Kinderlyte Electrolyte Powder, Advanced Hydration, Easy Open Packets, Supplement Drink Mix (Lemon Lime, 16 Count)

The general rule of thumb with electrolyte supplements is that if you're sweating for 60+ minutes or more, it can help. Beyond that, they all generally boil down to the same ingredients (there are only so many electrolytes you need, so fundamentally all the different ones out there are generally the same product with different flavor variations or brands to choose which you want to be loyal to). So what set Kinderlyte apart for me is, per their website and product description, it's more electrolytes and less sugar. Dextrose instead of sugar (sucrose + fructose), and while I can't get into its impact on blood sugar levels, it both tastes more satisfying and less of a general "sugary -Ade drink vibe and I've noticed in my personal experience that I've found it seems to work effectively both pre, during, and post sweat session whether that's extended time in the sauna, working out, a combo of those, exercising or gardening on a hot day, etc. It also doesn't have any of those repulsive artificial colors that I can tell. I also like that this has a pleasant lemon-lime flavor which I've not found elsewhere. It dissolves super easily. The base electrolytes/salty flavor is very mild, just the right balance between Tastes Like Plain Water on the one end of the spectrum and Tastes Like Generic Sugary Insert Flavor sports drink on the other. Super easy to use, throw in a bag and go, and I've noticed it doesn't seem to clump like other packaged drink mix tubes I've tried. It's not the highst cost that's out there, but I haven't done a full cost comparison but for the quality, it's either right in the middle or exceeds in quality what you're being charged for, so good either way!

taste is pleasant, not sugary sweet, kept me hydrated on hot hikes and kayak trips

Its the only thing my husband and I use for hydration. It keeps my husband from cramping up In the heat

Love this drink. I use one packet to 32 oz of water. Makes the water have nice taste so that I drink more water.

We try not to use sugar in our electro unless doing strenuous activity like, backpacking or climbing and for those times it has the perfect blend of what your body craves. Great choice for kids that don't drink enough and expened limitless energy (we dilute it heavily). Most of us love the taste, is easy to pack away in backpacks and perfect for camping and backpacking for the ease of filling and mixing. The powder doesn't mix as well as some others and there is occasionally a gritty texture that needs to be shaken away. For the money, it's a great value and solid option for performance and feeling good during extended activities.
