When to Choose Momentous Fuel
Competitive athletes who need NSF-certified fuel with carbohydrates for endurance training
Momentous Fuel is a premium intra-workout formula designed for serious athletes. The NSF Certified for Sport designation and carbohydrate-electrolyte blend make it ideal for prolonged training, but the high price and carb content limit its appeal for casual hydration.
Strengths
- NSF Certified for Sport — trusted by professional athletes and tested for banned substances
- Includes carbohydrate blend for sustained energy during prolonged exercise
- Developed with input from sports scientists and used by elite teams
Limitations
- Most expensive per serving (~$2.60) in this comparison
- Contains 25g carbs per serving — not suitable for keto or low-carb diets
- Only 15 servings per jar means frequent reordering
When to Choose Propel Powder Packets
Budget shoppers who want the cheapest zero-calorie electrolyte option available
Propel is the budget king at $0.35/serving, but you get what you pay for. Artificial sweeteners, colors, and minimal electrolyte content make it the lowest-quality option in this comparison. It's essentially flavored water with a small electrolyte boost — fine for light use, but serious hydration needs require more.
Strengths
- Cheapest per-serving cost in this comparison at ~$0.35/serving
- Zero sugar and zero calories — good for calorie-conscious hydration
- Ubiquitous retail availability in grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies
Limitations
- Contains sucralose and acesulfame potassium (artificial sweeteners)
- Very low electrolyte content — only 160mg sodium and minimal other minerals
- Artificial colors and flavors with minimal ingredient transparency
