KEY NUTRIENTSElectrolytes Lemon Lime 20’s Stick Packs

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.

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.

My family and I love this product. Pink lemonade is our favorite and taste like the real thing. We are very active and energy and health is very important to us. This is great for daily vitamins. The company’s customer service is also one of the best Iv dealt with

I really like this product. It’s not loaded with sugar or crappy fillers. It does have a slight vitamin taste but I like it. I add plenty of ice and I find it refreshing and also reassuring that I’m getting some benefits as well. My son likes the lemon lime better. I’m slowly trying the other flavors to find a favorite. It’s not cheap but the container has 90 servings so it lasts a while and it’s less expensive than bottled drinks.

I typically don't give much credit to electrolyte drinks, as they just seem like flavored water to me, however this product definitely changed my mind. I've tried the popular Liquid I.V. brand before, but the flavors and minerals in these are way better. The Acai Berry flavor tastes like an actual juice... so good. My only gripe is that the sachets within the box use a super small font for the flavor name. The colors are distinct as well, which helps, but I always like to read the actual flavor I want to use, and it can take a minute to find where it is written as it is so small.

This doesn’t taste as good as a liquid IV, but it doesn’t taste bad. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. I work outside and it definitely helps that there are 90 servings!!! I don’t need to spend $16 for 10. What a deal from this brand. Good stuff.

I bought this variety box to try and compare to Liquid IV. The flavors I tried, Acai and blueberry lemonade, tasted pretty good but I wasn't a fan of it coloring the water. It didn't fully dissolve and there would be remaining undissolved powder in the bottom of my blender bottle or glass. This powder also gave me a headache that's I had hard time getting rid of.

I've been using Key Nutrients Multivitamin Electrolyte Powder in the pink lemonade flavor, and I absolutely love it. The flavor is spot-on – not too sweet or fake tasting like other brands I've tried. It adds a refreshing twist to my water, making it much easier to stay hydrated throughout the day.The powder mixes in well with water, but I've found it's best to add ice after mixing to avoid any clumping around the ice. Once I figured that out, it dissolved smoothly every time.Overall, this multivitamin electrolyte powder has been a fantastic addition to my daily routine. It tastes great, mixes easily, and provides a convenient way to boost my hydration and nutrient intake. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a delicious and effective electrolyte supplement!

We have tried 4 or 5 of these now and loved each flavour so far. Peach mango was really good. This brand is our go-to electrolyte powder. I use it either in the morning to help with hydration, or during a workout. I have also used it while sick to help with dehydration. I like that it comes in a tub as opposed to little packets. I find it a better value this way.

The only negative in my opinion is that it has sweeteners. The taste is pretty good though.

This is a great product. I read the reviews and purchased on sale. The taste is good and definitely something I’m glad I purchased. I’d probably buy again but wait for a sale.

Tastes pretty good 🍊

Main complaint is that for most people who already have more than enough sodium in their diets, this has even more of it. If you're a pro athlete and you eat nothing but vegetables then there's an argument for it, but to the average person who's using it to supplement their diet and workout routine it's a huge minus.
