Needed. Hydration Support with Electrolytes & Trace Minerals – Electrolytes for Pregnancy & During Lactation – 30 Hydration Packets Lightly Sweetened with Real Fruit, Variety

Clean Sugar-Free Ingredients!
I suffered from horrible morning sickness and was not getting proper fluids. I LOATHE sugars and artificial sweeteners, and I especially loathe stevia. Yes, these taste like salt, but it’s not a big deal, get over it. Sugar is poison and these are sugar-free. I didn’t mind the flavors. The only issue I had with these is as I entered the end of my second trimester and now am in my third, these exacerbate my heartburn so I stopped using them. I like all flavors. Grapefruit gave me the least amount of heartburn. I definitely recommend them because of the clean, sugar-free ingredients and I did feel good after drinking them. I feel guilty about the packaging and the price is a wee high.

Be warned
The reviews were no joke, these taste like battery acid. I’m not even picky with flavors and I don’t prefer very sweet drinks. These are truly gross. I will finish the pack because they are very expensive but I would never rebuy and it makes me skeptical of the brands other products.

Flavor is meh
I read the reviews before buying, but I was willing to take a risk. 50% of people voted 5 stars so I figured I’d flip the coin. I am assuming the formula is what my body needs to hydrate well, especially while pregnant. I have otherwise been drinking LMNT, which tastes great, but is pretty high in sodium, and affects my acid reflux while pregnant. So far, Needed has no impact on my acid reflux, so it’s nice to have when I feel dehydrated but have a bad reflux day.Like many reviewers say, the flavor isn’t great. In my opinion, the flavor is not bad, it’s just nearly nonexistent. Definitely drinkable. There’s a hint of seawater flavor for sure. That doesn’t put me off, though, it just doesn’t really have much flavor. Post pregnancy (without the reflux), I’ll probably go back to my preferred hydration supplements over this one.

Tastes pretty bad
I was very excited to try this electrolyte powder since I have tried other Needed products in the past that I have really enjoyed. Unfortunately, this really does taste like pool water. I really like salty things so I was expecting to like it but it tastes so much like a pool that it really isn’t even that salty. I really wanted to like it but it really does taste quite bad.Update: While I still cannot recommend this electrolyte powder, I can say that I recommend shopping from Needed. They were very helpful and reached out to me looking to resolve my issues with this particular product. They provide great customer service and they have not lost a customer with me – I just might not try this specific product again.
