Thorne Daily Electrolytes

Ranked #1 in Electrolyte Powders

1335 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

NSF Certified for Sport is the strongest quality-assurance signal on this board, and Thorne's reputation for formulation stability is exactly what a multi-year ownership lens rewards. The only reason it is not higher is that direct current coverage is thinner than for the leaders.

Thorne Daily Electrolytes has zero sugar and only 5 calories, unlike traditional sports drinks that contain 20-30g of sugar per serving. It uses Himalayan pink salt for sodium and chelated minerals for better absorption, plus it's NSF Certified for Sport so you know it's free of banned substances.

Live it Up Rachel Gargano · reviewer · Nov 2025

Thorne Daily Electrolytes is a strong option for those seeking a zero-sugar hydration mix designed to optimize cellular hydration, aid recovery, and support energy levels. The product includes key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride, and is rigorously tested. However, its imbalanced sodium-to-potassium ratio and use of the filler silicon dioxide may not suit everyone. Also, Thorne’s extremely sweet taste doesn’t really match up to Live it Up Vital Minerals ’ flavor profiles.

Less so. The certification is most of what you are paying for, and its potassium content is low for the price. If testing is not a concern, Redmond Re-Lyte gives you a fuller mineral profile for less.

Sounds like waaaay too little potassium, probably a bit short on sodium as well. Depends how long you intend to go. If it's less than 10 days you'll probably be fine, if it's more i'd do more research. Most of the pre-packaged electrolyte supplements isn't for hardcore long term fasting and their balance of ingredients is such that you can't just do more packets.
