Nutritional Information

So CCE is relying on quick acting sugars to fuel your muscles and replenish any lost Glucose. You have a good looking Electrolyte matrix included this should help prevent cramping and keep your body running optimally during long sweaty workouts or cardio sessions in particular. Caffeine is included but in a fairly gentle amount (less than half an espresso) but it is enough to give you a little pick me up.

Taste

I had the Lemon and Lime flavour and the taste is spot on, it’s really refreshing and doesn’t have a nasty aftertaste. It mixes really well, in fact I often mixed this up the night before and left it in the fridge and it was still fine to drink the next day.

Side Effects

None

Price

£24.99 for a tub with 30 servings in.

Results

CCE Hydroboost is an endurance product designed to keep you going throughout even the toughest training session. So the main things you are looking out for are keep you hydrated, high energy levels, no cramps, that feeling of determination and most of all the ability to finish the workout strong. CCE Hydroboost succeeds at all of them. It really is very good at keeping you going, I mentioned the low levels of caffeine earlier but it really made a difference. You do feel a slight buzz but not enough to make it a preworkout for me this definitely sits within the “intra workout” category. I primarily used it during weight training and found it very effective but I gave it a test throughout various cardio activities including jogging, HIIT, circuit training, cycling and sprint training it performed valiantly during all of them. There is only one real downside to CCE Hydroboost that I found and that’s that you are supposed to mix it with only 200ml of water which was drunk within the first 25 minutes of my workout. I tried mixing it up with more water but it diluted the lovely flavour too much, double (even triple) servings with the right ratio of water works well but then you burn through the tub really fast. I recommend a single serving and a bottle of water for most workouts, if you are as thirsty as me anyway.

It is priced very competitively and is slightly cheaper than comparable products on the market at the moment. The taste is excellent and it is a pleasure to drink but most importantly this product works! Apart from my minor gripe about the amount of liquid this product succeeds at everything it set out to. 9.5/10
