Electrolyte supplements
An electrolyte stick is judged on the drink it makes, not on the sodium in the packet: the same 500 mg is a strong drink in 250 mL and a weak one in a litre. We take the sodium on the label and the water its directions mix it with, and compare the sodium per litre with the AIS's general guide of 0.5–0.7 g per litre. Needs differ a lot with how much and how salty someone sweats, so the guide is a starting point. A label that gives no amount of water is shown, not graded. Commission never changes the order.

11 products. The verdict judges one serving, as the label gives it. Read the sodium per litre, as mixed guide for the studies behind the dose. "Proof" is a published independent lab test, a certifier listing we read on the certifier's own site (usually for listed lots only), or "Label claim only" when we found neither.
