    When I'm looking to purchase a supplement I want to look at all the details of the products.

    Therefore, in this post, I looked at prices, ingredients, and different forms of electrolytes. I even priced out the servings of each electrolyte.

    Most of the comparisons will be shown in tables for easy viewing.

    Near the end of this article, I also have a discount code for you, if you choose one of the brands.

    Electrolytes and Ingredients in Re-Lyte Hydration and Nuun

    Nuun Daily Hydration

    13 - Comparing Electrolyte Powders: Relyte vs. Nuun

    The supplements in Nuun are sodium (bicarbonate, carbonate, sea salt), magnesium (carbonate), potassium (bicarbonate), chloride (as sea salt), and calcium (carbonate).

    Ingredients used for flavor are sorbitol, dextrose, stevia leaf extract, and natural flavors.

    Other ingredients found in Nuun are citric acid and safflower oil. The Raspberry Lemonade flavor uses beet powder color. View other flavors for slight variants.

    Strawberry Lemonade - Comparing Electrolyte Powders: Relyte vs. Nuun

    The supplements in Re-Lyte Hydration are salt from Redmond Real Salt, magnesium (malate and glycinate), potassium (citrate), chloride, calcium (carbonate), and coconut water powder.

    Ingredients used for flavor are stevia leaf extract, natural flavors, and GMO-free citric acid.

    Amounts of Electrolytes in Powder

    To keep things standard in comparing the amounts of electrolytes in each brand it's always good to know how much powder is in each serving.

    There are 4 grams of powder in Nuun and 6.3 grams in the Re-Lyte Hydration.

    NameMagnesium Potassium Sodium Calcium Chloride
    Re-Lyte Hydration50 mg400 mg810 mg60 mg1280 mg
    Nuun Daily Hydration20 mg125 mg200 mg30 mg75 mg
    This table looks at the total amount of electrolytes in each brand per serving.

    The top 3 electrolytes you will hear that we need most in keto are sodium, potassium, and magnesium. We must replenish these with food or through a supplement.

    On a side note, most Americans are not getting enough magnesium in their diets.

    Flavors of Each Brand

    Nuun Daily Hydration

    There are 4 grams of carbs in each serving.

    This table looks at the different forms of electrolytes from each brand.

    The Difference between Potassium Bicarbonate and Potassium Citrate

    Potassium Image - Comparing Electrolyte Powders: Relyte vs. Nuun

    Potassium citrate is used to stop kidney stones that can happen if someone has gout. It's also used to treat kidney stones. Potassium citrate also alkalizes urine (source).

    Potassium bicarbonate is used to treat heartburn and to replenish potassium in the body (source).

    The Difference between Magnesium Glycinate and Malate and Carbonate

    Magnesium glycinate has been found to help those who are dealing with cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory diseases, and diabetes. It even helps the quality of sleep and neurological functions (source).

    Magnesium carbonate acts as an antacid, to help with heartburn after a meal (source).

    All of these forms of magnesium are easily absorbed.

    Calcium Carbonate

    Calcium Carbonate proves beneficial in boosting the calcium levels within our bodies. Furthermore, its utilization extends to aiding in conditions arising from excessive stomach acid production. (source).

    Prices Per Serving

    When I'm looking at getting supplements, price is a major factor in my discussion. I have this table below on the price per serving and then another table on the price per electrolyte.

    NamePriceServingsPrice/Serving
    Re-Lyte Hydration$41.9960$0.70
    Nuun Daily Hydration$6.99 (1)100$0.70
    When you subscribe to Re-Lyte or use my KKN15 code the price is $35.69. The discount will bring the $/serving to $0.59.

    Price Per Electrolyte

    NamePrice/MagnesiumPrice/PotassiuimPrice/Sodium
    Re-Lyte Hydration$0.84$0.10$0.05
    Ultima$0.45$0.18$0.82

    What are the benefits of Redmond Re-Lyte?

    One benefit of Redmond's Re-Lyte is that it’s formulated with experts to include a 2:1 sodium-to-potassium ratio, plus magnesium, chloride, calcium, and the 60+ trace minerals from Real Salt. (The Unflavored variety does not have calcium.)

    Another great benefit of Redmond's Re-Lyte Hydration mix is that it's easier to mix compared to their previous Re-Lyte Electrolyte powder.

    The new formula has the same amounts of electrolytes, 0 carbs per serving, and still no junk with great flavor.

    Are There Single-Serve Sizes for Re-Lyte Hydration and Ultima?

    Yes, there are single-serve packets for both Re-Lyte Hydration and Nuun. Nuun has tablets and Re-Lyte Hydration has single-serve packets.

    Why I Like Re-Lyte Hydration More than Ultima

    • I would rather consume the form of magnesium in Relyte compared to the kind in Nuun.
    • I also like the form of potassium in Redmond's, citrate, compared to Nuun's, for my needs.
    • There are more amounts of electrolytes in Re-Lyte Hydration, which can be hard for me to get in every day.
    • I love the source of the sodium that Redmond Real Salt uses, as there are extra minerals in there. Plus it tastes better than sodium chloride.

    Discount on Redmond's Products

    If you want to try a Re-Lyte Hydration mix, use my code KKN15 to get 15% off. You can use this code on any of their products, such as their salt or even toothpaste.
