Ootsuka Pocari Sweat Ion Supply Sports Drink Mix , 5 Count (Pack of 1)

I drank Pocari Sweat in Japan many years ago after having food poisoning. Tip of the day: Never buy & eat unrefridgerated ekiben! (Train lunch). I ended up in the hospital and when they released me they said to drank Pocari Sweat. It was the only thing Obaachan would let me have for three days, until my digestive track healed enough for solid food again. For many years we've kept it on hand for times when anyone in our family is ill or dehydrated. It has a refreshing light grapefruit flavor and is easy to drink. However, until I found Pocari Sweat on Amazon, the only way to get it in the US was to have a family member bring it when visiting, send it by care package, or buy it at Uwajimaya--which is at least 4 hour round trip drive & it was often not in stock. None of the local Asian markets have it. I LOVE the convenience of Amazon Prime! I can easily buy it, keep it on hand, and if we're getting low, I just ordered up some more and it's at our doorstep 2 days later. I recently added Pocari Sweat packets to our emergency supply box. I also keep it in my grab and go bag, along with granola bars, which I throw in the car for various emergencies. A bag will make a quart, but I can easily sprinkle a little in a water bottle.I highly recommend Pocari Sweat on Amazon for everyone. It's one of those essential things we should all have on hand.

I am a bike tour guide so I am always on the lookout for electrolyte solutions. This one in particular I really love. It keeps me hydrated and it has a very light citrus flavor which I enjoy. I have also drank this during a concert and found it kept me for being dehydrated and getting sick. Overall great buy.

Box was banged up a bit though.

Great product. Kept me sane during a second bout of Covid. Just enough energy to not pass out, fight the fever and take care of myself.Occasionally use it at work and helps during heavy morning rush. Good workout supplement as well.Great product, nice subtle semi sweet citrus flavor.

If you're into drinking lots of Pocari, its a yummy option for electrolytes. You can prepare a liter with these packs, its a more cost saving way than buying single bottles. The taste of Pocari Sweat takes me back to childhood, this and Aquarius are my favorite drinks! Much better than American counterparts like Gatorade, which is just too sweet.

It is what I ordered. Pocari Sweat mix. Tastes as advertised. But, this is the second time I've ordered this product from these people. Both times, the box was pulverized. If that happens once? Ok, fine, that happens. Literally this is the second time I've ordered this, and the box was still POUNDED. It operates as advertised, but I would have liked the box intact.

Pocari sweat is by far my favorite electrolyte drink! I got hooked on it (along with CC Lemon on a hot day, Japan really knows how to make refreshing drinks!) when I lived in SF near Nihon Machi and I could get it at the grocery store there. I just wish it was cheaper to get in other parts of the US!It tastes just like sweetened grapefruit and it is seriously the best thing for when my blood pressure is low. I sweat a ton, exercise a lot, I'm prone to low blood pressure/POTS and I love grapefruit so Pocari Sweat is the perfect recovery drink for me.

A chemical additive that you're consciously ingest to balance your electrolyte levels after strenuous efforts. Unfortunately, too expensive via Amazon Prime and way cheaper via local suppliers/merchants. Definitely I felt refreshed and ready to conquer mountains and valleys perched by the summers heat after drinking this concoction.
