Who buys it, and why
Electrolyte drink mix refers to powders and sticks of sodium, potassium and magnesium, often with sugar or sweeteners, mixed into water, sold by brands such as Liquid I.V., LMNT, Nuun, Drip Drop and many private labels. People search it to compare sodium content, sugar, flavours and price. In practice buyers are athletes, people in hot climates, travellers, people recovering from illness or a night out, and people on GLP-1 medications or low-carb diets. The category has grown quickly on social media. It is a repeat-purchase consumable with room for niche formulas and subscriptions, though crowded.
