Needed. Hydration Support with Electrolytes & Trace Minerals

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.

So grateful to find something with such clean ingredients that helps me stay hydrated. Easily dissolves and all the flavors taste great, I truly can’t pick a favorite. Could be a little less sweet for my taste but not a biggie. Be warned because they are naturally pigmented that they will stain clear reusable straws (like for a Stanley)

So salty and frankly flavorless. I know it has the minerals I need but it’s not worth it. Will look for a different post partum option.

The best electrolytes we’ve tried so far. I love grapefruit and this taste is pleasantly flavorful (salty as all electrolytes without excessive sugar are - but well-balanced and palatable.) Our second box. The individual packets are easily portable.

These were okay. I wasn’t a big fan of the flavors or taste. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. I did love the ingredients in these.

I had the worst metallic taste in my mouth during my first trimester whenever I tried to drink plain water. Just the thought of water sounded absolutely terrible, so staying hydrated was way harder than I expected. Adding Needed to my water made such a difference because it gave it just enough flavor to make it actually drinkable without being too sweet or overwhelming when I was already feeling nauseous. It honestly became one of the only ways I could consistently get fluids in during those early weeks. I also loved having the extra electrolytes on days when I was feeling especially drained, queasy, or just generally not myself. It felt like a really easy way to support hydration when pregnancy was making even the simplest things harder. Definitely one of those products I was genuinely grateful to have on hand and would absolutely keep stocked for pregnancy and postpartum.

The taste is so so mild but doesn’t feel like an intentional mild- feels like it’s simply poorly mixed/made. Won’t be purchasing again sadly- I much prefer the Thorne ones.

I was a little hesitant to try the Needed Hydration Support with Electrolytes & Trace Minerals because some reviews mentioned that it tasted salty. My first sip of the grapefruit flavor did have a slightly salty taste, but after drinking it a few times, I actually ended up really loving it. It’s especially refreshing in ice-cold water. The lime and lemon flavors are great as well and not quite as strong as the grapefruit. Overall, I’ve been really happy with them and plan to keep ordering. My only downside is the price — I just wish they were a bit more affordable.
