LMNT vs. Liquid I.V.

No single winner

Neither is better for everyone. LMNT Citrus Salt lists 1,000 mg sodium and no sugar per stick; original Liquid I.V. Lemon Lime lists 500 mg sodium, 370 mg potassium and 11 g sugar.

Twice the sodium against a sugar-containing formula: the listed facts side by side.

What the facts make plain

  • Sugar: LMNT lists none; original Liquid I.V. lists 11 g, all added.
  • Potassium: Liquid I.V. lists more per stick (370 mg vs 200 mg).
  • Magnesium: LMNT lists 60 mg; the Liquid I.V. label lists none.
  • One-time price per stick is close: $1.50 for LMNT, $1.56 for Liquid I.V.

Consider LMNT for 1,000 mg sodium with no sugar; consider original Liquid I.V. for 500 mg sodium with more potassium in a sugar-containing formula.
