How we got 4.5 ShowHide
Reviewed 3 times · Methodology v3.1 (updated 8 Oct 2026) — what changed
This beverage mix is primarily a source of electrolytes and quick energy from sugars, with added vitamins. While it can aid in rehydration, its high sugar content from fructose and maltodextrin, combined with the artificial sweetener sucralose, means it should be consumed in moderation, especially by children or individuals managing blood sugar levels. The presence of multiple sodium sources also contributes to the overall sodium intake.

Electrolyte drink with high sugar and artificial sweetener
This beverage mix provides electrolytes and quick energy, but contains a significant amount of added sugars (fructose, maltodextrin) and the artificial sweetener sucralose. While suitable for rehydration, its high sugar content means it should be consumed in moderation, particularly by children or those monitoring sugar intake. It also contributes to daily sodium intake.

Watch out for
High in added sugars (Maltodextrin, Fructose)
Contains artificial sweetener (Sucralose)
Multiple sources of sodium contribute to overall sodium intake
Highly processed formulation (NOVA-4)
Orange Flavor — a flavoring blend. Flavor substances are FSSAI/JECFA-evaluated, and labelling rules permit them to be declared by category ("natural", "nature identical", "artificial") rather than by individual compound — so the specific substances used are usually not disclosed. That means someone avoiding artificial flavorings, or with a known sensitivity, cannot verify what is in it. Noted as a moderate, transparency-level concern rather than a hazard.

Sodium Carbonate (E500)
Used as a leavening agent and acidity regulator. Contributes to total dietary sodium. Individuals on sodium-restricted diets (hypertension, kidney disease, heart failure) should account for sodium from all food additive sources, not just table salt.
Regulatory & scientific authority Source: FSSAI INS 500
Sodium Carbonate: regulation, sources and other products →Decode Label Analysis
This product contains multiple sources of sodium (Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Chloride) which contribute to the overall sodium load. Individuals on sodium-restricted diets should be cautious.
Contains both added sugars (Maltodextrin, Fructose) and an artificial sweetener (Sucralose). This combination may not be ideal for individuals managing blood sugar or those who prefer to avoid artificial sweeteners.
Claim check
Front-of-pack marketing claims checked against this product's actual ingredients and nutrition. "Can't verify" means the label does not provide enough information to check the claim — it is not the same as the claim being false.
This is a regulatory designation that cannot be checked from the ingredient list.
This is a benefit claim that cannot be verified from the ingredient list or nutrition facts alone.
This describes the usage of the product and is not a verifiable claim about its composition.
This is the maker’s regulatory age/stage designation for the product — an ingredient list can’t confirm or deny it, so it’s classified separately rather than flagged as a doubtful claim.
This is a general term and not a specific, verifiable claim about the product's composition or properties.
The ingredients list includes electrolytes such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium chloride, magnesium carbonate, and calcium carbonate, and vitamins such as ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12).
The ingredients list 'Orange Flavor'.
The ingredients list sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, which are common effervescent agents.
The nutrition information states 0.72g of sugar per serving, which is a low amount.
The product contains electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride) which are known to aid in hydration.

About this analysis: Based on declared label information and available evidence. Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test products, and a score is not a regulatory determination or medical advice.
Disclaimer: Safety scores are Decode Label-generated assessments based on publicly available regulatory data (FSSAI, WHO, EFSA, IARC) and peer-reviewed research. They are not a substitute for professional medical advice, and they are not a regulatory determination, a laboratory safety certification or a medical diagnosis. Ingredient safety can vary by individual health conditions, concentration, and usage context. Decode Label is an independent information service and scores every brand by the same rules. No brand pays for or influences its score. Our founder also founded the personal-care brand Botani Bestie (see our story); its products are scored exactly like everyone else's. Data limitations: This assessment is based on the information declared on the product label and the evidence sources above — Decode Label does not independently laboratory-test this product. Ingredient concentrations, sourcing and manufacturing can vary between batches and are not always disclosed. A finding that is not shown here means it was not identified from the available label information, not that it has been ruled out.
