Nectar Hydration Packets - Electrolytes Powder Packets - Sugar Free & 0 Calorie - Organic Fruit Liquid Daily IV Hydrate Sticks for Dehydration Relief & Rapid Rehydration (Mango 18 Pack)

Love it , flavor is light, scent is barely there. No awful aftertaste, no nausea.

These are good! We usually buy LMNT but my husband finds them very salty. He enjoys these and feels like they serve a similar purpose! The flavor is somewhat diluted but still good!

I stumbled on liquid IV at Costco quite some time ago and it became a staple for me. My favorite was the Pineapple. Looked forward to the taste pretty much daily and it replaced my morning coffee for a while, but when I started wanting to grab 2 or more, I became concerned about the amount of sugar and salt in them, because let’s face it, they’re pretty darn strong. I kept finding myself adding more water to cut the sugar and it would mellow out the pineapple and I’d add some lime or lemon back in for a citrusy kick. Anyway, they became increasingly hard to find at Costco and when they do, sellers go dumb greedy and price gouge everybody, so I started thinking I needed to switch it up. I was real excited to try Nectar’s Pineapple flavored drink because of the list of clean ingredients and smaller amounts of sodium and a less sugar solution. As soon as they got here, I ripped that bag open and poured one in a glass and added the recommended 16 oz of water. The taste was a letdown. There was barely any pineapple flavor to it!!! What I COULD taste of the flavoring was good, but it needed DOUBLE what it has to be a contender with liquid IV’s taste. I also ran into sandy grit at the bottom of my glass that didn’t dissolve, although I used a hand blender. For quite some time. So I didn’t think it was my lack of mixing. I don’t know too many people that like to polish off a drink with a splash of sand at the bottom…. So the next evening, right now actually, I decided to give it another go. This time I halved the water to 8oz and still used a hand blender, for longer, and while the sediment at the bottom didn’t improve at all, the taste did. So makers of Nectar, you guys need to double the pineapple to carry it in the recommended 16 oz! For the lack of taste and what leads to having to use twice as much of the package as others, I dock a star. I dock another for the sandy grit I can’t seem to get out of my drink. I don’t have that issue with Liquid IV, or Pedialyte powder packs, or Great Value powder packs. And if the hand blender can mix up Nesquik powder for my kids in cold milk perfectly, and get collagen to dissolve in water, I don’t think it’s the blender. Until those 2 issues get resolved, I’m gonna pass on Nectar.

These are decent for the price, but the flavor isn’t as strong as I’d like. The flavors taste good, but they’re pretty faint unless you use less water or a second packet. I prefer Liquid IV, but this is a better value in a pinch.

I wanted to find an electrolyte mix that had the right balance of flavor, electrolytes (specifically sodium), and ideally no sugar. I found an article rating Nectar as the #1 pick for many reasons and decided to try it for an upcoming international trip. Travel can be exhausting, dehydrating, and expose you to all sorts of bacteria/viruses and staying well hydrated, rested, and cleaning hands/surfaces all factor into immune health. I just opened the package and tried the peach so there are so more flavors to discover but my initial impression is Flavor: light in flavor and does not taste artificial at all Sodium: in my opinion LMNT should come with a warning label due to its insane sodium content. It’s 1000mg which is almost half of the recommended daily sodium intake recommendation for adults. 1000mg is double of the average sodium content in a burger mind you. Imagine all the sodium you would get from foods and drinks throughout the day on top of that. It may be appropriate for times when you sweat profusely during intense, extended periods of exercise/labor or are overexposed to heat but is not really appropriate for the average Joe who is probably thirsty because theyre not hydrating with plain water in the first place. Nectar has 100mg per packet which is far more reasonable for my needs like hydrating while traveling or lighter forms of exercise Sugar: I personally dislike anything “diet” and have not had the best experiences with stevia-sweetened drinks in the past. However, it really doesn’t bother me with Nectar. I purchased IV hydration White Peach (also stevia) but that definitely has a stronger peach taste and sweetness as well as 510mg of sodium I think people should assess their realistic needs to use hydration packets as water is usually the best anyway. Just because things are popular and purchased OTC doesn’t necessarily mean it’s safe. Those with hypertension (high blood pressure) especially need to rethink drinking or eating tons of sodium. Overall, I give my stamp of approval and will definitely utilize it on my trip!

This electrolyte is what I was looking for. Clean ingredients. No added sugars, and no artificial flavors. I felt great when drinking during workouts. Never felt dehydrated throughout the day on a workout day. Felt energy levels high and think it is a great product here.

I really don't like the sweet/salty taste of electrolyte drinks at all, but as an adult I realized that I needed to drink them down here in the desert. My husband first bought some from this company and I didn't care for the flavors at all, and I found myself not drinking them at all. But then I looked into their other flavor selections and found out that they made them in tropical flavors and I ordered those. All of the tropical flavors are delicious and if the bottle of water is ice cold, these powdered electrolyte drinks are okay with me. The mango and the pineapple are two of my favorites. If you have a hard time getting used to these types of drinks that are good for you, try the tropical pack. You'll like them.

Taste is very faint and a bit strange. The nutrition is a bit low. I like the low sodium and low sugar, but the other electrolytes are also a bit too low to make them worth it.
