I was feeling dehydrated and dizzy and I now make sure to gulp one down every morning. It gives me energy and helps to avoid many unpleasant symptoms. Thanks GT!"
Can kids drink Greater Than?
100% yes. Greater Than is good for kids. Greater Than is not too sweet, and that is good for a child's pallet. Seriously, sports drinks and fruit juices just lead to a sugary pallet causing kids to crave more sugary drinks.
