Kate Naturals Orange Electrolytes Powder 4oz Vegan, Instant Electrolytes, Restore Energy, Prevent Dehydration, Eliminate Cramps, Non-GMO, Keto-Friendly. Zero Sugar.

There seems to be some oversight in this product. First, the label: the print is SO tiny that I *literally* had to use a magnifying glass to read it. Once I used the magnifying glass I was able to read it… BUT… while it provides some info, NO WHERE does it tell you how much water to mix with the powder! I am familiar with this type of product (and I prefer to mix my own, using powder or tablets, in order to avoid buying yet more plastic), so I had to experiment on my own. Here is what I found: a “serving size” is 1/3 tbsp… so I put that amount in a bottle, and started with 12 oz of water. The taste was good and pretty strong (stronger than I like it). I added more water to get up to 16oz, and it was still strong for me. I then went to 20 oz and while weaker, it was still a little strong for me… at which point I went to a full 32oz, which I found to be weak. I admit that I tend to prefer weaker flavor on these types of drinks anyway, and 1/3 tbsp with 32 oz was too weak even for me. Based on my experience with similar products, I *think* the intent is that this be mixed with 12-16oz of water (but admittedly, that is a guess based on my past experience with similar products/tastes). Obviously everyone has different preferences, but to compare this to similar products I think you should assume it would be mixed with 12-16 oz of water based on your preference, and you could add even more water if desired but will definitely weaken the flavor. The flavor is pretty good - nice orange flavor though a bit sweeter than expected and a little less tart. It is great that it doesn’t have that ‘salty’ flavor that some electrolyte products can have… also, the sodium content is a little lower than typical products as well. Overall, I like the flavor, and the value is good as it costs approx. 50 cents per serving (with the serving size being determined based on how strong/weak you prefer the flavor). The product labeling needs work though.

At one point in my life, I drank a lot of sports drinks. Many are filled with sugar and salt, much more than you need. When working hard, sweating, it is good to replenish your electrolytes, but many products contain more than you really need. While this may contain more than I need, it was not overly sweet and packed with calories like many have.This is a very small bottle, only 4 ounces, but contains 20 servings (1/3 tbsp per serving). But what is missing is how much water to add to that 1/3 tbsp. I also don't have a way to measure 1/3 tbsp, so kind of guessing how much to use to add to an unknown amount of water. I probably was closer to 1/2 tbsp, added to about 8 ounces of water, and it tasted a bit strong. Drank some, added some more water, and it tasted a bit watered down. So certainly directions would be a great addition.But a bit strong or a bit weak, I still liked it. It is not super sweet like some sports drinks, and not salty either. And it has a nice orange flavor. Not like juice, but like an orange soda without the bubbles or sweetness of soda, but that kind of orange flavor. I had been working outside most of the afternoon, sweating, and this was a nice treat when I came in for the night. I have several more days of work outside I need to do, so perhaps next time I will mix some into a larger bottle to bring it outside with me (again, directions would be great).In looking at the product page, their nutrition facts have a serving as one packet (mine had no packets), but also no mixing information I could find. So I would suggest about 1/3 tbsp to about 8 ounces of water, but you may find you want more or less. Good product.

A serving size of this electrolyte powder is only 1/8 tsp. It is a small container that fits right into a backpack to carry along with you. I am blind and I do not drive, so I wind up with some cramps if I let myself get dehydrated walking every where during the hotter months. Having a convenient easy to pack with me drink mix with electrolyte replacement is really cool. The flavor is good. It has light, but somehow familiar orange taste to it that reminds of something I cannot seem to recall. It has a good concentration of standard electrolytes and is sweetened with Stevia instead of being loaded with sugar or high fructose corn syrup like some sports drinks. My only concern is that there several ingredients on the label that for some reason are not included in the nutritional facts and that seems kind of strange to me. But, my overall opinion of Kate Naturals Orange Electrolytes Powder is positive, and I hope they try making some other flavors in the future.
