   • The 'no sugar' is exactly why I can't use LMNT. They use Stevia, which tastes likes chemicals and makes me nauseous. I make my own or use one of the commercial brands that use sugar. The stevia brands are much more common. YouTube · 1 likes under a 3K-view post: Homemade LMNT Electrolyte Drink ACTUALLY Hydrate Yourself!

5. Wants a lower-sodium version to split across more water 1 mention

   • I def want to try this because I want to cut down on the sodium. I don’t want 1000mg of sodium in each packet. Their lemonade is wonderful but I’d rather have two bottles of water over the course of 3 hrs with 500mg each but with the full lemonade flavor.
