I was wondering how many people are using some sort of hydration product in their water like NUUN, elixir, emergen-C, or gatorade? and why that one?

One of the best,most beneficial pieces of advice I received last year as I prepared for my thru was - To have at least one electrolyte drink a day - regardless of temps. On the several occasions I could not find them at very rural re-supplies - I could really tell a difference in recovery and hydration after a couple of days.
Try powdered Replenish, Crystal Light On the Go - Hydration (all Crystal Light does NOT have electrolytes, nor does Propel), & Gatorade - available at most grocery stores & Nuun and Elixer (I think)are at most outfitters.
Another “trick” - leave town with a cold bottle of Gatorade that then becomes your water bottle until the next town. Also - mix instant tea with lemon flavored electrolyte mix to make an Arnold Palmer - great after a long day on the trail - just like you’re at the club!!
