Ultima Replenisher Daily Electrolyte Powder, Variety Pack — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Ultima Replenisher Daily Electrolyte Powder, Variety Pack by Ultima Replenisher OKAY — score 60/90.

One of the cleaner formulas in the hydration aisle: real mineral salts, vitamin C, stevia and vegetable-based colors — no sugar, no artificial dyes. The catch is the dose: about 55mg of sodium per stick, a token amount for a product named 'Replenisher'. Fine as a flavored mineral supplement; don't expect it to replace a real sweat session's electrolytes.

Why this verdict

• Ingredient list is almost entirely functional mineral salts (magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, manganese citrates/phosphates) with clean names
• No sugar, no artificial sweeteners or colors — sweetened with stevia, colored with carrot and hibiscus
• Sodium — the main electrolyte you actually lose in sweat — is present at only a token ~55mg per serving, undercutting the replenishment premise
• Still a lab-blended powder with natural flavors and isolated stevia, so it's a supplement, not food — signals genuinely balance
