Pedialyte is clutch. Use it wisely

This review is for the Berry Frost flavor. Unlike some other reviewers, I quite like the taste of it. I happen to find it pretty mild in flavor and enjoy it, but I'm not particularly sensitive to sucralose or salt. It is incredibly easy to drink, being very "smooth" in how it goes down without any abrasive texture or flavor (to me). I'm not able to guzzle many liquids, but I can quickly drain a bottle of this.I gave this a try because I'm habitually dehydrated. Yep, habitually. I don't strive for dehydration, but I just can't get into the habit of drinking a lot of fluids. Living in arid southern Arizona dries me out without me really realizing it because sweat doesn't tend to be that noticeable as it evaporates so quickly. So, I thought that I'd see if this did anything for me.It does! I drank a one-liter bottle the night that the four-pack arrived, and I felt significantly more alert and physically better than I had felt in a long time. I drank one bottle every day for the next three days, and it definitely had a positive affect on my mental and physical states. Instead of feeling mentally drained and worn out in the afternoon, I kept going strong. Was it the water or the electrolytes, or both? I can't say. I can only say that this makes me feel a lot better.What I don't love about it is the price of ~$5 a liter. I'm not saying that's not a fair price, as I don't really know...but it's more than I'm willing to spend every day. Yet. I'm heading to a local Target today to try some Gatorade G2 (lower calorie Gatorade) to see if it helps me out as much, considering that it's a lot cheaper. G2 is similar in calories and carbs to this AdvancedCare+, but it does have significantly lower levels of electrolytes. For every eight ounces, AdvancedCare+ has 15 calories, 4g of carbs, 330mg of sodium, and 180mg of potassium. By comparison, eight ounces of G2 has 20 calories, about 4.5g of carbs, but only 107mg of sodium (33%) and 30mg of potassium (17%). If G2, or perhaps some other "sports" drink helps me out as much as this, then I'll pass on this unless/until the price drops. However, if they don't help me feel as good as this does, I just might pony up the cash. $5/day isn't super cheap, but it's actually not that bad in comparison to what I already spend on food and drink (including beer...).So, while I will look to see if less expensive products work as well, I can say with certainly that this product did work for me. Outside of price, I absolutely recommend it.

Being in my 30’s has brought me much wisdom and still just slightly less ability to say no to tequila shots people send to your table. With that being said, hungovers in your 30s feel like being hit by a Mack truck and have the audacity to linger like they pay the light bill. My niece suggested pedialyte in Vegas and it worked so well I decided to add it to my arsenal just to have around at home. It also came in handy to keep us alive when we got the rona (water and pedialyte together are so important to survival!). Tastes like blue icee and a little bit of windex which could just be from the atrocious unnecessary metal seal, but it works and we survived the chemicals in 90’s junk food so it should be fine. My only qualm is that you literally need welders gloves, pliers and a vice grip to remove the metal roofing style seal around the top. I’ve never imagined a more terrible scenario than being about as strong as wet noodle while being hung over or sick and having to wrestle a sharp metal seal off of a life saving fluid. The temptation to rip it off with your teeth is flung into the gutter when the entire seal is metal and you’ll see Jesus if you try that- so here I am miserable with a bowl of jello for a brain - literal vice grip pliers and a meat hook trying to give all of my strength to pry this treacherous seal off so I don’t cut myself taking a sip or drink any shards and die- I lost three finger nails and part of my finger print in this process. The first three bottles slices my hands up like I was in a jail fight with wolverines and the two following I just stabbed a straw through ended up being poured out because the straw just punched a piece of the metal into the liquid and feeling like my head was gonna blow- I wasn’t trying to bob for shards. Bottom line is- please don’t seal them with dangerous industrial strength supplies that likely leech chemicals into your product- with zero pull tab options. It takes you 20 minutes to attempt to open it and it almost feels like being in a SAW movie. I mean it’s a sports drink it’s not an 08 4 lokos- who are you truly needing to protect this ferociously?

I hesitate to give 5 stars simply because I need to see long term results. A coworker said he drinks this when he has a big night of alcohol. As we were talking I wondered if it might help with my muscle cramps. I work a very physically demanding job and I can get severe cramps- especially in my thighs, stomach, calves and hamstrings.(believe me, there are plenty of other muscles that do cramp on me, don't wonder what else is there). I've used a myriad of hopeful help/cures. Some things work better than others..... So far this is doing a bang up job. I drink about 1/3 of the bottle after work, sometimes a bit less and I've either had no cramping or very very little. I've also noticed I went a couple days without having any and still had no cramping. So perhaps there's a build up effect. And if I don't need to drink this daily especially come this summer, that's good too. The flavor is good - light and gently sweet. Nothing cloying.

I bought these when I was sick. They helped my rehydrate and don't taste bad.

Great product to add into your weakly nutrition. I use it as a preventative.
