Frequently Asked Questions

Why is GREATER THAN better than drinking water?

GREATER THAN is better than water because water doesn’t have electrolytes. Not even “smart waters” have what your body needs to replenish. People can cramp and get dehydrated despite drinking water. There is a reason salt tablets exist. Replenish your body’s proper electrolytes, such as salt and potassium.

Should I drink GREATER THAN before or after a workout?

GREATER THAN isn’t limited to one occasion for use. It’s a functional sports drink that works all the time. We recommend drinking when thirsty and post-workout. Replenish what’s lost in sweat by drinking the plant-based electrolytes in GREATER THAN. Your body needs these minerals so it’s prepared for the next adventure.

Is GREATER THAN a healthy drink for Kids?

We have solved your search for low-sugar drinks for your kids! GREATER THAN is packed with natural electrolytes from coconut water, real fruit, 72 trace minerals, and B vitamins to keep your kids hydrated. Our plant-based electrolyte drinks are the perfect replacement for chocolate milk, juice boxes, and other hydration drinks full of sugar and stuff we can’t pronounce. Our drinks are made with high-quality ingredients and deliver delicious flavors kids approve.

Can you drink this while you’re pregnant?

When you’re pregnant, hydration is much more critical, which is why GREATER THAN has become the go-to for many women. We always suggest you check with your doctor, but we see no reason why GREATER THAN wouldn’t be a good option for you, as many Moms find it beneficial during this time. Here is an example from Ashley G on November 9: “GREATER THAN has truly helped me to feel great during my pregnancy. I was feeling dehydrated and dizzy, and I now make sure to gulp one down every morning. It gives me energy and helps to avoid many unpleasant symptoms. Thanks GT!”

Is there like a guarantee that this will boost milk supply?

While we’d love for you to try GREATER THAN, we don’t offer a refund for this reason. It’s our goal to provide an electrolyte boost without the artificial ingredients and additional sugars and calories and results can vary for everyone. While GREATER THAN may support an increase in milk supply it’s not a guarantee. With that said we’d be proud to be a part of your journey.

How much is recommended per day to boost milk supply?

The average 6-month-old drinks about a quart of milk daily, 90% of which is water, so the better hydrated your body, the better it performs. One quart is equal to 32 fl oz and the equivalent to three 11.2 oz containers or 1 Liter of GREATER THAN. However, feedback varies, and some that we’ve received suggest 11 oz to 20 oz a day. GREATER THAN is not a cure nor replaces any consultation with a Dr or lactation consultant; however, many Moms are finding GREATER THAN very beneficial for various reasons that support an increase in milk supply. Case in point, it’s really about finding what works best for you and staying well hydrated, which is good for both Moms & babies, especially Moms.

Which one should I drink to boost my breast milk?

This result is not specific to any one flavor or item. We’re here to provide an alternative & healthful solution for Mothers of all types. Nursing Moms do have increased fluid needs that reflect the volume of breast milk the baby consumes.

On average in the US that could be as much as a quart a day OR two to three times that volume with twins! Lactation is also associated with an increase in thirst to help ensure that Mom stays well hydrated. One key to hydration is electrolytes and GREATER THAN has a lot of electrolytes along with being made from real juices and organic coconut water, so it tastes great and is low sugar and lower calorie — something our athletes (and moms) seem to love.

We’d not be sharing any of this if we weren’t receiving such wonderful feedback. Everything we do share is straight from our customers. So, for many, that means using GREATER THAN to compliment their feeding routines and busy lifestyles. GREATER THAN is not a cure nor replaces any sort of consultation with a Dr or lactation consultant, however, many Moms are finding GREATER THAN very beneficial for a variety of reasons that may include an increase in milk supply. The moral to this story is that staying well hydrated is good for both Moms and babies, but especially Moms.
