KEY NUTRIENTS Hydration Packets – 5 Delicious Flavors in Electrolytes Powder Packets No Sugar 10 Pack – No Calories, Gluten Free Electrolytes Powder Packets, Non GMO, Made in USA

Excellent electrolyte replacement (most important), and o.k. taste
WHAT I PURCHASED: Key Nutrients, Electrolyte Recovery Plus, Orange flavor.WHAT I USE IT FOR: Electrolyte replacement (ER) for intense, high elevation gain hiking that causes a great amount of sweating and electrolyte loss. Hikes typically range from between 6 to 11 miles in length, and between 3,000 to 4,000 feet elevation gain.HOW I USE IT: One scoop/serving per hike, normally intended to be combined with 16 ounces of water, but I combine it with 28 ounces of water.OVERALL REVIEW:I had been using 1 PowerAde (zero sugar) bottled sports drink per hike for a while (plus regular water and food like bananas, energy bars, etc.) I was stocking up on PowerAde when it went on sale for about $0.70 per 28oz bottle. It was easy to pack/use and the flavor was good, but I wasn’t happy with the minimal ER ingredients (similar to Gatorade). Also, the price has been going up in the last couple months (inflation!) PowerAde also only has a couple flavors that don’t have various color dyes (e.g., Yellow #5, etc.)I researched a lot of different ER products. The only ones that seems cost effective were powdered (versus bottled liquid). Of those I narrowed down to a few that were both cost effective (per serving) and had a good balance of ER ingredients. This product by Key Nutrients had the best over all balance. In fact it seems to be among the highest in electrolytes and one of the lowest in price. The cost per serving is around $0.35. That’s about half of the lowest PowerAde sale price I found, and yet the ER ingredient levels are far superior in this Key Nutrients product.When hiking using this ER drink I don’t seem to get as thirsty as fast, and more importantly I’m a bit less sore and for less time after hikes. This seems to indicate it is indeed working better as electrolyte replacement than PowerAde.FLAVOR REVIEW:The orange flavor tastes somewhat like Tang, as other reviewers have mentioned. It’s not bad, but also not great, which is part of the reason that I use more water to dilute it. I’m in it for the electrolytes not the flavor. That being said if it tasted awful like some reviewers say I wouldn’t drink it. It takes o.k., which works for me. Other reviewers have noted that it doesn’t mix completely and a little of it settles to the bottom, which is true. However, that hasn’t been an issue for me at all since all I do is simply shake the bottle a little before taking a drink and it mixes back up fine. I look forward to trying another flavor or 2 in the future, perhaps pink lemonade and raspberry.BOTTOM LINE – HIGHLY RECOMMENED: This is the best value I’ve found for ER combined with low cost. Also, I bought another container of the orange flavor today because Amazon has it on-sale for $4.50 off (so now only about $0.30/serving).RECOMMENDATION TO KEY NUTRIENTS COMPANY: Bring back the trial/sample option on your website or on Amazon. It would be great to try all the flavors before buying the full-size container and potentially having to hassle with a return. I’m willing to pay a fair price for a sample pack, as I’m sure are many others.

Your Health Is A Priority.
Ordered this product September 14th 2019.After learning via my favorite male model that properly hydrated skin comes from the right electrolyte balance, I searched the webs for the newest supplement to add to my diet as I’m already pretty strict about what I eat. Reading several reviews and having the flavor be lemonade was the cherry on top for this product.What it’s done: I can honestly say after 90 days I have seen an improvement in my skin. It visibly looks more vibrant and I can tell it’s elasticity is miles ahead than before I started consuming this product. Therefore it worked for the purposes I purchased it.However, because I also worked out 6 days a week I realized that electrolytes were the same thing advertised in things like Gatorade and Powerade; nutrients that would promote muscle recovery and just make you feel replenished. Boy was I right, not only does this powder come in handy after an intense sprint workout, it has gotten to the point where I will not go to the gym unless I’ve had my electrolyte drink prior. I can physically feel this stuff working in my favor whether it’s high-intensity interval training or strength training. Yes it’s that good, they’ve definitely made a customer out of me.Now to address reviews regarding the chalky lemonade flavor and dissolving:1. The lemon flavor honestly tastes like powdered lemonade, which is impressive considering the lack of sugar in this product. Upon reading the label you will find stevia extract to be the reason it tastes so much like regular lemonade. I’ve personally always hated stevia and find it to be a terrible substitute for sugar, but the chemists behind this product fooled me this time because I didn’t even know it was stevia up until writing this review.2. The chalkyness that comes with it not dissolving correctly: I have a solution for you folks, pour another glass of water, swivle it around a little and drink the remaining powder. It’s not that hard. Plus the powder tastes significantly better than any of those Flinstone vitamins I see people comparing this too. The payoff for the nutrients I am receiving from this product far exceeds any laziness I may have for pouring myself another glass of water.As a current student at University my health and my grades are my top priorities.If I ever get into an afternoon slump it’s nice to know I can also rely on this powder to give me a subtle kick of energy I need to keep moving forward. It quickly supplies me with that mental clarity I’ll need after hours of sitting in front of a screen and typing. And yes I can physically feel a difference in my actual head. It’s wonderful.$30 for a 90 day supply for feeling both mentally and physically stronger is a convenient price to pay. Far less expensive than any of the other brands I’ve seen and so far does the job. I have purchased cherry-pom flavor and will look forward to reviewing that one soon.

I took it twice for only for one day and I went to the emergency room as I was throwing up and couldn’t eat/drink anything with a pain in my whole body and fever. I didn’t think it was from the electrolytes but my husband tried a couple of sips and he got a very bad stomachache. We gave it to a friend to try it and he got the same symptoms. Horrible product and it has a terrible metal taste.

I work out for over two hours a day and sweat a lot, so I need to add electrolytes to my water to feel balanced. But this powder is just wrong on so many levels.First, the taste, I got the peach mango flavor, and while it’s edible, it tastes as artificial as it gets. Then there’s the digestion issue. Drinking this while being active causes massive stomach upset. I actually feel like I’m going to vomit because my stomach treats it like poison, and I end up burping constantly during my workout.As for hydration? Not a chance. The aftertaste makes you feel even drier than before you drank it. And since it makes you feel sick, you never actually feel okay.The only real benefit I noticed is if you go for, say, 10 days of training without any electrolytes, this might help—but only if you take it 3-4 hours before your workout. In that case, it does make you feel rehydrated after a few hours.I definitely wouldn’t recommend using this more than once every two weeks.Review Update:They provided full refund. I am changing from 1 star to 5 stars.

Also ich benutze es morgens nach dem aufstehen,im Sommer weil ich doch stark schwitze und zum Sport.Keine Krämpfe ect und ich habe das Gefühl(immer subjektiv) das es mich unterstützt.Der Geschmack lässt sich mit ahoi brause oder dieser türkischen limo (uludag orange)vergleichen, wenn diese mit Stevia gesüßt würden.Ich würde es mir nicht wegen des Geschmacks kaufen,finde diesen aber in Ordnung.Ich empfinde es auch als zu süß oder eher Zuviel „Geschmack“ oder Aroma im Produkt.Die Löslichkeit ist gut.Alles in allem ist das preis leistungsverhältnis top und es ist wirklich schwer Elektrolytpulver zu finden das nicht für Ausdauersportler ausgelegt ist und somit Zucker enthält.Ich habe 3 andere gefunden.Wobei 2 davon Brausetabletten und eins sachets zum direkt einnehmen waren.Einzige Kritik: Salz,also nacl,könnte enthalten sein.
