Trace Minerals | Power Pak Electrolyte Powder Packets | 1200 mg Vitamin C, Zinc, Magnesium | Boost Immunity, Hydration and Natural Energy | Lemon Lime | 30 Packets

I tried this product in the hopes that it would help my body better absorb the water I drink. It's better than I had hoped for, and it actually tastes good too!For the last several years, I've been trying to find an effective electrolyte/vitamin C product. I've tried every mix and supplement I could find, ranging from the cheap to the very expensive, but none of them worked (a few of them would have a slight effect for 2 weeks, but then stop working). I've always had severely dry skin, despite having a very clean vegan diet, and everything I drink tends to rush through my system without actually hydrating me. It was typical for me to wake up 3 times a night just to use the bathroom, each time also feeling very thirsty. My diet is naturally low in sodium, and further reducing my sodium intake had no effect other than making me crave salt.In October of 2013, I saw this product on the shelf of my local Whole Foods and decided to try it. I was immediately impressed with the taste - it's satisfyingly tart and sweet. Mind you, I put 1 packet in 16-20oz of water, not the 6-8oz recommended (I find it just as effective, and 1 packet per cup of water is just too strong of a flavor for me). During the rest of that day, I noticed I didn't feel as thirsty as I usually do, and didn't have to run to the bathroom every 2 hours. I continued to use it, adding a packet to my water bottle every time I filled it up. In addition to fewer bathroom visits, I also noticed some other very positive effects:- I could finally exercise outside in the sun without getting a headache. Before discovering the Trace Minerals electrolyte drink mix, I would get horrible headaches after spending more than 30 minutes walking or running in the sun. Nothing would get rid of them, and I'd just have to wait for them to fade away on their own. Now, I drink some before my run and add it to the water I drink during my run. I haven't gotten a headache since.- My skin is much smoother and looks better. The last time my mom saw me, she exclaimed "Your skin looks AMAZING!" The only change I had made since our previous visit was drinking the Trace Minerals mix regularly.- I have less of a sweet tooth, and I don't crave salt anymore. Sometimes when I want something sweet after a meal, just drinking some water with the electrolyte mix in it will satisfy my craving. That's helped me a lot as I try to lose a couple vanity pounds. Also, I've always craved salt. Although my diet is low sodium, I would sprinkle RealSalt on every meal I had. I felt like I couldn't get enough salt. However, after drinking the electrolyte mix my cravings have greatly reduced. Now I add very little, if any, salt to my food and I don't constantly crave it.- In addition to looking better, my skin is much more hydrated. I used to have to apply lotion after every shower, and to my hands every time after washing them. Otherwise, my hands would feel horribly dry, and the skin on my arms and legs would feel so dry it would itch. I had to have a little bottle of lotion in every purse and backpack I own, even during the summer. Since using the electrolyte mix, I almost never use lotion. My skin never feels dry/itchy anymore and I only have to apply lotion to my hands a couple of times a month during the cold months.Overall, this product has become a lifesaver for me. I'm incredibly impressed with it, and I'll continue to take it every day.

I am 81 yrs in A+ health except DRY! I drink 72oz water. This has improved my dryness in my mouth, & throat & esophagus. I am still working on improving my blood pressure by exercising which keeps me safe from diabetic & other old age problems. I take vitamins C, B’s, A in large amounts & credit this for my ability to avoid major illnesses.

I've been buying these for many years. I use one any time I feel a little. I can tell I need them when my thirst isn't quenched no matter how much water I drink. I can tell they work because the unquenchable thirst goes away. Very scientific, right? ;-)The single-serving packets are convenient for travel or other take-along purposes. I've only had the lemon-lime flavor, which tastes like not-great lemonade. Next time I'll try one of the many new flavors.This is a healthier alternative to the ubiquitous artificially flavored neon colored sports drinks, and much more convenient than lugging around a bottle of Gatorade.

Power Paks are my favorite for maintaining electrolyte balance. They help hydrate you quickly and can knock out a cramp in under 60 seconds. IMO the orange tastes better, but this flavor isn't bad. They aren't overloaded with sugar so they do have more of a tart flavor. Amazon has the best price anywhere on these!

Love these, they taste good and give you the necessary minerals. I had a neighbor who said it took away her muscle cramps she was having at night after working out. She now takes them daily.

Well, I bought these to saty hydrated on a road trip and they have really impressed me. We wound up on a rigorous hike in the heat of the South in late summer. I had these in my pocket and when we realized we had taken the wrong hike that was far harder than anticipated these saved the day. We were very depleted, sweaty, and worn out and these gave us the boost we needed to make it back. The taste isn't great but I didn't expect it to be. It is palatable. Grateful for the natural ingredients because my kids are able to take it too. This will replace other electrolytic drinks for us. My kids love it!

I am a nearly 70-year old swimmer, being the member of a Masters swim team. Our workouts caused me to get leg cramps until I started adding a packet of this product to the water I keep pool side and ingest during workouts. It stopped the cramping, so I like the product very much and continue to use it. You may ask why I gave 3 stars out of a possible 5, if it is doing its job? The reason is that many, many of the packets have leaked, with the granules being attacked by humidity. As a result of the attack, instead of being fine granules that easily mix with water, the contents of the packets a hardened, stuck-together "wafers" that (1) stick to the packets, (2) won't dissolve easily, and (3) taste stale.

i ride my mountain bike pretty much every other day. i drink one of these every day and have for at least a year. the newest formula is the best. i only really like the orange and the lemon lime. it's got just enough flavor to be drinkable. as far as value, it absolutely destroys all the gatorades, powerades, vitamin water, all that crap. it's way cheaper and has more electrolytes than all of those combined. i'm always turning people on to this stuff and they're always shocked by the nutritional value. i don't understand why more people don't know about it.
