TRIORAL Rehydration Electrolyte Powder - Oral Rehydration Salts - Supports Dehydration from Workouts, Fluid Loss and General Hydration - 100 Drink Mix Packets

-taste is unpleasant but tolerable plain if you’re used to drinking electrolytes/have built up a tolerance to salty flavors. Drinking it cold makes it feel less like drinking sweat. I highly recommend just adding some kind of flavoring though, any water flavoring works fine in my experience, and if you want to taste it as little as possible I’d recommend mixing it into orange juice. You can also just dilute it more than the package suggests if you need to.-best price I’ve seen for electrolytes.-helps my dysautonomia so much. Doesn’t lower my heart rate much, but widens my normally narrow pulse pressure and alleviates air hunger, lightheadedness, etc. The amount of electrolytes in most sports drinks is just too low to do anything for me, but this actually works.-only con is that a smaller serving pack would be nice. Right now if I need to add it to a 16 oz water bottle I just use half a pack and roll it up and wrap a rubber band around it, and that works fine, but it would be nice if there was a 10g serving size packet so I wouldn’t have to do that.If you’re looking for electrolytes for the occasional hangover you should probably splurge on some better tasting liquid IV, but if you need high dose electrolytes regularly this is your best option.

Bottom line: cheaper than competitors, highly effective rehydration, tastes ok at room temp, decent cold, gross hotI am in military flight school and we are flying in the afternoons in the middle of summer in the Deep South. Daily temps are around 100, with high humidity. My flight suit is drenched in sweat before I even make it to the aircraft, then we have to climb around during preflight before spending several hours in a dark green metal box with no AC. My first day I drank a half gallon of water, didn't pee, and had a severe dehydration headache. The second day I used a packet of my wife's Liquid Iv. It helped, but I still had a headache (plus those are expensive). I did some research and I found this product on some Reddit posts about the medical condition known as POTS, it seems to be highly effective in helping their symptoms. At half the price per packet as liquid IV, I ordered 100.My technique is to drink about a half a packet before I leave for the day, drink a big bottle of regular water while we are doing our briefing, refill that, then during preflight I will drink from a cooled blender bottle with the other half of my packet. I will use up my other water bottle during the rest of the flight. I've felt great every day and have not had any symptoms of dehydration despite sweating for about five hours straight every day.This is absolutely a stronger rehydration packet than Liquid Iv. Of course... yes.. it does not taste sweet like other products, it really is just salts. If it's cold, it's not bad at all. At home i keep a pitcher of sweet tea on hand and I have found even just a big splash of it on top of my salty water mix will make it quite palatable. However, if you're in a situation like mine, I would recommend drinking it before it gets warm. If I wait to drink my blender bottle of Trioral and it gets hot in the aircraft, it's kinda like drinking sweat.

I live where it is quite hot for much of the year and due to medical issues, It’s really important that I stay hydrated. Have really been looking for an electrolyte mix that is truly flavorless that I could have either alone or mix with different kinds of fruit juice. This has been the first electrolyte mix that I found that reliably meets this criteria. Also, really love that the only things that are in it are things that you need nothing you don’t to quickly hydrate. A true life saver in the summertime. I bought this package to try it out and like it so much I have since ordered the large bulk pack of these so that I always have some on hand. Great for when you are out and about and for travel.The only thing I really wish could be changed with this product is that because of how you have to rip it open, it can sometimes be quite difficult to do without a pair of scissors, and so it would be nice if they can find a way to make this easier to open for those that may not have a lot of finger dexterity and/or hand strength. Even with this issue II think this product is definitely worth it , especially compared to a lot of other electrolyte products I have tried over the last few years. Also works well for rehydrating if you have nausea and vomiting and are sensitive to smells and taste because of these issues. I think it is a better buy pricewise per packet to buy the bulk pack because ultimately it’s cheaper. However, for this pack of 10 to just try them is a good idea to assess if it’s something that you like and works for you.

I love these, it helps me so much and it tastes good enough for me to drink straight. I love that there is an electrolyte mix that is unflavored and also has no non-caloric / 0 cal/ fake sweeteners in it. all sugar substitutes taste horrible to me and its so rare to find a drink mix that does not have any.
