD a shot. To my surprise, it worked. Now my energy level is higher and I rarely crash. I've never found a product I would endorse before, but I think every athlete needs XOOD."
Lance “Gutti” Panigutti - Pro Triathlete
Lance has been competing at the highest level of triathlon for over 13 years and is currently a pro ITU athlete. He has raced internationally with the U.S. Junior National Team and the U/23 Duathlon National Team.

"Over the last 13 years I could name a laundry list of drinks that don't live up to the hype, but XOOD truly performs. Natural, consistent, and light. When I need a little kick for my 5 a.m. swim, or a product that won't bloat my stomach in the heat of the day, I count on XOOD."

Lyndsay Meyer – Multi-sport Athlete

In summer she focuses on mountain running and triathlon.
"I am a multi-sport athlete and desperately needed a sports drink that works in a variety of situations. I found I can use XOOD on the bike, throw it in my Camelback for mountaineering races, run with it and use it for recovery. The mild flavors and natural ingredients allow me to perform at my best without stomach upset or tiring of the taste!"
Brian Cornelius - Cyclist

The highlight of his season so far has been a 3rd place at the Glencoe Grand Prix in Illinois.
"XOOD is my endurance drink because it provides the right balance of electrolytes, carbohydrates, and protein, and does so without the artificial ingredients used by other endurance drinks on the market. When I drink XOOD, not only do I get the performance advantage, I know
I'll have many more years of cycling with exceptional overall health."
