Something that we have taken into account more in 2024 here on AllOutdoor, and will continue to do into 2025 as well, is consider our health. This can be as simple as reaching for healthier energy drinks and coffee at the gas station, or being mindful of our hydration so we aren’t cramping up when we’re dragging a 10-point buck out of the woods. All this being said, we are going to be taking a look at Osmo Nutrition and their Active Hydration Variety Pack. Many of the drinks that we enjoy in our daily life – tea, coffee, energy drinks – can dehydrate us, and after the caffeine is gone, can slow us down. So, it is vital that we maintain safe levels of hydration. So, today we are going to review the Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration Variety Pack to see if this is something you may want to try. Let’s dive in!

Within the Variety Pack, you get the 4 unique fruit flavors of Lemon Lime, Blackberry, Orange, and Blueberry Pomegranate. If any of those flavors individually pique your interest, you can get it in a pouch, tub, single-serve packet, or a variety pack of single-serve packets (like we are reviewing here today). Here are some of the highlights of the Active Hydration Variety Pack:
- Replaces lost body water 3x faster than just water

The ingredients vary considerably between the 4 flavors we tested, but all of them are natural vitamins, minerals, and amino acids which aid in hydration. Listed below are the nutritional facts for each of the flavors that will be found throughout this review.
A Word from Osmo Nutrition on the Active Hydration Variety Pack
Sometimes to get the best perspective of a product, you simply need to go straight to the source. Osmo Nutrition shares their thoughts on the Active Hydration Variety Pack via their press release statement given below:
Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration was developed to be the fastest way to rehydrate during exercise. Our formula contains the optimal ratio of sucrose, glucose, and electrolytes to replace body water and power you through your workout. Flavored with real fruit and natural ingredients, Active quickly gives you the hydration you need, improving endurance and power while reducing cramping and fatigue.
What’s the Upsell? What’s the Elevator Pitch?
So, what is the upsell to Osmo Nutrition’s Active Hydration? What is the elevator pitch that is going to make all of us purchase it? It simply boils down to 3 important things: electrolytes, absorption, and flavor.
- Precise ratio of electrolytes needed to replace lost body water.
- Absorbs quickly into bloodstream to prevent dehydration and bonking.
- Flavored with real fruit for a light taste that will last all day.
Active Use – Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration Variety Pack
If you are like so many of us reading this, you likely are dehydrated either from lack of water/hydration in your life, or because of your caffeine consumption on a daily basis. In either regard, making a concerted effort to improve upon that is the first start and Osmo Nutrition gives you their simple explanation of how to get started with their product.
Mix Active with water and drink throughout your exercise. We recommend starting with 20 oz. of Active Hydration per hour of exercise. When you work out, see how you feel and adjust accordingly.
Simple enough, right? I have used this Active Hydration Variety Pack for a little over a month for everything from hydrating during the middle of my work day to keeping the electrolytes flowing while at the gym, and even while ranching.
It dissolves easily enough into water if you give it a shake in a water bottle, or stir it in a cup. It is not clumpy or chunky. Also, there are not artificial colors or dyes where its not only unhealthy for you, but would stain your favorite water bottle.
All of the flavors are very lightly flavored. No individual flavor jumped out to me as being strong or robust hitting your palate. They were all very light and faint at best.
Nevertheless, they performed their job of hydrating. Understanding I fall into the majority group of individuals who may or may not be chronically dehydrated, this helped me to be better hydrated on a daily basis. Not only did it make me more conscious of my water intake, but the balanced ratio of electrolytes helped me become more hydrated on a metabolic level.
Final Thoughts
So, how did the Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration Variety Pack perform overall for us?… I believed while it was faint in taste and lacked a bit of flavor, it did slay on hydration. Everyday and every workout that I tried some, it helped me become more hydrated and generally feel better. The placebo effect is that once you start using this product, you are more conscious of your hydration habits. So, you begin to drink more fluids. Couple that with the power of Active Hydration, and you are on your way to a healthier you. At MSRPs below $20 a package, I believe this product is worth their asking price.
In closing, I want to say thank you to Osmo Nutrition for allowing AllOutdoor and myself the opportunity to try out their Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration Variety Pack. That is greatly appreciated.
