Pedialyte Fast Hydration is a medical-grade electrolyte powder designed for rapid rehydration. Each packet contains 610mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and 30mg magnesium — a solid electrolyte profile suited for dehydration recovery, illness, or moderate activity. Sugar-free with sucralose sweetening. The formula includes zinc and vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 — extras aimed at immune support and recovery. Comes in 24 single-serve packets (Strawberry flavor). Cost per serving: ~$1.10 — premium positioning. Trusted by pediatricians and endorsed in clinical settings, Pedialyte competes with Liquid I.V. and LMNT but leans toward medical/illness use rather than athlete endurance. Widely available. Dissolves cleanly; occasional taste complaints ("medicinal", "salty"). Best for hangover recovery, viral illness rehydration, and heat illness prevention — less trendy among TikTok fitness crowds than LMNT or Liquid I.V.
