Nuun
Nuun is the sports drink for people who take hydration way more seriously than everyone else.
This is the tablet-in-water crowd. Runners, cyclists, triathletes—the “I track everything” group. Nuun vs Liquid I.V. turns into minimalist vs max-efficiency. Against Pedialyte, it’s performance-first vs recovery-after-the-fact.
It doesn’t come in a flashy bottle. You don’t chug it on the sidelines. You plan for it.
And that’s where the divide shows up. If you’re in that world, Nuun makes perfect sense. If you’re not, it feels like overkill.
So is Nuun actually one of the best sports drinks… or is it built for a niche that most people aren’t part of?
