Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolytes Powder Sachets - 20 Flavoured Sticks - Rapid Rehydration - Prevent Dehydration - Achieve Optimal Hydration (20 Sachets, Berry)

I am going to be as thorough as possible because I have read some of the 'negative' or lesser star reviews and can understand as a scientist, where their perspective and expectations have come from. What is important to know, is that this product contains specifically, higher sodium than typical beverages/drinks and controlled glucose with no “masking sugar overload”; mainly because sodium + glucose together will enhance intestinal absorption, improve fluid retention and stabilise circulation whilst being gentle on the gut. Combined with my low BP and being celiac - these are the reasons I purchased the lemon sachets. However, due to this scientifically-backed formulation, this means 'how it tastes' is going to be an afterthought and not one of importance. Unfortunately, because most people are used to electrolyte drinks having a sweet, refreshing type Lucozade/Gatorade taste - which makes them less effective -, they are going to take issue with it but what is worth knowing that, generally speaking, the more 'science-backed hydration' the formulas is, the worse it is going to taste lol. Personally, I do not mind the taste because mentally I am not drinking it to replace a soda or a juice. As I mentioned, I am drinking it because I have a low BP, I want to increase my fluid retention and stabilise my circulation. After the first drink I felt notably more alert and refreshed. I hope this is helpful and sets more accurate expectations.

Been using these and the Orange version for a couple of years now, especially when I’m out and about in the heat, and recommend them to stop dehydrating

Due to the positive reviews I read about this product, I decided to give it a try. My choice was lemon, as it sounded appealing. The order arrived quickly, and I was eager to try it out. A little sweet, not overpowering, and I acquired the taste. It took me three sachets at different times to discover that I really enjoyed them. When I was dehydrated, they really helped. I like how easy they are to use, and how quickly they dissolve. The majority of the time, though, I try to sip this, but there are times when I can't and I just drink it all. It did make a difference in how I felt the next morning after drinking it before I went to bed one time, as recommended I wouldn't recommend this if you prefer a sweet electrolyte drink. Those who are looking for something slightly sweet, but with a bit of flavour, should try this. One downside of this product is its price, it's not the cheapest. Perhaps it can be made less expensive?

Best rehydration for excessive sweating, doesn't taste powdery and very quick to hydrate

Slight bitter taste
