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 Nuun Sport Hydration
Active people who want ultra-portable, low-calorie electrolytes for everyday hydration
Nuun's effervescent tablet format is unmatched for convenience — drop one in your water bottle and go. The low sugar and calorie count make it ideal for daily use. The trade-off is lower electrolyte content per serving, making it better for light activity than extreme exertion.
Strengths
- Unique effervescent tablet format — just drop in water, no scooping or stirring
- Only 1g sugar and 15 calories per tablet — among the lightest options
- Compact tube is ultra-portable for hiking, travel, and gym bags
Limitations
- Lower electrolyte content per tablet (300mg sodium) than powder competitors
- Contains stevia leaf extract which some find has a lingering aftertaste
- Tablets can be slow to fully dissolve in cold water
