> 3 dayUsed these when travelling on a plane or when not feeling well. Seemed to help keep the crud away. Just wish each unit price was not so expensive. I prefer Passion Fruit over other flavors.

> 3 dayThis came highly recommended, and I see it in Costco a lot. I needed to get some hydration packets as I sweat a lot these days and lose a lot of trace minerals, salts, etc. So I purchased this along with several other options. I wish I could give a half star, as it should be 3.5, but the downsides are too much to allow for 4, so 3 it is. 1 - WAY too much sugar. 11grams is a LOT. Granted its organic pure cane sugar, which is a step up from what most major brand sports drinks offer, but as an electrolyte, sugar is the least necessary to replenish for most diets. 2 - Second ingredient is Dextrose, which is fructose corn syrup, or fructose, depending on what its made from, but its a dried out powdered form of it. It doesnt indicate the sourcing, but even so, its concentrated sugar, and fructose is 1/2 highly toxic. Pared with Sucrose? Im wondering what the thought process was here in having a secondary sugar product, and having the top two ingredients be sugar. The added sugar makes even less sense when theres Stevia and Citric acid, so a sweetener and a sweet enhancer. Its most likely to create a better tasting product to sell more. This is more a marketing tactic than anything, knowing that Gatorade is beloved because its essentially sugar water. Problem is this especially makes it something I wont be purchasing again. 3 - Silicon Dioxide? Why? Theres no need to worry about caking with this, as even if the powder forms a solid bond, when it hits water it separates anyhow. At least this tends to just move through the body, but thats unnecessary. Its not inherently bad unless it gets past your gut walls. 4 - Price point? Why so high? Its a bit insane how expensive this is. Is it sourcing? Is it certain doctors taking a cut of profits? If theres a valid reason why your brand is so high when others can keep their prices at a reasonable level and still have great sourcing, then Im all ears (and a far superior product). So the pros: 1 - Decent Potassium level 2 - I actually prefer the salt levels, but for most Americans this is actually critical, as were generally VERY low in Sodium in general. Bad science on the impact of high sodium and correlations to heart attacks (theres no science on direct causation, and the correlative science is sketchy at best). Though I do eat a lot of salt, I do tend to sweat a LOT, so if this were less sugary, I might reconsider (except the price point is ridiculous). Theres more hard data on low sodium being dangerous, so this is actually a tremendous positive, potentially higher than the decent Potassium levels. Also, if you take a lot of potassium, you need to balance it out and help your body flush extra with extra sodium, as it then flushes out extra electrolytes, and high potassium is very dangerous. 3 - Vitamins B3, 6, and 12. Missing the critical 9 though, but good nevertheless. Decent levels, not particularly high compared to other brands but over the recommended levels by a fair amount. Helpful with energy and restoration after a workout (12 helps repair DNA damage). 4 - Vitamin C, but at very low levels. Then again this is mostly for cell repair or if youve taken on sickness, and cleaning out unwanted elements in cells (so cell flushing of whats been repaired). Good to add. I mean the positives are great, but the price point and high sugar just kill it.
