In this article we'll answer all of these questions and more as we review every ingredient in Prime based on medical studies to give our take on whether it's actually as healthy as the brand claims. I know I've thrown around words like "artificial" and "overwhelmingly sweet", but that doesn't actually make it a bad thing. Honestly, if you did a blind taste test without knowing the hype you probably wouldn't notice much difference compared to other hydration/sports drinks.A spokesperson for Veygo said: "Within this sought-after product are high levels of caffeine that many shoppers haven’t stopped to consider, especially how it could impact their driving.

See full bio., Co-author, Drinking it, I was tasked to see if it particularly improved my awareness and energy, or even just hydrated myself more than a glass of water, but I didn't notice any significant difference. I can see it being helpful if you finish a work-out or if you're hungover and looking to get some vitamins and minerals into your system, but that really depends on if you would be able to get it more easily in the future.

The unrealistic strongman images prey on young men’s vulnerabilities – and end up making them unhealthier.

Coconut water is a good option for a hydration drink as it’s rich in electrolytes and minerals according to the USDA. Filtered water is the first ingredient, and is a good choice for a sports nutrition drink. W ater is the most hydrating ingredient in any drink.One of the most popular YouTube videos on Prime is published by a channel called "More Plates More Dates," has over 2 million views, and is a scientific "takedown" of the claims made by Logan Paul and Prime: Tasting it, the artificial flavouring was confirmed. It reminded me of really cheap sweets you would get from the corner shop when I was younger - the ones that had that distinctive fake fruit flavour and were overwhelmingly sweet.

It's fine, if you like that kind of thing, but it's nothing new or particularly ground-breaking.

We believe that Prime is healthier than Gatorade, because it has no added sugar and fewer potentially toxic ingredients like artificial food dye. By some minor miracle, I managed to grab myself a bottle of Meta Moon from Asda in Oadby (branded as 'candy fruit' flavoured) but Prime comes in a whole variety of flavours, including Ice Pop, Blue Raspberry, Tropical Punch, Orange, Grape, and Lemon Lime. With the amount of hype surrounding the drink - and the fact that people have literally fought over it - I thought I'd share my review of Prime Hydration.
