TFS Follow-up Review:
nuun’s New “kona cola” Flavored Electrolyte Tablets

In the expanding world of hydration products, nuun has separated itself from the pack with their quality portable electrolyte tablets. It is dissolves quickly, is sugar-free, is convenient to use, and tends to have a mild, pleasing taste.
(For nuun product details and to read TheFinalSprint.com’s review from earlier this year, please click here).
Since TFS’s review, nuun has added “kona cola” as a new flavor to their existing lineup of lemon-lime, tri-berry, and citrus fruit. Not only does Kona Kola give a new taste, but also offers 40 mg of caffeine for each tablet. This quantity of caffeine is roughly half of the amount found in a cup of coffee, and is more on par with a cup of tea or a serving of cola.
I was initially apprehensive about trying a cola-flavored sports drink. After all, who likes flat coke? However, I was pleasantly surprised with Kona Cola’s taste. It was mild, and really worked with nuun’s slight effervescence (”fizziness”). Although it is not my all-time favorite flavor, it is a welcome addition and adds variety. Furthermore, athletes that prefer to consume caffeine during activity will appreciate the small shot of vitamin C and the 40mg of caffeine in “kona cola” nuun.
