These tablets are very easy to use just drop them into your water bottle and they dissolve like alka-seltzer. The resulting electrolyte-enhanced flavored water has a pleasant taste that isn't overly sweet. Just enough added taste to cover the added salt and make it easy to stay hydrated. The container is easy to keep in a jersey pocket and protects the tablets from getting crushed.

I've been using nuun exclusively in my water bottles for the past couple years. Great supplement, tasty flavors, dissolves wo a mess or chunks, not sticky and doesn't leave a mess on my bike.

I typically use Nuuns to avoid cramping during long summer ridesraces. I've tried a few flavors, and actually got Lemonade by mistake at first... and now I keep using them! I love the tablet format (easy to pack a few extras in a jersey pocket). And this flavor is not too strong nor chemical. Water doesn't get fizzy, and even in warm-er water it's still OK.

Always carry a couple for my long rides and it's great to take away the nasty flavor from sink water.

If you are looking for an electrolyte drink, this should be on your short list. It is easy to carry these tablets and use them anywhere. I use them for my cycling and when traveling. They have a great, light flavor and don't have all the sugar and corn syrup that most sport drinks have.

I'm skeptical of most of the sugary snacks that are supposed to power you up in your ride, but NUUN is not that. It works. Electrolytes help out on hot days. Keeps me going for those longer rides.

Not too sugary or full of sodium. I have tried orange and lime so far and like them both. Will try all flavors. Very convenient to use.

My biggest complaint with hydration was the fact it didn't come with caffeine. This stuff not only tastes good, the caffeine kick sure helps on longer rides.

I though I'd give Nuun tablets a try. Never again. Why?
Drop an Alka Seltzer tablet into a full Water Bottle. Drop a Cherry Vicks Cough Drop into same water bottle. Shake. Place in holder, ride.
Take a swig.
Yep, that's why.
I'll stick with Gu and CytoMax.
Review by ProMachineMike
I've been using Nuun pretty much since their inception. I've found a majority of the berry flavors as well as the caffeinated flavors not only tasty but the extra caffeine kick is noticeable.
Additionally, I also love the fact that if you spill it on you (-dribbling down your chin, for instance) it's not sticky.

I keep a couple of these wrapped in Saran Wrap in my saddle bag to take with me in case I run out of G2. To me the taste is so-so but tolerable and would be better to have with you than nothing at all. I tried the Lemon Tea so don't have a taste comparison for other Nuun flavors.

I cycle in South Central Texas where it gets really HOT. I am forever grateful for Nuun tablets. I have no use for gatorade and other sugary supplements. Nuun does the job and isn't too sweet. I always have some in stock.

Caffeine, hydration, good taste. Just what I wanted in a road tab. Allows for longer rides. Love this stuff!!
Review by sMCmason
Tastes better than the GU version I had been using.
Review by TDPRider
These tablets taste great and are easy use. Just drop one tablet along with a lot of ice in water bottle prior to your ride. A little more expensive than the powders but much easier and less messy to use. Check out the July 2013 issue of Triathlete Magazine for some great ideas to mix these tablets together for more flavors and some other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink options.
Review by OregonRide
I was not my favorite flavor. If you want soda flavor, drink a soda.

Great flavor & are all awesome. Replenishes quickly. Always use this on my rides.

This is a very easy to drink light electrolyte source. I find it easy to drink over long, 100 plus rides. Also, the package makes it easy to carry in your back pocket.

Nuun tablets have been a revelation for my longer rides. It is much easier on my stomach than a sugary drink, and I find that I am able to drink much more of it than even plain water. The salty taste is exactly what I'm craving on a ride. Super easy to bring along in the small tube they come with.
After a long ride I used to have huge problems with headaches (a few hours after finishing the ride). I tried eating a lot of salty foods, chips, etc without success. The electrolytes in Nuun don't actually include salt (NaCl) it turns out, but replace all of the other salts your body is missing after sweating out on the bike.
As other commenters have mentioned, sometimes can leave a dry mouth. For me though, the trade off of feeling great rather than cramping at the end of a long ride is 100% worth it. Great product, give it a try!

Grape is my flavor of choice and not bad when mixed with Hammer Gel
Nuun actually does include Sodium (Na+), as well as Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. I agree with every thing else in your review though. Nuun is an easy and tasty way to stay hydrated while riding!
