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 Key Nutrients Electrolyte Recovery Plus

Budget-conscious daily users who want zero-calorie electrolytes with vitamin supplementation

Key Nutrients offers the best per-serving value in this comparison with 90 servings at under $0.50 each. The zero-sugar formula with added vitamins makes it a solid daily hydration choice, though the moderate electrolyte amounts may not suffice for heavy athletic use.

Strengths

  • Outstanding value at ~$0.44/serving with 90 servings per tub
  • Zero sugar and zero calories with 6 key electrolytes plus 12 vitamins
  • Wide flavor variety with 10+ options including unique picks like peach mango

Limitations

  • Uses stevia which can taste bitter to some people at this concentration
  • Contains "natural flavors" without full disclosure of sourcing
  • Electrolyte amounts per serving are moderate — may need double-scooping for intense activity
