Our Verdict
SaltStick DrinkMix is a well-formulated endurance athlete electrolyte with Informed Choice certification and a clean ingredient list. The 430mg sodium matches sweat loss ratios, and at $0.90/serving it offers solid value. The silicon dioxide anti-caking agent is the only filler, and the stevia-only sweetener approach is cleaner than many competitors.
