I’m not eating and I need to keep my electrolytes up. I’ve been trying different drinks and there pretty much all awful. The best I’ve had so far is pineapple coconut water. The worst is Powerade Zero fruit punch.

It seems like whatever stuff they put in there in these drinks is the problem because many of them have this horrible bitter taste they try to hide with flavoring.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And yes, I know Brawndo has electrolytes. Very droll.

I hate to admit it but Prime actually tastes really good.

I see your posts around quite a bit. Sorry to hear you’re going thru this.

Gatorade used to be made with pickle juice. I like to cut the brine from lacto-fermented pickles into water, 1 part brine to 3 parts water. Plus there’s natural probiotic yeasts in there and extracts from the vegetables. Lots of salt, but that’s probably not the top of your concerns right now.

Take care!

Happy to see someone else posted pickle juice. But I prefer pickle juice straight from the jar.

Gatorade was made with pickle juice? Really?

And thanks.

Oops, evidently not. I’m repeating some bad info. Still, there have been studies that pickle juice does help with dehydration. Plus it’s yummy.

I stick to electrolyte water the most. I know sugar can help with absorbing electrolytes but I don’t like sugar much.

I like the BodyArmor water the best, followed by probably Smart Water and Essentia. They’re all fairly similar; I’m splitting hairs with taste. I’ll buy whatever is the cheapest or on a sale.

Sneaky caffeine content pisses me off. Bought a big thing of BCAAs at the store and didn’t realize until trying some it’s got caffeine in it.

I struggle with anxiety and caffeine is something I need to precisely control in order to keep from freezing up at work.
