Electrolyte Beverage Powder - Electrolyte Powder, Isotonic Electrolyte Drink Mix, Electrolyte Drink Mix. Sodium, Potassium, Vitamin B1 B2 B6, Vitamin C - Orange Flavor (8.8 Oz Box, 4 Count)

ITEM:Royal-D Electrolyte Beverage Powder (4 Assorted Flavors - 10 [25g] packets each)PROS:Nice, tasty assortment of flavors that mix easily in water & aren't made with any fake sugars. You get 40 packets in total, so after mixing with water, that's equivalent to 40 sports drinks for a decent price. If you like Tang or Kool-Aid, you or your kids probably won't mind drinking these to get your electrolytes or Vitamin C.CONS:Packet labeling is mainly in Thai, so you'll need to remember the English mixing recommendations & nutrition info from the outer wrapping. They are basically sugar water powder mixes with some vitamins or electrolytes, but they're also supposedly just 100 calories per serving, so not really that bad.FINAL THOUGHTS:They recommend mixing with 250cc of pure water, which is almost 8.5oz, but I'd recommend just using 8oz, if you want it to be tastier. And on the flipside, if you would prefer a less sweet flavor, add a bit more water. I prefer drinks made with real sugars over fake sweeteners, so these are sweet & tasty. More something to drink after a workout than something you'd want a kid to drink with each meal, but at least they're also serving a function by proving electrolytes and/or vitamins. Three reminded me of other drinks I already enjoy, so I think that's why my favorite was actually the strawberry one (because it was something new to my tastebuds). Here's a breakdown of each flavor in this set...Orange Flavor (metallic orange packet) - has 100% Daily Supply of Vitamin C; once mixed, has a bright orange opaque color very similar to Tang & similar in flavor as wellassortment of fruit in green & orange on packet (white packet with thin green diagonal stripes) - has kind of a clear limeade color (similar to lemon-lime Gatorade) after mixing, but pretty much tastes like an orange, citrus-y flavorGrape Flavor (white packet with thin purple diagonal stripes) - clear purple after mixing with water; similar in look & taste to grape GatoradeStrawberry Flavor (white packet with thin fuchsia diagonal stripes) - a pretty clear dark pink after mixing with water; light strawberry flavor

I've been using these electrolyte packets for a while now. It is a good value for your money however there are some other brand of electrolyte packets that I feel like have better flavors. My kids did enjoy the flavors however I wish they had more flavors to choose from.

I got the variety pack of these to try out. They come in four smaller boxes all shrink wrapped together and had no damage.They are all from Thailand and the packaging is all done in Thai. They do have a sticker placed on the box with nutritional information and mixing instructions, like many products from other countries which are sold in the US. I noticed immediately that they are all quite high in sugar at 23 or more grams of sugar per packet. They also have a fair amount of sodium, and a small amount of B vitamins and vitamin C.They come in big square packets so they aren't easy to pour into a water bottle, not that it is impossible, it just makes them not great for on the go use and lends themselves more toward use in a glass. It's also unusual that they give the mixing instructions in cc of water. This is the first time I've seen this, other countries us ml when giving mixing instructions on products. It's easy enough to figure, if you don't already know that 1cc is the same as 1ml though. Not a big problem, just odd. They do mix into water fairly easily which isn't surprising as they are almost completely sugar.So the first flavor I tried was the orange. It is the only one of the four flavors mixes with a different amount of water. This one says to mix it with 400cc/ml of water. This produces a drink which is very sweet tasting, but in the realm of acceptable. It also looks like watered down Tang. It also has the flavor of a weak and slightly salty Tang. In the end I think it is the best tasting of the four flavors.,The next was the strawberry. This and the other two flavors all recommend 250cc/ml of water to mix with one packet. This produced a drink which is super sweet. It has a slightly weak and definitely artificial strawberry flavor. Maybe it's because I don't drink a lot of soda or other sugary drinks, but I felt it was was too sweet. I immediately decided to increase the amount of water per packet for the remaining flavors.Next I tried the grape flavor, I used 300cc/ml of water with it. It does seem to effect the grape flavor though. It has the classic artificial grape flavor which most people are familiar with, but it is much weakened by the additional 50cc/ml of water. Despite seeming to have a big impact on the flavor, it doesn't have a huge impact on the sweetness. I feel that 300cc/ml of water is probably the best amount though.The final was the mixed fruit flavor. I used 300cc/ml of water with it as well. It had pretty much the same result as the grape flavor. Not a huge impact on sweetness and it has a generic and watered down none distinct fruit flavor. I stand by my statement that 300cc/ml is the best amount to use.In the end I felt that they overall are too sweet, with the distinctive tastes of artificial fruit flavors you are likely very familiar with. Yet they are also fairly weak in the actual flavors. You can try adjusting the amount of water to help with the sweetness, but it has only a small effect on the sweetness, but has a disproportionate impact on the flavor. Perhaps if I drank more high sugar drinks regularly, I wouldn't find these to be too sweet. I ultimately can't give them a high rating.

As a daily consumer of electrolytes, I took the opportunity to test this product. Upon initial inspection, I was slightly suspicious as the product descriptions weren’t in English. I didn’t want to deter my test though, so I continued to try the product. I was surprised to see the 100 calories and 23 grams of sugar per pack; far higher than comparable electrolytes. The product mixed easily in water but I noticed some unidentifiable particulates floating in the drinks. The flavors are subpar and very artificial tasting. The cost isn’t very high, but the quality is questionable. Unfortunately, based on the quality and sugar content in this product, I cannot recommend this product. Thanks.

It's frustrating that ingredient and nutrition info are not in English so I don't exactly what's in this. The only English says 100% daily vitamin C and that it contains vitamins B1, B2, B6. I like that it has been vitamins for energy along with the vitamin C. I initially thought this was an electrolyte beverage however can't tell from the package. It dies seem to help with hydration better than just water though. No English instruction on how much water to mix rach packet with. If you want a very sweet stronger tasting beverage, I would use 8 0z. 12- 16 for a less sweet more mild flavor. Flavor is good but reminds me more of a Sunny D type beverage vs. real fruit juice.
