Sodium Per Serving380 mg

Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus is a medical-grade electrolyte powder designed for rapid rehydration. Each packet delivers sodium 380mg, potassium 320mg, magnesium 30mg per serving — a balanced profile stronger than basic sports drinks but lighter than performance-focused brands like LMNT. Sugar-free with 0g added sugar; sweetened with sucralose. Includes PreActiv Prebiotics (inulin) for gut health — a differentiator not common in peer products. Berry Frost flavor is well-reviewed but has a slight medicinal edge. Format: single-serve packets (6-count convenient for travel, illness recovery, or gym). Who it's for: post-workout hydration, heat illness prevention, viral gastroenteritis recovery, hangover relief, and everyday athletes. Positioned as OTC rehydration therapy rather than pure sports hydration — backed by clinical use and pediatric heritage, though adult athletes often reach for saltier alternatives. No artificial colors. At $3.30/oz ($11.87 for 6), cost-per-serving sits mid-tier (~$1.98 per packet); Subscribe & Save drops to ~$1.88. Broadly trusted by dietitians; less viral on TikTok than LMNT or Liquid I.V.
