When to Choose Trace Minerals 40,000 Volts!

Minimalists who want unflavored electrolyte concentrate to add to any drink

Trace Minerals 40,000 Volts takes a unique approach — a pure liquid electrolyte concentrate with zero sugar, flavoring, or additives. Add it to water, juice, or smoothies for electrolytes without committing to a specific flavor. The trade-off is taste and convenience.

Strengths

  • Liquid concentrate format — add to any beverage without changing flavor significantly
  • Zero sugar, zero calories, zero carbs — purest electrolyte delivery method
  • 48 servings from one bottle at ~$0.54/serving with full mineral spectrum

Limitations

  • Concentrate has a strong mineral/salty taste if not diluted enough
  • Requires measuring — no pre-portioned convenience like stick packs
  • Some users report a metallic aftertaste at higher concentrations

When to Choose Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus

Illness recovery and clinical dehydration — the medical-grade rehydration standard

Pedialyte is the undisputed standard for medical rehydration, trusted by hospitals worldwide. The AdvancedCare Plus formula adds prebiotics for gut support. However, artificial sweeteners and dyes significantly lower its ingredient quality score for health-conscious daily use.

Strengths

  • Medical-grade rehydration formula backed by decades of pediatric clinical use
  • PreActiv prebiotics support gut health during illness recovery
  • Trusted by hospitals and pediatricians — the gold standard for dehydration treatment

Limitations

  • Contains artificial sweeteners (sucralose and acesulfame potassium)
  • Includes artificial flavors and dyes (Red 40, Blue 1) in some varieties
  • Medicinal taste profile — not designed for everyday enjoyment
