The electrolyte supplement market has exploded with options ranging from $1 to $4 per serving. We tested 12 popular brands for taste, ingredient quality, sodium content, and value to help you choose the right one for your training.
LMNT and Drip Drop emerged as top picks for serious athletes due to their high sodium content of 1,000 mg per serving, which matches what sports scientists recommend for heavy sweaters. Liquid IV and Nuun offered good balance for moderate exercisers.
Products marketed with proprietary blends or excessive added sugars scored lowest in our rankings. The ideal electrolyte supplement should list specific mineral amounts and contain minimal unnecessary ingredients.
