LMNT
4.4
(27)
"I really like LMNT I love the powders but recently tried the cans and they are even better."
"LMNT >>>>>"
"I’m loving LMNT"
"I think LMNT is probably best in aus, albeit expensive."
"LMNT - has many different flavors, sugar free, and 1000mg of sodium (2.5 grams of salt)"
"I've only tried the chocolate one so far but it's SO good in coffee. Better than I expected."
"LMNT has been extremely effective for my very low BP that made me faint back in Oct."
"LMNT! I refuse to drink anything else, they changed the game!"

#2
Liquid IV
4.0
(21)
"Firecracker!"
"Firecracker is my favorite out of your selection."
"Obsessed with liquid iv. I like cherry and lemon lime. Like others, I use 1/3 or 1/2 packet at a time with extra water."
"Firecracker is my favorite. You don’t have Lemon Lime here but that is my second choice."
"Liquid IV is the only thing I've used. I love their cherry and fruit punch flavors"
"Liquid IV has a lot of sodium and potassium, and overconsumption can lead to an electrolyte imbalance. So, just be mindful of how much you use every day."
"Liquid IV is great, but you do have to be sure to limit yourself to one packet per day, mostly due to potential issues with getting too much Vitamin B."
"The sugar free white peach is great!"
"I believe LMNT, Liquid IV, and Trioral are some preferred brands for POTS and some of them are unflavoured and unsweetened."
"My top 5 electrolyte drinks are: Liquid IV"
#3
Pedialyte
4.0
(15)
"Pedialyte is the way to go. I order it on Amazon in bulk with speciality flavors."
"I use Pedialyte instead of the powders... its more cost effective and I dilute one full bottle of pedialyte every day with 1 gallon of water."
"I use Pedialyte instead of the powders... its more cost effective and I dilute one full bottle of pedialyte every day with 1 gallon of water."
"Its more cost effective and I dilute one full bottle of pedialyte every day with 1 gallon of water."
"I skipped the powers and drink pedialyte. Life changing for me."
"For me, nothing works like pedialyte, honestly… i freeze it in popsicle molds and have it that way so i don’t feel as nauseous."
"My friend who’s had ME/CFS for decades swears by Pedialyte."
"Pedialyte"
"Pedialyte."

#4
Normalyte
4.3
(13)
"Normalyte legit the greatest thing ever helps me so so much"
"Normalyte. It’s the only one on the market that’s been used and backed by a study."
"Normalyte. By far. Works and tastes so much better than any electrolyte drink I ever tried."
"NormaLyte is one of the very best for getting you hydrated quickly."
"Normalyte has been my favorite so far."

"Normalyte"
"Normalyte & LMNT"
"Normalyte has given my skin zero reaction. I like the taste of grape and apple a lot!"
"The stuff genuinely helps my symptoms too."
#5
Tri-Oral
3.9
(8)
"Trioral is a much cheaper alternative to Normalyte & they follow the WHO rehydration formula just like Normalyte."
"Trioral is my go-to! I used to drink a lot of LMNT also, but have been struggling with gut dysbiosis for the last year or so, and LMNT aggravates it significantly."
"Trioral has enough glucose to help with absorption but is otherwise unflavored."
"Trioral from US amazon is the most affordable way to get one with lots of sodium and is made based on the WHO formula."
"I use trioral"
"I mix trioral, a scoop of glacier cherry Gatorade powder (the real sugar one, it's also the only one without dyes if you care about that) and 32oz of water."
"What I've found to work for me is Trioral. They're unflavored packets that you can mix with anything you want."
"Tri-Oral. Effective, approved by WHO, but it tastes like jizz."
#6
DripDrop
4.1
(7)
"I love Drip Drop-the apple cinnamon is my favorite, I drink it hot!"
"Drip Drop is my fave, it’s more pricy."
"I alternate LMNT and Drip Drop and use Klaralyte tabs."
"I think DripDrop doesn’t have artificial sugars in it."
"I’ve been using drip drop (i’m just finishing my first box), and it’s pretty good. doesn’t taste too bad, and it only needs 8oz of water vs the usual 16oz."
"I prefer dripdrop, Walgreens and cvs has started carrying it in stores"
"I personally use drip drops as they are sugar free. I heavily dilute them and you should too."
#7

"My top 5 electrolyte drinks are: Gatorade/Powerade"

"Gatorade."
"I drink Propels by Gatorade or Poweraid Zeros. Propels have 0g, Poweraid has under 1g. Or you can get MiOs with Electrolytes."
"Gatorade/powerade/propel/mio with electrolytes all contain trace amounts of electrolytes, and are going to be insufficient to getting what you need."

LytePow
