Prime Red Hydration Drink, 500ml

Product Information

Meta Moon was okay, but other flavours such as Ice Pop and Blue Raspberry are meant to be nicer (Image: Zhara Simpson/PlymouthLive) As far as the effects of the drink, I did feel like it gave me more energy than drinking water alone, but that could be a placebo effect. 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.

|We review published medical research in respected scientific journals to arrive at our conclusions about a product or health topic. This ensures the highest standard of scientific accuracy. Logan Paul and KSI recently launched a hydration and sports nutrition drink called Prime. The drinks are wildly popular, available in many Walmart locations throughout the U.S., and are positioned as a healthier alternative to sugary sports nutrition products like Gatorade and Liquid IV. Maybe Prime fans really believe that the drink will make them feel extra-hydrated in some deep but not entirely defined way. The label boasts that “with bold, thirst quenching flavours to help you refresh, replenish, and refuel, Prime is the perfect boost for every endeavor”. Who wouldn’t want that? We believe that Prime is healthier than Gatorade, because it has no added sugar and fewer potentially toxic ingredients like artificial food dye. Over the past six months, it's been hard to miss the rise of Prime Hydration in the UK. From people queuing up outside Aldi from the early hours of the day to wrestling for the bottles in Asda, the sports hydration drink has caused quite a hubbub.Acesulfame potassium is another artificial sweetener in Prime, and it’s been found in clinical studies to have negative effects on the gut and negative effects on the brain. The drink itself is a purple or dark magenta colour, which is mostly hidden by the plastic label. Upon first opening the bottle, I got a sweet, fruity smell - nothing too specific to be able to tell what fruit flavours were used, but it was definitely artificial. Red 40 is an artificial dye, and this type of ingredient is likely harmful to human health based on a medical review published in the International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health. The study authors found that Red 40 can be contaminated with carcinogens (cancer-causing substances).
