Okay, so I've been using these Sports Research electrolyte packets for about a month now and here's the real tea ☕
First off - the flavors SLAP. Like seriously, who knew hydration could taste this good? The raspberry lemonade is my personal fave, but all four options are way better than that weird medicinal taste some competitors have.
The biggest win for me? As someone who sweats like crazy during spin class, these actually keep me from turning into a human raisin. I notice a difference in my energy levels within like 20 minutes of drinking one.
Pro tip: Use more water than you think you need at first. There's definitely a salty undertone (it IS electrolytes after all), but once you find your perfect water ratio it's 👌
Only minor complaint? That slight vitamin smell when you first open the packet. But honestly after the first sip I don't even notice it anymore.
10/10 would recommend to anyone who struggles with plain water or needs serious post-workout hydration. Already put my mom onto these!
