No Friends on a Powder Day

Not any more thanks to Acli-Mate.  I am an avid skier and photographer in Salt Lake City.  When an old ski buddy from Ohio and I reconnected via facebook I had a plan to try to ensure that we would not be missing any epic powder turns due to fatigue or problems with the altitude.  I quickly ordered some Acli-Mate online and it arrived the day before his plane landed.  Minutes after he got in the car I handed him a water bottle with a serving of the grape Alci-Mate.  We both drank our Alci-Mate while we shared stories from back in the day.  Within less than an hour after picking him up we were in our ski gear at 10,000 feet at the top of the Collins lift at Alta.  We skied hard for the rest of the day while it continued to dump the greatest snow on earth.  We both woke up early the next day eager to ski the fresh snow with no complaints of sore muscles.  With Acli-Mate and a big breakfast, we skied even harder the second day making multiple laps in area that we had to hike a boot pack to earn our turns.  Thanks to the Ali-Mate we hiked and skied this area for most of the afternoon.  My Ohio ski buddy charged hard all day long.  He said it was the best ski trip of his life. Thanks Acli-Mate.

We climbed McKinley twice last year, once in May and once in June. By the 2nd time, we were already hooked on Acli-Mate so we made a couple of pix of us with it for you to see. Both pix with Acli-Mate were taken at Windy Corner, about 13,500 feet)...

Just wanted to let you know that I started using Acli-Mate a few days before heading off on an Eastern plains antelope hunt, even though I live at a higher elevation than what I would be hunting. Acli-Mate gave me a "boost" in my energy level, without making me feel jittery or hyped up on caffeine. Fact is, I liked it so much that I took packages with me to the hunting camp and gave it to the "real flat landers" that had come up to 6,000 feet to chase antelope and deer.
 
Without exception, everyone in camp said that it perked them up, gave them a "higher energy" enthusiasm level and didn't make them "crash," as is so often with those super-sugar, super-caffine energy or sports drinks!  Overall, it made everyone feel pretty darn good!

Thanks for putting out a product that does what its advertised to do!

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.

"Thanks so much.  Great product; great
company;...high quality, herbal, vitamins, minerals...I am excited!

Taste – "Smooth taste and flavorful, not overbearing"

Sugar content – "Does not taste too sugary"

Electrolytes – "Ran a 24-miler (over 3-hrs) recently with 24-ounces of Acli-Mate (one hand-held bottle), a few gels, and felt great; no problem with muscle/leg cramping and just sipping the beverage from the bottle (while running) every 10-20 minutes seemed to keep me satiated and hydrated."

Energy – "Good, solid energy boost; so far I’ve felt strong while running with the beverage and even better when using it as a recovery drink along with ample water intake."

Recovery – "Excellent recovery; legs and overall energy have rebounded quickly with the use of Acli-Mate post long training runs in addition to focused water intake for optimal re-hydration."

"Excellent overall product with a blend of important electrolytes, other vitamins and minerals, and acclimation to altitude substances to boot! I am thoroughly enjoying this product!"

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.

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.

Acli-Mate truly helped our daughter minimize her severe altitude sickness. We are from Florida so going from sea level to Crested Butte at roughly 9500 feet, is always tough.  We keep an oxygen condenser unit in our Colorado home so our daughter doesn't feel so bad.  After starting the Acli-Mate three days prior to our trip and the first few days of being at a high altitude, she was fine.  No oxygen, no getting sick.  Everything was great.  I highly recommend Acli-Mate for the low-landers heading "up"!!!
