Pedialyte goes dye-free and launches its biggest refresh yet
As families gear up for fall sports, travel, packed schedules and the return of cold and flu season, staying hydrated remains an important part of everyday wellness. That's why Pedialyte is rolling out one of the biggest updates in the brand's history.
The trusted hydration brand is introducing dye-free drinks, freezer pops and powder packs while keeping the same hydration performance and familiar taste consumers have relied on for decades. Along with the formula update, Pedialyte is also simplifying its packaging to help shoppers quickly identify the right product for their hydration needs.

Why Pedialyte is different from water and sports drinks
Pedialyte is scientifically formulated with a precise balance of electrolytes and glucose designed to help replenish fluids efficiently.
The formula contains three key electrolytes:
- Sodium
- Potassium
- Chloride
These nutrients are important because dehydration often occurs when the body loses both fluids and electrolytes through illness, sweating, heat exposure or intense physical activity.
The brand says its balance of sodium and glucose helps support fluid absorption more effectively than water alone.
When families commonly use Pedialyte
Many consumers turn to Pedialyte for hydration during:
- Cold and flu season
- Stomach illnesses
- Sports recovery
- Heat exposure
- Travel
- Busy, active days
While often associated with children, Pedialyte is commonly used by adults as well, particularly following intense activity or dehydration caused by heat.
