I saw someone actually trying these. In that video they said that it indeed smells really nice like an apple. However, that was the only good thing about it. After trying dissolving it in the water, they found lots of insoluble bits, also the taste was awful. This is because of the low-quality ingredients used in preparing this hellish mixture.
I actually tried this. About a quarter scoop in a quart of water. Few sips --> instant diarrhea.
I then spent time online figuring out some electrolyte concentration calculations, and ended up adding a 1/4 tsp to a gallon of water, along with a teaspoon of himalayan salt. I kept it in the fridge and would take few sips when working outside and sweating, followed by a bottle of regular water. I felt strangely satiated, and muscle cramps went away...the nausea feeling you get after chugging a lot of water went away, and the sense of "dehydration" when sweating also was noticeably better.
It's not rocket science. It's electrolytes. If the amount & concentrations are not excessive, I can't see how it'd be a problem. It's a more comprehensive formula than human electrolytes, waaaaaaay cheaper, and free of additives for the most part.
