When to Choose LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix
Keto dieters, fasting enthusiasts, and heavy sweaters who prioritize clean ingredients and high sodium
LMNT sets the standard for clean-label electrolytes with full ingredient transparency and zero sugar. The 1000mg sodium per packet is ideal for those on low-carb diets or who sweat heavily, though the premium price and high sodium content won't suit everyone.
Strengths
- Zero sugar with fully transparent ingredient list and exact electrolyte amounts
- High sodium (1000mg) ideal for keto, fasting, and heavy sweaters
- No artificial sweeteners, colors, or fillers — stevia-sweetened
Limitations
- High price per serving (~$1.83) compared to most competitors
- Very high sodium may not suit low-sodium diets or light activity
- Limited to stick-pack format with no bulk powder option
When to Choose Gnarly Nutrition Hydrate
Competitive athletes who need NSF certification and zero-sugar clean ingredients
Gnarly Hydrate checks the boxes for competitive athletes: NSF Certified for Sport, zero sugar, monk fruit sweetened, and solid electrolyte ratios. The taste won't please everyone, but the clean formula and certification make it a strong choice for anyone subject to drug testing.
Strengths
- NSF Certified for Sport — safe for competitive athletes subject to drug testing
- Zero sugar with no artificial sweeteners — uses monk fruit extract
- Good electrolyte balance with 200mg sodium, 250mg potassium per serving
Limitations
- Monk fruit taste can be polarizing — some find it has a slight aftertaste

- Resealable bag format can clump in humid conditions
