We made ours different.
Every single thing in Hydrant. Stuff you can actually pronounce.
That's the whole list. Every ingredient is real, pronounceable, and there for a reason.
No stevia. No sucralose. No maltodextrin. No silicon dioxide. No synthetic dyes.

Worth noting: Liquid IV uses 11g of sugar and stevia. LMNT has 1,000mg sodium per packet — 43% of your daily limit. Pedialyte uses sucralose, currently subject to a class action lawsuit. And "natural flavors" is an FDA term that covers hundreds of lab-synthesized compounds.
The World Health Organization's oral rehydration formula has saved over 50 million lives. It needs three things: sodium, glucose, and water. We adapted it with real fruit juice and real cane sugar.
I picked up every hydration product at Whole Foods, flipped them over, and read the labels. Stevia. Sucralose. "Natural flavors." Maltodextrin. Silicon dioxide. Synthetic dyes. Every single one.
As a biology student at Oxford, I knew the science only needed a few ingredients — the World Health Organization proved this 50 years ago. So why did every product have 15+? The answer was cost.
So I built Hydrant with one rule: every ingredient has to be real, pronounceable, and something I'd want in my own body.
