Acli-Mate gives back to your body what it deserves in nutrition, so recovery is enhanced. Acli-Mate is a must for all who seek the mountains.  Plus it tastes great in hot or cold weather. After a cool-rainy day of setting up our basecamp up at 10,000ft, high in the West Elk Mountains, we served Acli-Mate hot like a tea.  It was great!  We warmed up and gained the benefits of Acli-Mate immediately.

I live in Colorado above 6,000 feet, so I am already acclimated to the altitude.  However,  everyone who lives at altitude knows that you are still just as susceptible to high-altitude dehydration as the next person.

I recently climbed over 2,000 feet in elevation in the scorching sun on an archery elk hunt.  Despite my attempt to drink a lot of water, I got severely dehydrated and was left with a nasty headache that persisted straight through the next day.

The following morning, with my headache still there, I drank the Acli-Mate before heading out on my next hunt. To my delight my headache soon went away.  I went on to climb the mountain ridge and have another great day of hunting.  

I really like the taste of Acli-Mate and I appreciate that it’s sweetened with Stevia and made with all natural ingredients.  It has a lighter taste than other sports drinks on the market. I’ll continue to use Acli-Mate before and after I’m hunting, skiing, biking or running.

Acli-Mate rules!  I was traveling to the Leadville 100 mtb race from here in New Jersey (altitude 36ft).  I was very concerned about the effect the altitude was going to have on my race, as I have not fared well when I've traveled into the Rockies before this.  I was speaking with Rick Garcia at Tuneup Bikes in Gunnison a couple weeks prior to the race, and he highly recommended your product (he spoke highly of your company, and directed me to buy from your website instead of buying from his bike shop, which I thought said a lot).  I started on the Citrus flavor 3x a day, beginning 3 days before my travel (Thursday, race on Saturday).  I continued to use it up till race morning.  I am now the proud owner of a silver finisher's belt buckle- 11hrs6min on a singlespeed- without any altitude problems!  I consider your product part of my success, and I plan on continuing it's use back here in Jersey. 

Thanks very much.

First let me start by saying that I have never in my 66 years wrote a testimonial for a product.  I had to send this to you the manufacturer as your product Acli-Mate truly made a difference in my life.

I have been coming to Gunnison County Colorado for 14 years to visit with my daughter and have made the trip originally from New York and recently from Florida several times a year.  Every time I got to Colorado I started feeling dizzy, out of breath, severe headaches, body and hand shaking and had to fill a prescription for oxygen.  It seemed to me that the longer I stayed the sicker I felt.  Prior to my visits I would drink a lot of orange juice and a great deal of water to hydrate myself but nothing seemed to work.  My daughter has two small children and traveling to me in Florida has been a hardship so I make the trip but I admit it has been increasingly difficult to enjoy my grandchildren just taking them for a walk or going to the park.

It seemed that every hour I would have to sit down and take oxygen to breathe or lie down because the room felt like it was spinning and I would fall.

My daughter told me about this product acli-mate that is all natural and in a powder form and all I have to do is mix it with water.  She told me to start taking it three times a day for three days prior to coming to Colorado and to continue the same dosage all through out the trip.  We also decided that it would be helpful if I would spend one night in Denver and then go on to Crested Butte.

Well why am I so excited about this product.  IT WORKS!  It is very simple to carry in single dose packages and more economical in the tub and it tastes great.  For the first time in 14 years I had the best trip of my life.  I was able to stay for more than a week and did not have any of the above symptoms. I played with my grandchildren for hours at a time.  I had so much energy and stamina I couldn’t believe I was at 9800 feet above sea level.

Thank you for making this product.  I have made plans to visit again in the spring and will follow-up with another visit in the summer.  Snow is not my thing.

Sincerely,

Adrianne from Delray Beach, Florida

A life time nemesis has been debilitating night-time leg cramps.  A few years ago, I found that drinking Gatorade when the cramps hit would cause them to vanish.  Unfortunately, it is not always convenient when traveling in tents etc. to have a bottle of Gatorade by your side.  I decided to take a package of Acli-mate to Belize and Guatemala to see if it would work on my dreaded night-time leg cramps. It was a convenient and easy way to  pack something that I could quickly add to the bottle of water always by my side.  When the cramps hit in Belize, I drank the Acclimate and they immediately subsided. I now have packages in all of my backpacks!

Roanne - I am basically out of Acli-Mate. I have a few packets left but would love more. I used it in the Grand Traverse/Reverse and loved it! Thanks for the great all natural sports drink! I'm  off to Breckenridge for a race today for a new race called www.thefivepeaks.com it's 10,000ft of vertical along the 10 Mile range above the resort and I know Acli-Mate will be a huge help at those elevations too!
