Dr. Berg Electrolyte Powder Pomegranate & Cherry Natural Flavor, 320g

I wanted to like this. I like the balance of electrolytes in this. I've tried many different electrolyte drinks with varying degrees of tolerance - coconut water is my preferred and I feel the best on it compared to any electrolyte drink I've tried, but at 1ltr a day, it gets expensive fast.My son does martial arts, and has been asking for "cherry electrolytes". Most are mixed with pomegranate flavor. But, the stevia as a sweetener is too much. It is too sweet, too cloying, and if I could return it I would. I'm skeptical my son will make it through even one glass, which means either I drink it, or throw it out (and $36 down the drain)

Customer service is good and product tastes excellent

I started my fast into the second day, and as I was researching I realized, "What am I going to do to get 4,700 mg of Potasium?" - I immediately started searching for sources. I got into this "Electrolytes" thing and ran into lots of products that claim to restore Electrolytes which in my mind is Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium. I checked my collection of suppliments and found a "Vitamin B plus electrolytes" and checked the label. I got it from "Kirkland" called Super B-Complex with Electrolytes. Wow! Potasium 30mg! You can see my point about products claiming to provide you with Electrolytes and LITTLE TO NO POTASSIUM! Also that product had NO MAGNISIUM! Back to the review, I received this product in the mail today!First impressions? It's a lot smaller than I thought and it does come with the little "scooper". The powder is so fine that it floats out into the air when you unscrew the cap. I got the Pomegranate and Cherry. Yes it tastes too sweet and a lingering SALT flavor stays with you. I found it strange that I had trouble getting it to dissolve in the water which was around 12-16 ounces. I was left with powder unmixed at the bottom of the glass. I topped it with water again, and stirred it with a butter knife. Drank it down and STILL had powder at the bottom of the glass undisolved. Servings per container is 50. So, if I have FIVE SCOOPS OF THIS each day, I will have the required amount of Potassium. What does that mean when I'm fasting as in no food for several days? That means I will need 5 scoops each day. That means this would be perfect for a 10 day fast! I would not recommend this for a daily supliment and instead would just eat food instead like Beet Tops, and leafy greens. Bottom Line!? It seems expensive and thanks for all the salt. Seriously though, maybe put the whole scoop in your mouth and wash it down rather than trying to get it to dissolve in a drink? I'm glad I could "school" on what advertisers claim are electrolytes vs. what is actually provided in their products. The salty after taste lingers. I'll try a scoop in my coffee later. After, YOU NEED FIVE SCOOPS A DAY if you are extend fasting. I'm on day two with no food and I feel great! This product is helping me. The magnisium is only 120mg, but FIVE SCOOPS per day fasting? Peace of mind. I couldn't find anything else that came close. Thanks Dr. Berg! lol Bottom Line? Perfect for a ten day fast.

After working outdoors drenched in sweat all day I tend to get terrible leg cramps at night if I don't take in electrolytes throughout the day. I recently tried Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder for the first time (POMEGRANATE & CHERRY FLAVOR.) The product works great for me; no cramps at night after using it. It seems refreshing when I drink it. Here's the problem: it has a very off-putting taste and a smell that sort of reminds me of guava. Or Malathion. I can hardly bring myself to drink the stuff. The stevia aftertaste is one thing (mixing it a little on the diluted side takes care of that) but this is something else altogether. The product works so well I'm going to order it in another flavor and see if that makes a difference. As for the Pomegranate & Cherry Flavor, I think something has gone wrong there. Maybe they should change the label to read "This product works great, but tastes and smells like a$$." Probably won't sell as much that way, though.UPDATE: I purchased the LEMONADE FLAVOR. Works great and tastes much better to me than the Pomegranate & Cherry. I find diluting the powder in a little more water than recommended on the label definitely cuts the stevia aftertaste by a lot. The overall taste is tolerable and very refreshing. And it works!

I have a hard time drinking just plain water! I tried this flavor & brand for the 1st time & I was shocked how fast I could drink 16 oz of water flavored with this! It mixed up easily using my 16 oz tumblers straw. The Stevia tastes way better than the nasty Aspartame sweetener. 1st time drinking anything with Stevia & I am impressed! I don't do well with drinks that have real Sugar or corn syrup, so this was nice to have something that tastes great w/o the Sugar crash!
