When to Choose Redmond Re-Lyte Hydration
Health-conscious consumers who want maximum ingredient transparency and trace mineral support

- Real Salt mineral base provides 60+ trace minerals beyond standard electrolytes
- Zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners — uses stevia leaf extract
Limitations
- Slightly salty taste from Real Salt base may not appeal to all palates
- 60-serving jar format less portable than individual stick packs
- Higher upfront cost despite good per-serving value
