Our Verdict
BodyArmor Flash IV delivers the highest total electrolyte content in the category (2,230mg) with the highest potassium (700mg) at a competitive $0.60/serving -- an impressive value proposition. The zero-sugar, natural color, no-filler formulation is cleaner than most mainstream competitors. The main drawback is the use of Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Carbonate, and Zinc Oxide -- all cheaply sourced, poorly absorbed mineral forms that undercut the impressive headline numbers.
