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 Skratch Labs Hydration Sport Drink Mix
Endurance athletes and cyclists who want real-food ingredients during training
Skratch Labs is a favorite among cyclists and endurance athletes for good reason — the real fruit ingredients create a genuinely pleasant taste without artificial additives. The sugar is intentional for fuel during exercise, but the moderate electrolyte content means heavier sweaters may need to supplement.
Strengths
- Real fruit flavoring — uses actual freeze-dried fruit instead of artificial flavors
- Non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free with no artificial anything
- Light, refreshing taste that's easy to drink during exercise without stomach upset
Limitations
- Contains 9g sugar per serving from cane sugar — moderate but present
- Lower sodium (380mg) and overall electrolyte content than high-performance options
- Resealable bag format can be messy and harder to measure precisely
