Our Verdict
Just Ingredients markets itself on clean, whole-food formulations with real fruit ingredients instead of natural flavors. However, independent heavy metal testing casts serious doubt on their quality control -- the Mango Lemonade flavor had the highest lead level of any electrolyte powder tested, plus arsenic. The brand's own COAs show different results, creating a credibility gap. The electrolyte formula itself is reasonable but uses an inverted 3:1 potassium-to-sodium ratio that may not be optimal for hydration.
