I started using this product because I was trying to up my liquids to avoid constipation, but drinking more fluids caused constant trips to the bathroom. I saw a video that said if liquids just go right through you, your body isn't properly absorbing the fluids, and that perhaps electrolytes might help. Most of those I checked out were loaded with salts and sugars. This one was different, seemed better, and actually tastes good enough to drink! I think drinking this has helped with my dehydration/constipation concerns, but its claim that I would go to the bathroom a lot less is still questionable. I do like this product enough though to repurchase.
