LMNT Raspberry Salt 75
The same 1000 mg of sodium as LMNT's own Citrus Salt, but Raspberry Salt's panel declares 1 g of total carbohydrate against Citrus Salt's zero — a small, real difference in an otherwise identical formula.

The overall score is the average of what's below, each measured against every other electrolyte we've reviewed.

Sodium dose ?Sodium per serving, on a scale topping out at 1000 mg — a single dose covering the top of what's typically lost to sweat in an hour.100
Value (cost/1000mg Na) ?What it costs to get 1000 mg of sodium from this product. Not physiological -- a market-based scale from $3.00 (0) to $1.00 (100).75
Potassium ?Potassium per serving, on a scale topping out at 200 mg — roughly the upper end of typical hourly sweat loss.100
Calcium ?Calcium per serving. Weaker grounding than sodium/potassium -- sweat calcium loss is minor and not really a primary target during exercise; the 100 mg ceiling is this catalog's practical high end, not a physiological one.0
Magnesium ?Magnesium per serving, on a scale topping out at 60 mg, roughly matching cited hourly sweat-loss ranges.100

Verdict
what it does · what it costsWhat it does well
- 1000 mg of sodium, matching every other LMNT flavor for the highest single-serving dose in this set.
- 200 mg of potassium and 60 mg of magnesium, unchanged from Citrus Salt.
- Six-ingredient label, differing from Citrus Salt only in the flavoring.
What it costs you
- Zero calcium, the same gap shared by every LMNT flavor here.
- $1.50 a stick for 1000 mg of sodium is mid-pack cost; 4Endurance reaches 1000 mg at roughly $1.08 for the equivalent dose across four tablets.
- 1000 mg in a single stick may be more sodium than some athletes want in one dose.

Who this is for
the numbers, appliedThe field tells you what it is. This is who should act on it.
Worth the money if
- You already use LMNT Citrus Salt and want flavor variety at the same sodium dose.
- You want a large single dose of sodium with next to no carbohydrate.
Look elsewhere if
- You want calcium in the same product.
- You'd rather titrate sodium in smaller doses across the day.
