My wife and I are allergic to artificial sweeteners. We carry the packets on our world travels and this probably saved my wife’s life after she got norovirus on a cruise and became severely hypokalemic ( low potassium). I will always carry this stuff
Not the cheapest considering you can usually get bottled Gatorade on sale, but this takes very little space and keeps for months. Great when you're in the backcountry for a couple of days and don't want the extra weight and bulk of regular (full-calorie) Gatorade, but don't like the taste of zero-calorie Gatorade.
