Re-hydrates better than heavy liquid versions
Purchased this hydration vitamin to help with our long hikes in hot weather, to replace carrying heavy liquid as replacements.  The other liquid ones worked good, but we were not sure if they were strong enough or worth the weight to carry.  So far this one seems more potent for the both of us & helps both of us more for than the liquid versions.<br /><br />We purchased this vitamin supplement to help us make it through hikes, without getting dehydrated & to replenish essential electrolytes to keep our energy up.  When this supplement arrived, we always check to see if the pills are sealed tight, and these were sealed very well...The pills come 3 to a pack & each one was sealed tight; each packet also has a pull tab to open easily, which none were ripped.<br /><br />The pills are light brown with darker speckles in color and are an average medium size for most vitamin supplements.  When the pills arrived we opened them and they had a light vitamin smell, which we thought was good, since it might be full of the needed nutrients & not just filler.  The packet says to take 1 tablet with 8 oz of water...wait 20 minutes to take another...and no more than 12 per day.<br /><br />Our family doctor recommended we start taking some type of hydration replacement (when we take long hikes) because my wife already had some problems with becoming dehydrated since we moved west.  We tried these out for 3 days (one day lifting, one day running & the last day hiking) & for us it seems we only needed one pill each with 12 oz of water.  Which was more than enough for both of us & kept us hydrated for hours with no thirst or dry lips.  The only time we might take extra pills, is if it is very hot out or if we are taking a full day or very long hike.<br /><br />Pros:<br />Easy to take, medium size pill<br />Not bitter & no bad aftertaste<br />Helps to revive us & keep us hydrated<br />&  They seem to work quickly<br /><br />Cons:<br />Has a few other ingredients, that are not needed...this is a major complaint we have with many different supplements.<br /><br />Overall we love this re-hydrating vitamin supplement and would recommend these to everyone looking for help with staying hydrated during exercise or outdoor activities when you lose electrolytes faster or if you just need a boost after a night out drinking (which our friend says they work great on as well).<br /><br />Thank you for you time & interest in our review; Greg, Tina & Family
