TRIORALRehydration Electrolyte Powder - WHO Hydration Supplement Salts Formula - Combat Dehydration from Workouts, Fluid Loss and Much More - 100 Drink Mix Packets

This is a great value for what you get. My box expires sometime in 2023 and all 100 packets were there. As a WHO recipe hydration solution, rapid absorption is guaranteed due to the ration of sugar and electrolytes (an oversimplified explanation) when mixed with the recommended 1 liter of water.If you’re dehydrated or sweating like someone working (or working out) in 100+ degree weather, this is what you want. Yes, Nuun, Fluid, liquid I.V. Will do the job, but the value here is phenomenal. Each packet can truly make 4 times the solution that one satchel of liquid IV would give you at Liquid IV’s electrolyte levels, and it will give you way more than One Nuun Sport tablet. Want some flavor? Add some orange Tang powder, kool aid, lemonade mix, etc. Yes, it’s a bit salty but it has a lot of sodium. It’s supposed to taste like that.Pretty good stuff here. Yes, you could buy the ingredients in bulk and make your own, but these are so convenient and sealed in single serving size and the cost so reasonable it’s worth it.

I am an avid cyclist and would regularly ride 50 milers with no issues. Never had an issue with cramps, even when going 70 or 80 miles. 2 yrs ago I had major reconstructive knee surgery and was off the bike for over a year. Needless to say, when I got back on I was FAR from where I was prior to the surgery. I slowly worked my way back up the miles, but for some reason, kept hitting the 38 mile mark and getting MAJOR cramps in my legs. They were so bad that I had to get off the bike for 10 or 15 minutes to get them to relax enough to continue. I tried some other electrolyte/salt solutions but nothing really helped.A biking buddy of mine, who is also a doctor, told me I needed replenishing salts. I had always just used pickle juice and electrolyte drinks. He has the medical background so I figured he probably knew what he was talking about. He gave me 4 packs of Trioral salts. The next ride I did, I put it in my water. It was HORRIBLE to put it bluntly. It was just a bottle of salty water, which is NOT an appealing taste when riding. To be honest, I didn't drink it at all.Fast forward to my first attempt at a 50 miler again. This time I put it into my lemon flavored, sugar free electrolyte drink. That made ALL the difference. The lemon flavor made the saltiness almost disappear, making it easier to drink. I used one pack between my 2 bottles and, for the beginning, it worked great.Hit a rough patch about 40 miles in. My buddy had me put some of the salt directly in my mouth with some water and hold it there for 2 minutes. LITERALLY 2 minutes is all it took and the leg cramps DISAPPEARED!!!!! I was honestly in shock it worked that fast.You may need to play around with how much you use as everyone's body is different. I found that, even tho it says 1 pouch is good for 1 liter of fluid, I need 1 pouch per water bottle (25 oz bottle is my size). My friend only needs half per bottle and that works for him. Since the price works out to about 40 cents per pack when you buy 100, it isn't a bad price at all.Overall, I highly recommend this to keep you going no matter what exercise you are doing!

Having POTS and dysautonomia makes drinking plain water about the equivalent of trying to water concrete.TLDR; This stuff works. Even for people who REALLY struggle to "absorb" water or other hydration drinks.Over the years I've found very few ways to hydrate - getting saline infusions multiple times a week, Liquid IV, and diet dr. pepper.- Even with insurance, infusions aren't cheap. Not to mention the time it requires to go in and get them - plus where I live, they are done at the cancer center, and I never feel great about taking up a treatment room.- Liquid IV has steadily become less affordable as they've shifted their market away from people with POTS.- And while it's (somewhat) affordable, drinking 4-8 liters+ of diet Dr. Pepper a day also means taking in a ton of aspartame and other additives, and it definitely isn't portable.Last year I hit a breaking point when I realized that even when buying in bulk, I was still spending over $300/month on liquid IV and I started to look into why it was that LIV worked while other hydration drinks didn't.Over the years I've tried different hydration drinks, mixes, and pills - individually - over a period of 2 weeks to 2 months. It seemed like the ones with a little sugar worked better (with the exception of diet Dr Pepper - and the only thing I can figure is it is one of the "23" secret ingredients mixed with aspartame).To give you an idea, I have become severely dehydrated drinking gatorade. I hadn't had any luck with water, Gatorade, Powerade, DripDrop, Ultima, coconut water, etc; or while taking SaltTabs. Nuun tablets worked to an extent but were counterintuitive because it would make me nauseous.This is the fourth solution I've found to being able to hydrate adequately and the ONLY method that is (A) affordable and (B) doesn't contain ingredients I'd rather not consume in mass quantities.Using 1/2 packet in 1/2 gallon 2-4 times a day has worked as well as getting infusions or using 8-10 packets of LIV. (When I'm out and about I just fold over the top of the Trioral packet a couple times, I've considered getting a portable snack sealer to toss on a keychain and attach to my water bottle)Trioral = $.80-1.60/day versus Liquid IV = $11.84-17.76/dayIf drinking Trioral in plain water, I won't lie, it is definitely an acquired tasted, but it's doable. I'll drink it plain, add it to other drinks, add flavoring, or infuse it with fruit or cucumbers.On average, I've saved about $408 a month using Trioral.If you struggle with hydration the way I do, you know what an impossible and frustrating situation staying hydrated can be. Trioral has been an absolute game-changer for my quality of life.

This is the only electrolyte mix I've found that has no artificial sweeteners nor excessive sugar, except ~12g glucose/liter to enable absorbtion. It tastes a a bit salty, and that's fine with me.

These are the most cost effective, high quality hydration salts I’ve used. I have pots syndrome and it is very important to stay salty! These packs are for 1 liter of water and contain almost 1,700 mg salt. For someone who needs 6,000-10,000 mg salt per day, these come in handy! They are unflavored, so make sure to grab some flavored water bottle packets of your choice to add to them if you don’t want to taste plain salty water! At around $30 for 100 packs you just can’t beat the price!
