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 Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier
Mainstream consumers who prioritize taste and convenience over clean-label credentials
Liquid I.V. is the most recognizable name in electrolytes, and the taste delivers. However, 11g of added sugar per serving and opaque "natural flavors" labeling put it behind cleaner competitors on ingredient quality. Best for those who want something that tastes great and is available everywhere.
Strengths
- Uses Cellular Transport Technology (CTT) for enhanced water absorption
- Widest flavor variety and most widespread retail availability
- Great taste consistently praised in user reviews
Limitations
- 11g of added sugar per serving — significantly more than clean-label competitors
- Contains citric acid and natural flavors without full disclosure of sources
- Moderate electrolyte content (500mg sodium) relative to sugar load
