Hydration Drinks

Mountain ops hydrate packets. Taste so good I find myself craving the flavor on the mountain, which results in me drinking a ton more

Salt and water in whatever form you can consume. It's all i ever need. Pills work great. Consumption before activity (preloading) is very effective, as long as you continue to hydrate during exersion.

I might try the link that was posted above for the diy mix.

Liquid IV is what I pretty much use. You can get it at Costco and fairly inexpensive compared to mtn ops or wilderness athlete.

Just saw too in my local grocery store Liquid IV came out with sugar free packets now. Def a great move

Going to have to look for that sugar free one! Thanks for the heads up!

They’ve had the sugar free ones for a while now. I’ve tried a couple of the flavors and like em.

I mix Liquid IV half strength. 1 tube to a nalgene. Adds enough flavor to keep me pouring water in which is what I really want it for anyway.

The added stuff is a bonus

I stopped using the WA Hydrate and Recover because the 1st 2 ingredients are Fructose and Maltodextrin. I've dropped as much sugar and artificial sweeteners as possible from my diet. Right now I'm searching for a replacement.

Protekt makes good ones

LMNT is absolutely amazing and tastes great. It can be too much for a lot of people (unless youre really sweating etc you do not need that many electrolytes) Also if you are killing it with miles etc and dont care about the added sugar than gatorade is a solid go toad its cheap.
