When selecting the best water flavorings, we researched several water flavorings on the market, including products with various amounts of sugar, electrolytes, and other added nutrients. We understand that many people can struggle to consume enough water, so we made sure to consider flavorings that are easy to use and have appealing flavor options. We prioritized products with simple ingredients without artificial colorings and flavorings, and other unnecessary additives.
