I know it seems like this stuff would have fairy dust sprinkled in it, but it actually contains vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, and vitamin C and claims to enhance rapid absorption of water and key ingredients into the bloodstream. You can learn more about when and how to use electrolyte drinks here.
Promising reviews: “Listen, I’m going to be straight up, I mostly use these to recover after a night of drinking too much alcohol and not nearly enough water. Yes, it definitely works for hiking, when it’s warm, etc. However, I’m thinking some of you have come here because you want a hangover remedy. This. Is. IT! I’ve used this at countless birthday parties, bachelorette parties, or a night when the grocery store had BOGO wine. I drink one of the packets before I even start drinking, another friend of mine will drink hers after she drank but before she goes to bed, and another friend takes it the next morning. All three of us seem to have good results. Some people are balking at the flavor. I’ve tried this and their lemon lime version, and I give a slight advantage to this one. Look, it’s full of electrolytes so it’s not going to taste like Sunny D. Just guzzle it and be thankful you won’t feel like death.” —Jen PDX
“I purchased these to use while in Mexico at an all-inclusive resort (I knew I’d be enjoying many margaritas!). Recently, I had been experiencing hangovers from even one or two glasses of wine so I was worried about drinking alcohol on vacation. THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!! I used one packet during the day and one before bed and had ZERO symptoms of a hangover the next day. Same for my husband and he drank a lot more alcohol than me LOL! It did make me thirsty overnight night due to the high sodium content, but I was expecting that. Highly recommend!!” —Jamie Rathbun
