When to Choose Cure Hydrating Electrolyte Mix
Health-conscious consumers who prefer whole-food-based hydration with organic ingredients
Cure takes a whole-food approach to electrolytes with organic coconut water as the base. The ingredient quality is high and the taste is pleasant, but the electrolyte content is moderate. Best for everyday hydration rather than intense athletic performance.
Strengths
- Made with organic coconut water and pink Himalayan salt for a whole-food base
- No artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors — plant-based ingredients
- Convenient stick-pack format with pleasant, not-too-sweet taste
Limitations
- Contains 4g sugar per serving from organic coconut water and cane sugar
- Lower electrolyte content than performance-focused competitors
- Premium pricing for the amount of electrolytes delivered per serving

Nuun's effervescent tablet format is unmatched for convenience — drop one in your water bottle and go. The low sugar and calorie count make it ideal for daily use. The trade-off is lower electrolyte content per serving, making it better for light activity than extreme exertion.
Strengths
- Unique effervescent tablet format — just drop in water, no scooping or stirring
- Only 1g sugar and 15 calories per tablet — among the lightest options
- Compact tube is ultra-portable for hiking, travel, and gym bags
Limitations
- Lower electrolyte content per tablet (300mg sodium) than powder competitors
- Contains stevia leaf extract which some find has a lingering aftertaste
- Tablets can be slow to fully dissolve in cold water
