Why people switch
Salt-based electrolytes work. They shouldn't cost $548 a year.
Hydrate Pro is a high-sodium electrolyte with the formula you already know works: 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium, no sugar. Made in an NSF- and GMP-certified facility in the USA.
We sell in canisters instead of stick packs, and we don't spend on podcast sponsorships or influencer deals. That's where the price difference comes from — not the formula. $0.78/serving.
Why switch
Comparison based on nutrition labels and listed retail prices.
Why we built it
"I started with LMNT. It worked — it just cost a fortune."
I love salt-based electrolytes. Discovering them genuinely changed my training — I eat a mostly clean diet, but it turned out sodium was the thing holding me back.
I started with LMNT, then tried most of the others. They worked. But they were so expensive — and since I drink mine at home, I didn't need the individually wrapped stick packs I was paying a premium for. I tried mixing my own. The flavor was terrible.
So my partner and I built Hydrate Pro with two non-negotiable goals: make the best salt-based electrolyte formula on the market — backed by science — and price it so anyone can afford it.

Proof, not marketing
We said "same formula." Here's the lab report.
We test every batch and publish the results. We'd rather show you the numbers than ask you to trust the label.
| Per serving | Label claim | Lab-verified |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 1,000mg | 1,199mg |
| Potassium | 200mg | 211mg |
| Magnesium (glycinate) | 60mg | 65mg |
- Tested at 1,199mg sodium. We claim 1,000mg and don't round down.
- Magnesium as glycinate — verified. The better-absorbed form, not cheap oxide.
- Screened for heavy metals & pathogens. Lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium all pass USP limits; E. coli, salmonella, S. aureus absent.

What's in it
Three electrolytes. No filler. That's the formula.
Sodium, potassium, magnesium, stevia. Nothing you need to Google.
Fruit Punch and Lime flavors · 45 servings per canister · Made in the USA
How it works
One scoop, 16 oz of water, done.
No ritual, no guesswork — and here's exactly what to expect on taste.
Scoop
One level scoop per 16–24 oz of water. Full scoop after a hard session, half on a rest day — the canister lets you dial it in.
Mix
Stir or shake. It dissolves clear — no chalk, no grit sitting at the bottom of the glass.
Taste
Salt-forward — that's 1,000mg of real sodium doing its job — rounded out with Fruit Punch or Lime. If you've had LMNT, you know the territory. Not too sweet, no weird aftertaste.
People who switched
Not testimonials. Actual reviews.
"Hydrate Pro is the best. I've tried many electrolyte brands, including LMNT, and Hydrate Pro beats them all. The fruit punch flavor is awesome and doesn't taste salty at all in my opinion. Also, the sodium content is the highest I've seen on the market. It dissolves easily in my water and is way more affordable than LMNT. Couldn't recommend it enough."
"Been using LMNT for months and it was getting pricey"
We switched to Hydrate Pro and will never go back. Thank you so much for making such a great product.
"LMNT but cheaper"
Read the labels. This is well worth the price.
"Great ingredients, taste, and price"
The ingredients are the same as my previous brand, with a better taste. The mixabilty is great. The package is the right size to take in my tennis bag and refill without the waste of stick packs.
"Just like LMNT but cheaper"
Just like LMNT but cheaper. I like this flavor and their lime with no funky aftertaste. Have done a few 30 mile rides with this mix in my bottles and they seem to do the job just fine.
"Tastes so good I drink it all day"
Tastes so good I find myself drinking it all day. Great flavor, really no complaints other than I drink too much of it.
"Lime and Fruit Punch are SO good"
These electrolytes are fantastic. The lime flavor is my favorite. It tastes lime-ey, and not too salty. The best part is that there's no sugar, and super clean ingredients.

Common questions
Before you switch
Is this really the same formula as LMNT?
The three electrolyte doses are identical: 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium. Both are sugar-free and stevia-sweetened. One small difference worth calling out: Hydrate Pro uses magnesium glycinate, which is better absorbed and tolerated by most people than the cheaper oxide form some brands use.
Is it lab-tested?
Yes — we lab-test every batch for potency and safety, and it's made in NSF- and GMP-certified facilities. Our latest Certificate of Analysis verified 1,199mg sodium per serving (we claim 1,000mg), magnesium in the glycinate form, and clean results for heavy metals and pathogens. See the full lab report ↑
Why is it so much cheaper?
Two reasons. First, we sell in canisters instead of individually wrapped stick packs — that alone cuts packaging cost dramatically. Second, we don't spend on podcast sponsorships, influencer deals, or a massive marketing budget. The formula costs what it costs. The difference in price is everything around it.
How does it taste compared to LMNT?
It's a high-sodium electrolyte sweetened with stevia — so the general flavor territory is similar. We make Fruit Punch and Lime, and both mix clear without any chalky residue. Honestly, most of our repeat customers say taste is what keeps them reordering. But you don't have to take our word for it — the money-back guarantee means you can try it without risking anything.
Can I use HSA/FSA to pay?
Yes — Hydrate Pro is HSA/FSA eligible. Just use your benefits card at checkout.
Why a canister instead of stick packs?
Control. A scoop lets you adjust your dose — half scoop on a rest day, full scoop after a hard session, double up if that's what you need. Stick packs lock you into one fixed serving every time and generate a pile of waste. The canister is also a big part of why the cost per serving is so much lower.

One canister is 45 servings — about six weeks at a serving a day. Most people who switch grab two, so they're not reordering every month. The more you keep on hand, the lower your price per serving drops — all the way to $0.62 vs LMNT's $1.50.
