About the Company from the website: 
Founder, Brad Keyes, an avid endurance athlete, literally couldn't stomach anything during training and racing. Come race day, vomit was almost guaranteed. He would then spend the rest of the day, useless, curled up in a ball on the floor, much to the chagrin of his wife and kids. After figuring out it was his nutrition that was causing the problem, Keyes began his journey of researching and consulting with top nutritionists and exercise physiologists. This led to him testing ingredients and formulations (on himself and unsuspecting friends) and ultimately their first product, CarboRocket. Finally, something that could be used all day for hydration, fuel and electrolytes that didn't cause any stomach or familial distress! The current sports drink market is saturated with chemical-filled, poor-tasting beverages. CarboRocket is the next generation of sports drinks. The latest sports science research combined with the best tasting, all-natural, proven ingredients makes CarboRocket the perfect alternative for hydration and nutrition needs.

Notes:
I have been trying out various CarboRocket products in training (bike and run) and I really enjoy the Grape, Raspberry and Black Cherry Half Evil 333 flavors. I have been using 2 scoops per bottle (26 ounce) per hour of training and the powder mixes well (no clumps) and has a very light consistency, no strong aftertaste and not overly sweet. I also like that you can adjust the scoops to your workout needs - I have been using 1 scoop in a 10-ounce flask for running and 2 scoops per bottle for cycling.
