Summary

Cadence Core Hydration Drink scores 72/100. Delivers core electrolytes (sodium citrate, potassium citrate, magnesium citrate) in a sparkling water format, but the formulation is dragged down by phosphoric acid — a controversial acidifier associated with bone mineral density concerns and tooth enamel erosion — along with undisclosed Natural Flavors and steviol glycosides. The electrolyte citrate forms are well-chosen but the inclusion of phosphoric acid is a significant deduction for a health-positioned product.
