Example Brands I Recommend
Brands to steer clear of...
- Liquid IV: HERE - Even just looking at the ingredient label, the first two ingredients are "Cane Sugar, Dextrose..." - aka two different forms of sugar. It also does not contain ANY Calcium OR Magnesium.
- Gatorade: HERE - Marketed as "zero sugar", these tablets ALSO do not contain ANY Calcium OR Magnesium. There are three forms of SUGAR on the ingredients list that are disguised...can you spot them?? (Answer: Sorbitol, Maltodextrin, & Sucralose).
- Zip Fizz: HERE - Unfortunately, these are readily available at convenience stores and Costco! The ingredient list on these is far too long (maltodextrin, silica, sucralose, dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, grape seed extract, etc.). Also, if you workout / sweat quite a bit, there's only 70mg of sodium in here - you're gonna need way more than this!
