Vitalyte Electrolyte Powder Packets - Isotonic Clean Electrolyte Hydration Drink Mix - Single Serve Rehydration Packets with No Artificial Colors, Flavors or Sweeteners (Cool Citrus, Pack of 25)

First time I've written an Amazon review. I'm writing from rural east Africa on my way to the South Sudan border where we serve amidst refugee settlement camps. I wouldn't have been able to remain here during this particular trip without your important product. I have late-stage neuroborreliosis and I'm on strong meds to treat it. But I needed (and wanted ) to make this trip. Trouble is, I keep dehydrating and temps exceed 40•C this time of year just before rainy season. Electricity is hit or miss and there's no air-conditioning. Knowing this, before I departed home, my daughter advised bringing electrolyte packets on this trip rather than drinking water alone (brilliant child!). I did a quick internet search, found Vitalyte, read impressive reviews and bought/packed two boxes. When I arrived here, I drank water thinking it'd be sufficient. It wasn't and 24 hours later I thought I might be heading back across the ocean (24 hour flight). I was dehydrating and on the way to really sick. I remembered the Vitalyte, opened and poured it in a water bottle. An hour later, I was a different person and I've been using since. No more racing pulse, muscle cramps, nausea. Use intermittently throughout the day and at night, I pour half a sleeve into a bottle before climbing underneath mosquito netting and drink as needed. This product is a game-changer. I'm planning to keep it on hand at all times, not just when I'm here. I wouldn't have cared about the flavor because it works brilliantly. But it's really good-- mild and not overly sweet. Dissolves immediately in water. I think I got citrus and I'll order other flavors later. Thanks for a product that helps make hydration easy, pleasant, sustainable. I've never needed supplementation like this and this product is making it possible for me to continue work and life I'm passionate about. Too bad you can't rate higher than five stars.

I love this product. It gives just a hint of flavor to my water and keeps me hydrated all day

Virtually no taste. I think it does the job but the lack of flavor is disappointing.

We used Vitalyte when we were hiking the Grand Canyon. I wish that we had packed more with us, after about 5 hours in the sun and heat, having something that was not only flavored, but helped replaced some of the lost electrolytes was a huge help. Before that trip, I had not realized the serious impact that being low on electrolytes can have while doing prolonged physical activity. Personally, we found the Citrus flavor the most palatable, but the orange wasn't bad either. I wasn't real keen on the Fruit punch, but my wife seemed to like it just fine. Personal taste I guess. We try to make sure we keep at least one tube in our packs now before we go on any hike, even in areas not as hot or dry as the Grand Canyon. I find it extremely helpful for a quick easy thing, instead of having to sit down and eat salty foods. In a weight to benefit ratio, its well worth it. Plus, the garbage isn't real heavy to pack out. Added bonus, you get a flavored drink, if drinking only water on hikes gets boring for you. Overall, the packets are pretty durable so they wont accidentally get punctured in your pack, they're light, inexpensive, and can really help out in a pinch. They give you something flavored to drink to break up the monotony of water, and personally we think they taste better than Gatorade. Definitely a solid product. We use it pretty frequently. Might not be bad for the gym either if that is your type of thing.

Been using vitalyte for several years, and it does a great job of hydrating without feeling like I've ingested so much sugar. The flavor is not too strong, and it's tasty as well, which helps!

Ingredients is amazing, mixing is amazing no sediments at the bottom of the cup, easy to grab and go. Love it

I was in the heat working for 8 hours. I'm not a doctor, but I seemed to function better with this Vitalyte.

Almost all the sports drinks and recovery drinks have stevia or another sugar substitute. While the idea of that is fine (lower calories, less sugar) I can’t tolerate any of them and was very happy to find this (after a lot of looking and reading ingredients lists) that only uses sugar.
