Frequently asked
- Is Prime Hydration healthy?
- Prime Hydration itself is mild: 20 calories, 2g of sugar, some coconut water and electrolytes, sweetened artificially. The real issues are the hype-to-substance ratio and the brand confusion with Prime Energy, which packs 200mg of caffeine in a can that looks nearly identical to kids. As hydration, plain water plus real electrolytes does the job with less marketing.
- What is a healthier alternative to Prime Hydration?
- Our top swaps are LMNT Recharge Electrolyte Drink Mix - Citrus Salt, Vita Coco Coconut Water - Original, all with more protein or less sugar than Prime Hydration.
