Buyer guide · for people chasing better hydration
Choosing an Electrolyte Mix
A hydration mix is its panel, so this lane is a reading exercise: sodium, potassium, and magnesium in milligrams, the sugar line, and a sodium level matched to your activity and diet rather than a marketing color. The number is the product.
What matters most here
- The electrolyte panel — sodium, potassium, magnesium in milligrams per serving
- The sugar line — a little aids absorption, a lot is just soda
- Price per serving, and a sodium level matched to your activity and diet
Honest note · Don’t buy on flavor and color — and if you manage blood pressure or a kidney or heart condition, take the sodium and potassium numbers to your clinician first.
