Bought one called squincher on Amazon that's pretty good. $15 for 50 packets on sale. Tastes the same as Ultima which is also very good.

Here's an analysis I did a couple months back and posted in another thread:
quote:
I tried this tonight in a 750ml bike bottle and it was pretty good (items purchased from Wal-Mart):
1/4 TSP Himalayan salt (Great Value Wal-Mart)
1/4 TSP Lite salt (Morton)
1 packet True Lemon DRINK MIX (not crystallized lemon)
This gave:
Sodium 880mg
Potassium 350mg
Carbs 3g
Tastes great. I also threw in 50mg magnesium bisglycinate. That sweetened it up slightly more, but it was fine without it. Without the magnesium, this runs $0.28 per serving. With the magnesium (expensive Thorne brand), it is $0.46 per serving. You can get it down to $0.31 per serving using the Nutricost magnesium powder off of Amazon.
You might be able to get the cost and/or carbs lower by using a different drink mix than TruLemon brand. For instance, Great Value has some zero sugar drink mix that, if used, would lower the price by $0.08 per serving. So if you went that route, your cost would be $0.20 per serving without magnesium, $0.23 per serving with Nutricost magnesium. BUT it is sweetened with aspartame, while TruLemon is sweetened with stevia and cane sugar. I like to avoid aspartame, and a couple of grams of carbs per bottle isn’t going to kill me.
For reference, Relyte’s ingredients and cost are:
Sodium 810mg
Potassium 400mg
Magnesium 50mg
Calcium 60mg
Chloride 1280mg
Coconut water powder 80mg
Price: $0.64 per serving with Amazon Subscribe & Save, $0.75 without.
LMNT is:
Sodium 1000mg
Potassium 200mg
Magnesium 60mg
Carbs 2g
Price: $1.28 per serving with Amazon Subscribe & Save, $1.50 without.
Someone mentioned Hydrate Pro, so here it is:
Sodium 1000mg
Potassium 200mg
Magnesium 60mg
Carbs 1.5g
Hydrate Pro is actually more expensive than Relyte (but about 1/2 the cost of LMNT) when you look at the cost per serving: $0.66 per serving with Amazon Subscribe & Save, $0.78 without.

I'm doing Keto right now and was looking for minimal carbs. I tried Body Armor recently and it does the trick. 1g of carbs per packet I think. Seems to do the trick. 700MG Potassium, 510MG of Sodium, and has a little calcium, magnesium, and zinc in it too.

Snake Juice, but I mainly use electrolyte supplements for fasting.
I may do a homemade one just for workout recovery, though. It's worth it to do a test.

I’ve used Trioral for a few years. Not flavored but also not bad. The packets are larger than most others. I mix 3 packets in a gallon jug of water. I believe it recommends 4, but that’s just what I do. I get them from Amazon in a 100 pack case. Looks like they’re $40 but every once in a while they go on sale.
