Most people think that only athletes or gym buffs need to drink electrolytes. But that isn’t the case, electrolytes are for everyone — we need a certain amount to function normally.
We can drink a lot of water in the hopes of replenishing our electrolytes but we dehydrate ourselves just as quickly. Talking, working, stress and daily chores are just some of the things that cause us to lose electrolytes.
Once our Health & Wellness editors found out that we can’t replenish electrolytes as quickly as we lose them. It got us thinking, “ There’s got to be something out there that can help us stay hydrated and feel fantastic!”
Even the experts agree:
“The brain sends messages along neural pathways through both chemical and electrical ways of signaling. And those pathways literally need to be lubricated enough by hydration that they can do that. Even for an electrical charge to pass, there has to be something that can conduct that charge.” — Tara Swart, MD*
After a quick Google search, two products kept popping up — Moon Juice’s Mini Dew™ and LMNT. Both offer products packed with electrolytes but we wanted to know what sets them apart.
With our goal of finding the best electrolyte supplement set, we compared the brands. Here’s what we found:
Key Similarities:
- Both contain more electrolytes than sports drinks
- Both help hydrate the body
- Both are sugar-free, vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free
Key Differences:
- Mini Dew™ is a 2 in 1 formula electrolytes + minerals | LMNT is just electrolytes
- Mini Dew™ contains ionic minerals and chelated essential minerals to support more than just hydration, helping mood, brain, hormones, hair and skin | LMNT contains no added iconic or chelated minerals
- Mini Dew™ has 270 mg Sodium (from microplastic-free Himalayan pink salt) | LMNT has 1,000mg Sodium (from salt)
- Mini Dew™ contains ionic minerals and chelated essential minerals to support more than just hydration, helping with mood, brain, hormones, hair, and skin
- LMNT focuses on replenishing electrolytes through salt
- Mini Dew has 5 chelated minerals + ionic minerals
- LMNT doesn’t appear to have this benefit
