Hi-Lyte Electrolytes for Fasting, Immune Support and Rapid Hydration | 48 Servings | NO Calories NO Sugar | 20%+ More Potassium, Magnesium & Zinc

Updated Review: I'm coming back to update my review. Initially, I rated this product as poor because of the flavor. I attempted to still give it a go because I did notice an improvement in my hydration. It turns out, the flavor issue was my fault because I failed to read the directions. SHAKE it. Shake it good and there's zero salt flavor. As I mentioned, the improvement in my hydration was noticeable and I continue adding this to my water on the daily. Will I buy it again? Absolutely, yes. I'd also like to apologize to the Hi-Lyte team who generously offered a refund, assuming my review was about a faulty product. That was very generous of you, but the product is not the problem; my reading comprehension is the problem hahaha. Old Review: No flavor = saltwater pool flavor. Very hard to choke this down. Would not buy again.

Dr. recommended adding electrolytes to prevent muscle cramps and this product works wonderfully ~ with added advantage of easily adding to any liquid without changing taste.

On my third bottle of this amazing stuff. Turns anything into "Gatorade". If added to regular water it has a salty taste, but any flavoring masks the taste. I've had no I'll affects and feel well hydrated using this product.

Great to add to any drink to make it an electrolyte drink. It lasted a long time, making it a great value vs. purchasing electrolyte specific drinks. The liquid formula obviously doesn't require much stirring to dissolve into any hot or cold beverage. I personally used it for a 100 hour fast initially, and then just added it to all my drinks after it was done. It is mostly tasteless, just a slight salty taste when you try it alone, or if you use too much it can change the taste of your drink. As long as you mix correctly, it is a great way to add electrolytes in many types of beverages for your entire family!

July 2018 and I am UPDATING my original review. I like the product. I thought it was a good deal for the price. And they did have a life long customer until I came back today and found they had jumped the purchase price more than 25% which I think is blatant greed so I am off to try some of their competitors - gonna start with Lyte-show and I'll post a review of that once I've tested it out. This review is from January 2018 I purchased Hi-Lyte for a water fast and it worked exactly as it is meant to so I had zero leg cramps and it helped assuage the hunger. If I use the full dose it tastes a bit salty so I generally underdose very slightly and I find that palatable. As a long distance runner I have been using electrolyte tablets since the 80s and Hi-Lyte is so much easier and works so well that they now have a life long customer.

I've tried several of these products and this one is the best. For one, it uses sea minerals instead which helps increase bio-absorption (Nuun, in contrast, uses magnesium oxide which absorbs horribly). It also has a bit of Zinc, which most don't, and that's always a welcome bonus, because unless you're eating a lot of shellfish, you're probably not getting enough of it. Also it's nice that it DOESN'T have calcium, because calcium competes with magnesium for absorption, meaning if you're taking a supplement with a lot of calcium too, it's likely much of the magnesium isn't being absorbed. This is important because it's likely you're already getting plenty of calcium in your regular diet, and much more likely that you're deficient in magnesium. It's also difficult to get the full RDA of potassium every day so that's a lovely bonus as well. I've taken this product for a while now and the difference is noticeable. I sleep better, and my muscles get less tight after workouts, they don't cramp, and they recover faster. It's also nice that this product is strictly the nutritional supplements of interest, leaving the task of flavoring to you to decide rather than bundling the two together. I like to put 12 drops in each 8oz glass of sparkling water I drink throughout the day, mixing in nothing except some pure lemon juice for flavor. If you ever wake up with achy muscles, or you find your muscles ever getting crampy, there's a good chance you may be magnesium deficient. Give this product a shot! However don't overdo it at first: like ALL supplements with magnesium, if you take too much, it may cause diahhrea. I find I can supplement up to 100mg of magnesium a day before I have any problems, (sometimes up to 150mg if i've done a lot of sweating). But everyone is different: some can tolerate a lot more.

I have IBS, gluten and lactose intolerant and not much of a cook so getting sufficient electrolytes was challenging and impacting other health issues. It's effective, easy to use either by the glass or larger amounts, and has no sweeteners or artificial flavors.

Tastes good!
