Best hydration powders/tablets

Can someone help me figure out what sort of hydrating water additive I might like? I feel like I’ve wasted so much money on options I’m not into.

I first tried Liquid IV lemon lime flavor because that seemed to be the most widely liked. I could not stand the taste of it. It tasted so artificial and no matter how much water I diluted with, I couldn’t rid it of that artificial taste.

LMNT - SOO salty. I ended up using a third of a packet in my 40 oz water bottle and forcing myself to drink it. I feel like I drank less water those days than I do on a normal day because I just couldn’t acquire a taste for it.

Needed - I’m pregnant now and found this option and figured I’d check it out. It actually called for only 8 ounces of water. It ended up tasting like water that I’d squeezed a whole lemon into. Not really my jam.

I don’t really like Gatorade - the liquid IV reminded me of it. If anyone has ever tried mixed berry propel, I love that sort of flavor. Not too overwhelming, but also stronger than “essence of berry” type waters. I know propel makes electrolyte packets, but I think they might rank low on the scale of what they provide. But I’m looking for something with a similar taste.

I keep getting a lot of targeted ads for Instant Hydration. Has anyone tried this one? Or have any other recommendations?

A note - I actually love plain water, and drink a lot of it. My mouth is just constantly dry, so I’m wondering if hydration packets would help.
