Ultima Replenisher Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to the folks at Ultima, we recently had the chance to try out Grape Ultima Replenisher:

About Ultima Replenisher:

"Ultima Replenisher is the most-advanced, balanced electrolyte drink available in the world. Through years of research and testing, Ultima's formulators found that optimal hydration requires a good balance of the electrolytes and that electrolytes are most readily absorbed with a proper amount of carbohydrate. With no carbohydrates, the absorption of electrolytes is very low and with excessive carbohydrates, the absorption is slowed by a long and necessary digestion process. Ultima's researchers found that by minimizing carbs, and using only complex carbs, rather than simple sugar, the absorption is quick and effective.

-ZERO SUGAR. ZERO ARTIFICIAL. There’s too much sugar in the leading sports drinks – 10 packs or more – and little nutritional value. No wonder so many athletes drink plain water. But our bodies need electrolytes before, during and after exercise. Ultima Replenisher is a natural sports drink with zero sugar. It contains a full complement of electrolytes, not just a ton of sodium. Ultima also contains complex carbs for energy, water-soluble vitamins and vitamin enhancers for day-to-day health maintenance, and antioxidants to protect body systems from free radicals (toxins). Ultima uses no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners."

What we thought: We tried the grape flavor, and though I'm not usually a huge fan of grape flavored drinks, this wasn't half bad when served icy cold. The kiddos really liked the taste and I was happy that it was something they could enjoy. Ultima Replenisher will be especially good for these hot summer days in Texas. We can play outside, even in the triple digit heat, without fear of the kids dehydrating when we take Ultima with us:) Its great to know there is a healthy, naturally sweet alternative to other sports drinks that is safe to share with the kiddos:) The next time one of them gets a stomach virus, we'll definitely be giving them Ultima Replenisher to keep them hydrated, and because they love the taste they will drink it without a fight. Ultima is great for every member of the family, whether you're an athlete, an on-the-go mom or a kiddo. ABCD Diaries gives Ultima Replenisher an A!
