My kids even said PRIME was too sweet and hated it. That's how bad it is. I tried it since we bought a few different ones and I didn't want to waste it. It is insanely sweet and syrupy but I actually felt sick afterward like something weird was majorly off. Just felt unhealthy. I tried multiple flavors also on different occasions and noticed the same effect. I tried the PRIME Energy (mango flavor) and that honestly tasted the best. It wasn't as sweet and the carbonation made it better and the energy it gave was clean despite being large amounts of caffeine. But at least with this, I didn't have the expectations of it being a healthy drink like the regular drink tries to represent itself. I wasn't surprised seeing as it's primarily for kids. But our kids wanted them so badly and once they tried it I never heard about PRIME ever again.... no clue what kids or people are drinking this. Must be really (no offense) overweight kids that are obsessed with sugar and nothing is too sugary for them.

Hey Derek, would love to hear you talk about the study that recently came out on sucralose. Is it worth heeding or just bogus? I really like your products, but many of them contain this ingredient. I'm wondering if you might consider offering any of your products with an alternative sweetener if sucralose is truly bad for you.

Yeah...my brother and his wife were taking potassium supplements--not prescribed by their doctors--for some reason that I do not know. I found out because he told me he was having palpitations. I asked what he'd been eating/drinking/taking. He mentioned the potassium pills. I told him to stop immediately, go to the doc and get labs. Idk if he actually got labs drawn, but he stopped taking the potassium and his palpitations subsided. I can't imagine what his EKG must have looked like. It's crazy to me that people just take things without knowing their levels.>_> Too high or too low potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium--it can all f*ck you up at varying degrees. Also, yeah--kayexalate definitely makes you poop. It's how it gets the potassium out. Not very fun for bedside healthcare personnel, but definitely less miserable than having to call a code.

have friends at school who when I tell them that prime isn’t a good electrolyte formula, they say well “ if Alexander takes it it must be fine.” This is the example of influencers influencing impressionable young people like the people in my class who have no idea on effective drinks and stuff in general, wish every influencer was like derek to be honest.

But when you see football or hockey players drinkong Gatorade... That's actual Gatorade It's only really necessary for several hours of high exertion/perspiration That is to say.. Very few people actually need hydration solutions, and selling them to the general public has always been purely marketing-generated demand. 99% of MPMD viewers who are just going to the gym for an hour or two absolutely do not need any electrolyte drinks, including Derek's. If anything, kids might need it more since they are often burning through tons of energy.

As i started training more (powerlifting in the morning, strongman after work) and i had tried prime for a few workouts i felt much MUCH fatser burnout and less in the tank. Swapped to an intra workout mix that had proper balance and i train 5 days on , twice a day and go hard.

Hey Derek, great videos and awesome informative content, I have a special request, me and my fiancee are on a diet to get more fit and have a better physique.

Fun fact: Logan Paul and KSI own only a very small part of Prime and aren’t at all involved in the formulation of the drink. They’re just figureheads with large followings who can easily market the drinks to kids. PRIME is distributed by Congo Brands, the same company that makes Alani Nu (the addison rae drink).

Hey guys I recently been working out and doing a lot of HIIT workouts for the last couple of weeks what would be the best hydration drink to just simply refuel my body. Looking for some guidance

So if im wanting to adequately hydrate during high intensity sport i should get an electrolyte drink with hith sodium levels?

The age group is pretty spot on. My 10 year old nephew just asked me if he could get Prime while we were on vacation in Arkansas. I told him no because it won’t actually help, it just tastes good. Trying to explain how hydration works to a 10 year old wasn’t that hard. Stopped in GNC, bought a bottled water and liquid IV packet. He hated the taste but wasn’t thirsty anymore. 🤣

The smarter move for prime would probably be to change up their formula in order to support their claims better of being an efficient sports hydration drink. They could probably have their original formula just advertise it as a good tasting drink and lots of people would still buy it, but if their goal is really to push into the sports essentials business they'd definitely need to change something up. I doubt they care that much though, they seems to enjoy the money and not care too much about the product.

What's sad is that I have seen dozens of kids buying Prime multiple bottles at a time and they cost over 10€ per bottle in my country.

Is there any difference between this and Gatorade or Powerade? I look at all these drinks nothing but sugar water.
