Whether you’re lounging on the dock or hitting the trails, these hydrating drink additives will become your must-have for leaving the lakehouse.

While sipping on Salud, you’re guaranteed to stay both hydrated and happy. These hydration + immunity drink additives were created by social media influencer Josh Leyva who wanted to help people quench thirst and increase hydration in a healthy way. Salud’s hallmark trait is their clean premium ingredients and authentic flavors. I have personally tried Salud, and I appreciate the wide variety of flavors from pineapple to mango to hibiscus (my favorite) that never fail to enhance the H20 experience.  Further, each drink mix is packed with electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals — including 100mg of elderberry and Wellmune to boost immune systems.

If you’re looking for double the electrolytes, this Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Electrolyte Powder might be your drink additive of choice. If you mix just one stick of this hydration powder into a cup of water, you’ll get three times the electrolytes of average sports drinks. How does it work? Cellular Transport Technology — a mixture of sodium, potassium, glucose,  and water that helps deliver water and nutrients into the bloodstream much faster than an average cup of water. On top of that, you’ll be getting premium ingredients like 100% of vitamin C, B3, B5, B6, and B12. Plus, every time you buy a packet of these, the Liquid I.V. brand will donate a bag to charity.

Last but not least, Dr. Price’s electrolyte mix is a refreshing, fruit-flavored hydration-enhancing drink of choice. With a blend of more than 72 trace minerals and electrolytes, it’s perfect for extra hydration during an active day on the lake. Like many of the other drink additives on this list, it’s made from stevia leaf extract for a natural sweetening option. In addition to the classic raspberry flavor, the powder is also available in lime, pineapple, mixed berry, and other options. 

We hope these drink additives help you stay hydrated on the lake!
