DripDrop Hydration Packets - Lemon - Single Serve Electrolytes Powder Drink Mix - Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan - 32 Sticks

Love the lemon flavor.

Great product

I recently tried DripDrop Hydration Powder Packets and I must say, I am impressed with this product. The fact that this patented formula was developed by a doctor, Dr. Eduardo Dolhun, to help with dehydration in places where IV therapy was not available is truly remarkable. It is no wonder that DripDrop’s formula received a U.S. Patent, and Dr. Dolhun was awarded the 2017 Mayo Clinic Alumni Association Humanitarian Award. What I found most fascinating about this product is its ORS science, which activates a hydration shortcut known as the sodium-glucose cotransport system. This accelerates fluid absorption into the bloodstream 2-3x faster than most other electrolyte drink mixes I have tried, allowing me to feel better faster. And, to top it all off, the flavor is unmatched. It tastes great and has 3x the electrolytes and half the sugar of most sports drinks, making it the perfect solution for those signs of dehydration caused by workouts, travel, or heat exhaustion. What's more impressive is that DripDrop is a Public Benefit Corporation on a mission to defeat dehydration globally. They use your purchases to generate life-saving donations of DripDrop to those who need it most. It's a great feeling to know that my purchase is also contributing to a good cause. Overall, I highly recommend DripDrop Hydration Powder Packets to anyone looking for a fast and effective solution to dehydration. Whether it's after a workout, travel, or just a hot day, this product is the perfect solution to stay hydrated and recover faster.

So let me start off that I don't hate this product at all, merely this is a matter of taste preference. For me I look for a lemonade, tart-type of taste to it. Hydration wise this product is great to mix into water, shake it up, and then down it to hydrate. For me the taste I can deal with, but if there was a more tart type of Lemon hydration powder, I would choose this over this product. It's not ultra-sweet by any means, but per the header... it reminds me a bit of Lemonheads candy in a way. It's not bad taste as well, but it's just a matter of what everyone's ideal taste would be. Aside from that, this is a good product.

So, feeling sheepish, as if I was betraying an old friend, I tried Liquid IV after many years of using Drip Drop. Costco now sells Liquid IV for a good price so I figured it was worth a go. Well, that was a big mistake. Lemon Drip Drop easily beats Liquid IV for taste and as someone who needs medical-grade hydration on a daily basis, taste is important to me. I have Crohn's disease and am a colorectal cancer survivor and I am perpetually mildly to moderately dehydrated. At one point, I required IV hydration every day and as a quality-of-life issue I wanted desperately to get all my hydration by mouth. At that time, I was being treated by a world-class medical team and none of them recommended trying Drip Drop but I discovered it out of desperation. My IV Nurse was AMAZED by the results and told me she'd never thought I'd be able stop with the IV hydration but I proved her wrong and haven't looked back. If it helps someone with serious electrolyte imbalance and chronic dehydration like me, you can imagine how great it would be on an as-needed basis. Now, if only my local Costco would start selling it... P.S. it also works really well on flights--I buy a cold bottle of water after going through security and mix a couple of packets in an empty bottle I bring from home, which lasts me until landing.
