Nuun Mixed Fruit Nuun Tube - 4 Pack

These work great to keep me going when I need electrolytes. I don't really like gatorade, but when you need electrolytes, you need them! These work great for flavoring water also after you purify them, or if you can get water out on the trail but it tastes slightly off. Best of all, these don't upset my stomach after a long day like some other hydration drinks do.

Wanted to love these for their uber-convenience while backpacking and for the reasons every other reviewer seems to love them, but I just didn't. Something about the taste didn't sit right with me, and unfortunately it was the only thing I brought along, so I drank water for the whole backpacking trip, and my buddies didn't want them either. I'll give it four stars, as is seems to do what it's supposed to do, I just didn't care for the taste.

I bought the mixed flavor pack because some flavors aren't as good as others. However, to my surprise, they were all terrible. The recommended dosage tastes extremely watered down, but adding more does not really improve the disgusting fizzy taste.

It may be full of all sorts of essential vitamins and electrolytes, but I actually dreaded drinking the water. This is completely counter productive to the purpose.

It wasn't just me. My entire backpacking group of 5 agreed.

If you want energy with a hint of flavor that isn't too overpowering or chalky, then this is your choice. It helps with lactic acid build up and holds true to being a quick energy booster when you need it most.

A great product in any avenue, from a hard competition to a nice walk in the park!

What is Sorbitol?? Fake sugar stuffs, gross. I was really excited about this product because it was advertised as you can see as sugar free. Well that is not really true, it has artificial sweetener in it!!! I wish there was a hydration product out there that didn't have anything but the goods and no crap in it. Also it kiind of bothered my stomach which is common I guess with Sorbitol.

I love this 4-pack option. It lets you try the flavors without committing to an entire 8-pack. I can drink this stuff while I am working out or sitting at my desk. Plus, at about $.50/serving it less than a diet coke (and much healthier)!

These are a staple in my nutrition plan for training & competing in ultramarathons. The flavors are slight enough to be able to tolerate for hours and you still get enough electrolytes to legitimately stave off muscle cramping. With 360mg Sodium & 100mg Potassium, they replace the need to take oral salt tabs which can be difficult to eat while running. Love the grape flavor these days, but they have a bunch of flavors that are awesome. I love nuun.

I am not a huge fan of straight up water so these are great for me. I use them on hikes or sometimes when I am at my desk and I can take down any more plain water. The taste is not super strong which is good because I don't want the more syrupy gatorade-like taste. Also, you don't get as strong of the salty electrolytey taste as do with other sport-type drinks. I personally like the orange and the citrus flavors the best (hard to screw up citrus). The other flavors are not bad by any means.
