Pedialyte Electrolyte Powder is a doctor-recommended hydration mix designed for both kids and adults. Each packet contains 1100mg sodium and 25g sugar per liter when mixed, positioning it as a higher-sugar option versus newer low/no-sugar competitors like LMNT or Liquid I.V.

Key profile:

  • Electrolytes: 1100mg sodium, moderate potassium & magnesium (exact amounts variable by flavor)
  • Sugar: 25g per liter (sweetened formula)
  • Actives: Glucose for faster absorption; no vitamins added
  • Format: 24 single-serve powder packets, variety pack (Grape, Strawberry Lemonade, Orange)
  • Calories: ~100 per packet
  • Price: ~$1.00 per serving (Subscribe & Save: ~$0.95)

Who it's for: Parents managing pediatric dehydration, general illness/heat recovery, older adults. Not optimized for keto or sugar-conscious hydration seekers. Abbott's heavy clinical backing and pediatric heritage make it a trusted first choice for acute rehydration, but the higher sugar and lower electrolyte density versus sports-focused competitors limit appeal in athletic/endurance circles.
