Hydrant - Hydration Powder, Blood Orange Flavor, 30 Individual Instant Electrolyte Rehydration Packets - Low Sugar Drink Mix for Daily Use, Travel & Workouts

This is a really wonderful product with great flavor. I bought as a more affordable alternative to liquid IV and I wasn’t disappointed. I actually like this better because to me liquid IV is a little too much for a standard water bottle but this stuff is perfect. The only thing I would change is it’s still pretty pricey, but this product is more reasonable than others on the market so still five stars for me!

I've been struggling to stay hydrated, not for lack of trying. I've had Liquid IV recommended to me a thousand times, but I cannot stand the taste of anything other than real sugar. I'm extremely sensitive to it.So when I went looking for a stevia-free alternative and chanced upon Hydrant, I had to laugh. I didn't need to squint through ingredients to see if it had stevia or sucralose. It says right on the package, NO STEVIA. Of course, I checked the ingredients anyway, and then refused to believe it wasn't too good to be true until I actually got these in the mail.I've now ordered a heinous amount of several flavors. It's good stuff, period. Hydrant is running promos at the Bullseye Box Store for cheaper than elsewhere, sometimes, but I've gotten lucky and found the 30 count for under $20 occasionally on Amazon.So far I've tried the lime, Raspberry Lemonade Energy, and grapefruit. The raspberry lemonade is by far my favorite, but because it does have caffeine, I tend to drink it when I wake up and switch to lime later in the day. The caffeine comes from green tea and while I didn't think it made a difference, it does keep me up if I drink it after 9 pm. So it has a punch, even if it doesn't give the same jolt that coffee does.The lime is my go-to when I don't need energy or want to conserve the more-costly raspberry lemonade. One stick in the pack I got was hardened and had to be tossed, but so far the rest have been okay. It tastes like lime and dissolves great in a bottle of water. The taste is sour and strong and from what I can tell, it does the trick for hydration.I've also tried the grapefruit and it tastes like grapefruit.All three have been strong flavors. Weirdly, the grapefruit 30-pack I got through Amazon arrived with the shipping label slapped on the outside of the bag itself... But it did survive transit at least.I probably wouldn't pay $30 for 30, but at least one flavor always seems to be on sale. For anyone with sucralose/stevia/aspartame sensitivity like me, it passes the test. Great stuff.

Hydrant is awesome! My doctor suggested I get an electrolyte drink mix, but I didn't want something super sweet just because of my personal preference. I also don't like the flavor of stevia and fake sweetener, so I wanted something with real sugar but just a little to cover up the salty flavor. After looking for a while I settled on Hydrant, and it's perfect! Exactly what I wanted - I put a packet in my 32oz water bottle and it just makes it slightly flavored and sweet enough to cover up the salty taste of electrolytes. I can really feel the difference it makes in hydrating me compared to plain water. The only thing is I wish it was cheaper, so I'm still deciding if I want to repurchase or if I'll buy cheap plain electrolytes and try to cover it up with a some sort of flavoring.

I have a prescription that has dry mouth and dehydration as common side effects, and a 2nd prescription that has, well, dry mouth and dehydration as common side effects. Needless to say, I really needed something to help stay hydrated on a daily basis. I have tried a lot of the products out there (Nuun, Kiss My Keto, DripDrop, Hydrasurge, Ultima, and just the standard Gatorade, Powerade, etc.). I find that the best in terms of actually working well to combat my dehydration are Hydrant and Nuun, though Hydrant has half the sodium, so I'd put it to the top of the list. Other than their Grapefruit flavor, which smells awful and has an unpleasant taste, I've found the other flavors like lime to be very mild, like squeezing a single lime into a liter of water, definitely easy to drink, if not particularly flavorful. But in terms of its ability to combat dehydration, I have found nothing better.

I purchased this because I wanted a low-calorie, no-disgusting-sweetener electrolyte powder. That's how this is advertised. "No artificial sweeteners." "Less sweet, all natural."Except they aren't counting Monkfruit as "artificial." I should have read the fine-print. Disgusting. When will someone offer what we actually want: food with less sugar that tastes like it has less sugar. That's all we want. Why is this so hard.

I've been using this product since Oct. 2023 - love the taste of the lemon lime and ingredients, I feel great and hydrated and it has become a core part of my daily routine when drinking water as I'm in the gym about 4-5 days a week and naturally sweat an excessive amount. I'm giving this product three stars however because there's always at a MINIMUM of 6 packets in a single bag that are stale/rock hard and will not dissolve; the taste is also extremely off with them. So over the course of when I began using these, I've accumulated 990 packets total with a *minimum* of 198 of those packets as stale. Quality assurance checks need to increase if the company intends to maintain the price point for the product.

This helped me so much it taste great and doesn’t have an aftertaste

I like it very much
