Excellent electrolyte replacement (most important), and o.k. taste
WHAT I PURCHASED: Key Nutrients, Electrolyte Recovery Plus, Orange flavor.WHAT I USE IT FOR: Electrolyte replacement (ER) for intense, high elevation gain hiking that causes a great amount of sweating and electrolyte loss. Hikes typically range from between 6 to 11 miles in length, and between 3,000 to 4,000 feet elevation gain.HOW I USE IT: One scoop/serving per hike, normally intended to be combined with 16 ounces of water, but I combine it with 28 ounces of water.OVERALL REVIEW:I had been using 1 PowerAde (zero sugar) bottled sports drink per hike for a while (plus regular water and food like bananas, energy bars, etc.) I was stocking up on PowerAde when it went on sale for about $0.70 per 28oz bottle. It was easy to pack/use and the flavor was good, but I wasn't happy with the minimal ER ingredients (similar to Gatorade). Also, the price has been going up in the last couple months (inflation!) PowerAde also only has a couple flavors that don’t have various color dyes (e.g., Yellow #5, etc.)I researched a lot of different ER products. The only ones that seems cost effective were powdered (versus bottled liquid). Of those I narrowed down to a few that were both cost effective (per serving) and had a good balance of ER ingredients. This product by Key Nutrients had the best over all balance. In fact it seems to be among the highest in electrolytes and one of the lowest in price. The cost per serving is around $0.35. That’s about half of the lowest PowerAde sale price I found, and yet the ER ingredient levels are far superior in this Key Nutrients product.When hiking using this ER drink I don’t seem to get as thirsty as fast, and more importantly I’m a bit less sore and for less time after hikes. This seems to indicate it is indeed working better as electrolyte replacement than PowerAde.FLAVOR REVIEW:The orange flavor tastes somewhat like Tang, as other reviewers have mentioned. It’s not bad, but also not great, which is part of the reason that I use more water to dilute it. I’m in it for the electrolytes not the flavor. That being said if it tasted awful like some reviewers say I wouldn’t drink it. It takes o.k., which works for me. Other reviewers have noted that it doesn’t mix completely and a little of it settles to the bottom, which is true. However, that hasn’t been an issue for me at all since all I do is simply shake the bottle a little before taking a drink and it mixes back up fine. I look forward to trying another flavor or 2 in the future, perhaps pink lemonade and raspberry.BOTTOM LINE – HIGHLY RECOMMENED: This is the best value I’ve found for ER combined with low cost. Also, I bought another container of the orange flavor today because Amazon has it on-sale for $4.50 off (so now only about $0.30/serving).RECOMMENDATION TO KEY NUTRIENTS COMPANY: Bring back the trial/sample option on your website or on Amazon. It would be great to try all the flavors before buying the full-size container and potentially having to hassle with a return. I’m willing to pay a fair price for a sample pack, as I’m sure are many others.

Better than Nuun
This stuff is great and keeps me nice and hydrated. The taste is yummy. I like the big container because I can control exactly how stong my drink is. Definitely better than Nuun.

Best Electrolytes I ever had! Thank you for making it!
After trying several electrolytes, I’m so delighted to say this is my favorite!It has a very mild neutral taste and no specific ingredient dominates the taste. Thank goodness it is sugar/ sweetener free and I don’t need to worry about it affecting my insulin levels in any way!Big thank you to the producers of this product for applying some basic common sense to this product!!I sliced some organic strawberries into the mix, added some celtic salt to my taste and enjoyed the best electrolytes I ever had!!

Fave Flavors
I’ve been using this powder for years now—it’s more cost efficient than the new trendy brands, helps me drink more water, and the extra electrolytes etc. help with my EDS and migraines.I’ve tried several flavors and do have favorites:Best: Peach mango—tastes almost like peach iced tea, not chemical tasting, mixes well, never get sick of it. Pineapple coconut—great for summer, somehow tastes almost creamy like a pina colada. Blueberry lemonade—what I wish the blue raspberry tasted like, love the tart kick.Middle/least memorable: Watermelon—fun for summer but I do recall some separation. Raspberry—full flavor but got sick of it before finishing the tub. Grape—less like cough syrup than I worried it would be, but not one I’ve repeat purchased. Lemonade—reliable but does have a chemical/diet aftertaste (somehow more than the blueberry lemonade).Worst/have drawbacks: Blue raspberry—tastes like a blue lollipop, which I’m into, but this one always separates especially bad and I find I get sick of it before I can finish the tub. Cherry pom—my mom’s favorite and it does have a full flavor like peach mango, but I find it a bit cloying and cough syrupy.

Great replacement for gatorade
We use it daily- great natural replacement for gatorade wthout all the extra junk. Flavor is enjoyable. Does not clump up, mixes well and seems to be very effective.

Great Flavor and Value, But Concerned About Undisclosed Sweeteners
I really enjoy the Tropical Peach Mango flavor — it's refreshing and easy to drink. I also tried the Lemon Lime, but found it far less pleasant. The price point is great, especially for 90 servings, and I appreciate that it's made in the USA.However, I was disappointed to see that the label doesn't clearly disclose which artificial sweeteners are used. Since it’s marketed as sugar-free and zero-calorie, it likely contains sweeteners like sucralose or others, but I prefer full transparency when it comes to ingredients.Overall, it’s a convenient and tasty hydration option, but I’d feel more confident if the product listed all ingredients clearly, especially for those of us who are mindful of what we consume daily.

Good quality electrolyte mix
Very happy with this electrolyte mix. Love the taste. Doesn't bother my stomach (some other brands do). Thinking about trying another flavor. My only complaint is that the price is a tad too high.
