Potion Hydration reviews and discussion

I'd been on the search for an electrolyte drink with salt when I found Potion and knew I wanted to give it a try. It tastes great, and you can't really taste the salt for how much it is in there! The packaging design is a nice change from all the others on the market currently, making it feel less like a post-workout drink. The tab to open the packet pulls down rather than across the top, which is easier to open and makes it easier to pour into your drink; it's a feature I did not think much about at first but very much appreciated!

Overall Potion is really nice. There’s no added sugar and its nutrient breakdown is the same as LMNT so if you are looking for a salt hydration supplement Potion is a great option. I ordered the Pink Grapefruit and Yuzu Citrus flavors. The Citrus tastes like a watered-down version of yellow Gatorade. It’s really refreshing and not as overpowering as LMNT.

First off this packaging is SO cute. I thought that it would be powder when opening the bag but it’s all individual packets which is so convenient. I’m that person that doesn’t like drinking electrolytes bc I usually hate how salty it tastes, but this Yuzu flavor is IT! Love that its 0g of sugar too. Perfect to take after a sweaty workout & a def new addition to my routine

Got the Yuzu flavor and maybe that's where I went wrong? It has a bitter aftertaste to it that I don't enjoy at all. The instructions state to add it to ~23oz of water which seems like a very odd amount and not a typical size for any cup I have at home unless I use a large mason jar. I had issues tearing open a single packet and had to use scissors. The branding is simple in a good way and fun. I do think the product hydrates as it is supposed to.

I used the Yuzu Potion last weekend on a 2 day trail ride. Not only did it taste delicious but I didn’t cramp and felt great at the start of the second days ride. The saltiness was perfect for when I was exhausted after 80kms of riding.

Update: Potion finally got back to me, seemingly in response to this review, and sent out the product without more delay. Glad I finally got the order but customer emails going to spam is a significant problem if the customer is replying directly to the original order email (as the footer says to). For the product itself, it's tasty. Not too salty, not too sweet, punchy but not sour flavour, and contains what seems to be the going ratios for sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Each sachet is for ~23oz of water but might be better served by being packed for ~16oz of water, which is a more common size for water bottles both single-use and refillable. My glass holds about 19oz - maybe a stronger flavour than originally intended but again, tasty, and I feel pretty hydrated. Will definitely come in useful during the hot summer months. Original review: Ordered Dec 6, got a tracking number on Dec 9. Tracking number says "pre-shipment info received, waiting for parcel", and hasn't changed in a full month (it's now January 6). I've sent multiple follow-up emails without any reply. Even if the product is great, I couldn't tell you because their logistics team has completely fumbled. Hoping this is a one-off, but it leaves a sour (electrolyte-free) taste in the mouth.

This little powerhouse fits like a dream in my gym bag and keeps things frosty for hours on end!

A lifesaver for sure! This drink keeps me hydrated and energized all day long, plus it tastes great. I sip it during my workouts, and it really helps me power through.

Don't let its small stature fool you - this compact companion is perfect for your gym bag and keeps your drinks icy cold for an impressively long time!

Convenient single-serve packs are ideal for busy lifestyles - simply stash some in your bag for nutrition anytime, anywhere.

The compact size makes it perfect for tossing in my gym bag. Stays cold for a long time too.

i like the ingredients of this product but i find the flavor to be a little bitter, I end up using the product less because of it.

This is the best hydration product I've tried, and I've tried a few!! It's easy to mix and doesn't clump, plus the flavours are ELITE. The Yuzu Citrus tastes like lemonade, and the Pink Grapefruit would honestly be great as a mixer with some gin or vodka, haha! Highly recommend.

Finally, a hydration product that has the salt you need but also tastes good!
