Thorne Daily Electrolytes - Mango Limeade Review

Thorne Daily Electrolytes in Mango Limeade is well liked overall, with about 771 ratings across the stores and most of them four or five stars. A minority of buyers rated it low, mainly because of sweetness and the stevia sweetener. **What buyers say it did for them:** Most describe a pleasant, refreshing hydration drink rather than a dramatic effect. One buyer says it "completely stopped my legs from cramping when I sleep." Another is more guarded: "Can't tell the benefits you are supposed to be obtaining." The store summaries add that people use it before workouts, on hot days and every morning. One Vitacost reviewer taking a med says it helped with exhaustion and replaced minerals lost when drinking only water. **What they complain about:** The main complaint is sweetness from stevia. One buyer found it "overpoweringly sweet that even with 2x the recommended amount of water," and stopped using it. Another cannot tolerate stevia, says it makes their heart race, and objected that it is not listed directly as an ingredient. A third says "this one is horrible" while praising the other flavors. The store histogram shows roughly one in seven ratings at one or two stars, though the page does not say why. **Taste, mixing and form:** Reviewers who like it say it is "not too sweat but doesn't taste like salt" and describe it as "very refreshing and delicious." Mango Limeade is singled out as a standout, though one reviewer isn't "in love with the flavors." Reviewers report that it dissolves quickly without clumping or chalkiness. Vitacost reviewers describe a mild stevia sweetness with a light citric note, and one found it a tad too sweet and added water or ice. The single-serve stick packs are praised as convenient for travel. Some reviews on these pages cover other flavors (watermelon, blackberry, blood orange); I've used them only where they speak to the product generally. Gummy and capsule reviews were left out. **Value for money:** Only one reviewer addresses price directly. They call it "extremely fair" compared with a rival sold in a glass jar that is inconvenient and chalky and costs more. Beyond that, the store summaries give no real value discussion. **Who it seems to suit and who it did not:** It seems to suit people who want a not-too-salty, not-too-sweet electrolyte mix to carry around, including active people and anyone who wants lower sodium than other brands. One reviewer says "I like it better than LMNT," and another likes that it doesn't have "as high of a sodium content as others." Vitacost reviewers also like the zero sugar formula, the lack of artificial additives and colors, and the NSF Certified for Sport status. It suited people who are not sensitive to stevia. It did not suit anyone who dislikes or cannot tolerate stevia, or who is sensitive to sweetness. A few buyers who disliked this flavor recommended trying the others in the line instead.
