BANa: BANa Serious Rehydration

BANa Serious Rehydration

Last Updated: 4/14/2009 9:27 AM

Product Type: Water: Enhanced; Container: 16.9 fl oz
BevNET Review: Of the two varieties of BANa, this one seems like the clear winner. First, it offers more electrolytes than its counterpart and has essentially the same taste (it is slightly saltier, but we don’t think consumers will notice). Second, the branding feels much more confident (“Serious” over “Better”) and credible. Gone is the monkey theme and in its place is a design that’s technical and clean, with the “Na” (aka sodium on the periodic table of elements) seeming a bit more intuitive. From a flavor and functionality point of view, this product’s sucralose sweetened mixture is enjoyable and replenishing, with a sweet berry flavor that helps complement the salty flavor of the electrolytes. It’s one of those products that takes a few sips to get into, but once we did, it was worth it. We certainly felt rehydrated. Overall, an enjoyable product that’s superior to its counterpart.

Makes perfect sense
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I am a healthcare professional and this drink makes so much sense. An IV in a bottle - easy, quick, great taste - can prevent the serious ramifications of dehydration, overuse of alcohol, etc. Within minutes, BANa replenishes that which is so easily lost during outside work, exercise, diarrhea, and can relieve that awful hangover feeling. Actually, I find it quite amazing. It is also cost effective when comparing the cost of getting to ER or Urgent care due to heat exhaustion and dehydration. Since the Haiti tragedy, I have so wished that BANa somehow could be part of the rescue efforts. Great product!!!

No more nighttime leg cramps
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

As a fishing guide I spend all day every day in the hot sun. I used to get really bad leg cramps at night, the kind that have you jumping around at 4am trying to walk it out kind. After being introduced to this drink I dont have that problem anymore. Recently I started adding a lemonade packet to the bottle and sticking it in the freezer for awhile. Its like a slushy and is very tasty. IF you work outside or an athlete of any kind I highly recommend this drink. Oh and its great for hangovers not that I ever get any of those :)

So Logical!
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

BaNa is a product that should be EVERYWHERE! The concept makes so much sense. I am a healthcare professional who hopes this product stays around for a long time! I get horrible headaches when exercising. BaNa has made all the difference in the world and I am no longer drinking the empty calories other "sports drinks" offer. Great for kids when they are sick as well! Every athlete should be using this product. I hope to see it in more stores!

Outstanding
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I have been using BANa now for over a year, and it is an unbelievable product. I was originally introduced to BANa by a friend to help cure a bad hangover, and the first time I used it, my hangover was completely gone in about 15 minutes! I am an avid runner, and I will never go running again without BANa - it keeps me hydrated and feeling fresh throughout my run - and I recover almost instantaneously! I also used it back in January when I had the flu - BANa really seemed to ease my sickness, and I got better much faster as I stayed hydrated. The best thing I've found about BANa is if I drink one before going to bed, my skin feels absolutely fantastic the next morning! I don't know if this was meant to be, but I really love the way my skin feels in the morning! I highly recommend BANa for everyone!

Quick recovery
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I tried BANa on the recommendation of a close friend with whom I have played soccer for almost 15 years. He and I are no longer young and quick to recover from a game, but he suggested I try it and see how it made me feel. I can tell you I have not recovered like this in a long time and it's all a result of BANa and its unique formula. Most people rehydrate with water or other drinks during and directly after activities, replacing the fluids they lose. But this drink is clearly different as it also replaces the salt (sodium) that is lost when sweating a lot. I now drink one of these after each game or any other physical activity to help my body recover quickly. I can honestly say I used to get home from games and I was stiff, achy and reluctant to do much for the rest of the day/evening. Now, after a BANa, I'm reinvigorated and able to maintain a better quality of life. No more stiffness, achy muscles or cramping after strenuous activities. I feel like I recover like I did when I was younger! I recommend this highly to anyone participating in sports or other physical activities...you will feel so much better.

Unbelievable!!!
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

A friend introduced me to BANa about 6 months ago at one of my soccer games. I now will not play a game with it. I actually drink a BANa about a half hour before each game, and I no longer get tired, I don't need nearly as many fluids during the game, and I recover much faster, too! I also really like the salty-sweet taste, which is much better than the normally all too sweet Gatorades and similar products!

Addicting
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

My husband has a huge problem with becoming dehydrated throughout the day. It doesn't matter if he is mowing the lawn or working around the house, it appears he sweats all the time which causes him to become dehydrated and ultimately results in a horrible headache almost everyday. We have tried everything to help him even prescription medications. Nothing seemed to be helping. He was becoming miserable. I heard of BANa through a friend and went and purchased a bottle. He tried it and within 20 -30 minutes he felt better. He tried it again the next day and the next and now he drinks one a day. It not only keeps him re-hydrated but it also prevents him from getting his headaches. This product is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone!

Nursing Home
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

I'm the marketing director for a nursing home and we made the decision to pick up BANA for our rehydration needs. The product has been extremely beneficial in reducing dehydration in the nursing home population, it costs less than Pedialyte, and reduces the amount of other more invasive means of rehydration. BANA has been a no-brainer for us and I'd highly recommend it for anyone suffering from signs and symptoms of dehydration!

hangover
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

This drink is amazing. I had stayed up all night at a party drinking. The next morning I felt terrible. Luckily a friend gave me a bana. One bottle of this and I felt like a million dollars. Bana is your one cure all for hangovers.

Amazing!
5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars5 stars

The first time I used BaNa I was skeptical. I had been outside all day mowing my lawn in 100 degree heat and had become dizzy, got an excrutiating headache, and had stopped sweating. I remembered that I had a BaNa that was given to me by a friend in my refridgerator and thought what the heck. I sat in my garage and drank the bottle, washed my face and rested for 15 minutes. Amazingly, I felt great after that and got up and mowed my back yard. This stuff REALLY works!
