Vitalyte has changed its name at least twice in the past 5 or 6 years. First, it was Gookinaid and then Hydralyte ERG. That makes it hard to develop a brand following! It's also hard to find in stores.... But I like it enough to order it online, and it works well for me despite my somewhat-unusual needs. Just as an FYI: if your stomach tends to be sensitive, you may want to try a flavor other than orange. It's the most strongly flavored, and sometimes gives me stomach cramps. None of the others do this.

I'll have to look for Zenergize- it looks good!
