Contains Artificial Sweeteners
Unfortunately I didn’t read the ingredient list carefully prior to my purchase.  I did check the nutritional content and this energy drink had both the carbohydrates and electrolytes I was looking for in an energy drink.  I tried the Science in Sport drink during two long cycling sessions and it was effective with maintaining blood glucose levels and avoiding the dreaded bonk.<br /><br />However, It has a sickish sweet taste when mixed at the proper dosage.  I decided to check the ingredients more carefully after using the product and I was disappointed to find aspartame as a sweetener.  It makes zero sense using artificial sweeteners in an energy drink when you can use sweet natural alternatives like sucrose and fructose.  I am disappointed that the product wasn’t clearly labeled diet or contains artificial ingredients.  I am throwing it away and going to warn every cyclist I know to avoid it.
