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 Pedialyte AdvancedCare Plus

Illness recovery and clinical dehydration — the medical-grade rehydration standard

Pedialyte is the undisputed standard for medical rehydration, trusted by hospitals worldwide. The AdvancedCare Plus formula adds prebiotics for gut support. However, artificial sweeteners and dyes significantly lower its ingredient quality score for health-conscious daily use.

Strengths

  • Medical-grade rehydration formula backed by decades of pediatric clinical use
  • PreActiv prebiotics support gut health during illness recovery
  • Trusted by hospitals and pediatricians — the gold standard for dehydration treatment

Limitations

  • Contains artificial sweeteners (sucralose and acesulfame potassium)
  • Includes artificial flavors and dyes (Red 40, Blue 1) in some varieties
  • Medicinal taste profile — not designed for everyday enjoyment
