This year SaltStick added a new way to replace electrolytes lost through sweat with the launch of its DrinkMix, a no-sugar, ready-to-mix powder designed to keep athletes hydrated and performing at their best. It’s available in three delicious flavors, Lemon-Lime, Tropical Mango, and Tart Orange. DrinkMix delivers the right balance of electrolytes to support athletic performance.
For more than 15 years, SaltStick products have been meeting the electrolyte needs of athletes during training, competition, or recreational activities – supporting countless people worldwide, from weekend warriors to international champions. The brand started with the launch of capsules in 2006, then introduced FastChews in 2015.

DrinkMix contains 430 mg of sodium and a balanced ratio of essential electrolytes, including 120mg of potassium, 44 mg of calcium, and 22 of magnesium – equal to two SaltStick Caps or eight SaltStick FastChews. It contains pretty basic ingredients, including Citric acid, fruit flavors (lemon/line, Orange, mango/pineapple), silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent), Rebaudioside A (Stevia extract- sweetener), beta carotene (coloring for lemon-lime and Orange) or Tumeric (Mango).
DrinkMix provides a scientifically-tested, balanced ratio of electrolytes that sets DrinkMix apart as an ideal no-sugar hydration tool.
Impressions
During exercise and physical activities, we sweat, which means we’re losing electrolytes. DrinkMix offers the proper ratio of replacement electrolytes to keep you hydrated, avoid heat stress, and prevent cramping.
DrinkMix is tasty, with an excellent combination of sweetness and saltiness, without being overbearing in either of those attributes. I liked that it replenished my electrolytes, letting me ride farther and longer and keeping me hydrated without any stomach discomfort. Its optimal blend of flavor, sweetness, and saltiness meant I thoroughly enjoyed sipping my water mix, so I drank more often and in significant quantities.
Mixing up a batch in a water bottle or hydration reservoir is easy, and I tended to use a Stick Pack or one scoop from the tub per 1 liter/16 ounces of water. Although it has some coloring (beta carotene or Tumeric), it seemed pretty invisible to me, and it didn’t stain the bottle or reservoirs, dissolved quickly, and didn’t clump or float around in the water.
Suggested use: Mix one packet into 16-20 oz. of water to your preferred concentration. Consume every 60-90 minutes during physical activity for up to five servings daily.
Let’s be honest; staying hydrated when drinking plain water becomes boring; it just doesn’t taste like anything. Hence having flavoring of some sort greatly helps you to drink the required amount of water. You need even more water than average as an athlete and the extra infusion electrolyte benefits performance. DrinkMix hits all of those requirements; flavor, sweetness, and saltiness (for electrolytes), and best of all, it’s yummy!
I tried all the flavors, and though they were all tasty, I liked Lemon-Lime the best.

Along the same lines, their FastChews are delicious, chewable tablets that provide a similar ratio of electrolytes to what your body loses through sweat. FastChews are ideal for anyone who sweats, including athletes and outdoor workers, or when you need a boost of electrolytes. Bring the FastChews along on a ride, hike, or run, in your pocket or pack, and use them when required. This DrinkMix offers the same benefits as their FastChews tablets but is consumed via water bottles and hydration reservoirs.
