Finally… A Prime Drink Safe Swap!

Let’s talk about Prime…

I know it’s super trendy and it’s what kids are asking for.. but let’s dive into these ingredients, shall we?

Filtered Water, Coconut Water from Concentrate, Citric Acid, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tri Magnesium Citrate, Natural Flavor, Sucralose, Beta Carotene for Colour, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Valine, D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Acesulfame Potassium, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin a), Zinc Aspartate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B-6), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B-12).

(At least they're using filtered water).

Remember when Coca-Cola became famous for its ability to clean the oil off engines? Yep. Dipotassium Phosphate, a substance made by combining potassium hydroxide with phosphoric acid, is the culprit.

It gets better, "...it has been repeatedly ruled safe by the United States Food and Drug Administration", even though its main use is as a fertilizer.

Prime Hydration also includes 2 artificial sweeteners and these compounds inhibit the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters in the brain. This has been linked to severe neuropathy long term.  

The added minerals and synthetic vitamins are there so it could be labelled a healthy 'sports drink'.

Convinced it’s a terrible option? Good. ;)

Finally, a decent swap!

Check out Hoist.

It’s not perfect. But it’s 1000% better than its competitor. They even made it appear similar in packaging to Prime to attract the same market. No artificial preservatives, no dyes, no artificial sweeteners, and 3x the electrolytes. I’ll link it below!
