The main differences
Sodium that respects the work. At ~1,000 mg per stick, doingwell sits in the same sodium tier as LMNT — because at real training intensity, that’s where meaningful electrolyte replacement starts.
Monk fruit, not stevia. We chose organic monk fruit for taste and tolerance — no metallic finish and no “diet drink” aftertaste.
Banned substance tested. Coconut Lime, Raspberry, and Mango 500 are all Certified with Informed Sport — every batch tested for 285+ substances banned in sport. Built for athletes who actually get tested.
FAQ
Is doingwell just an LMNT clone?
No. The sodium tier is similar on purpose — that’s the training-appropriate dose. The differences are in sweetener (organic monk fruit instead of stevia), magnesium dose (~150 mg vs 60 mg), and banned substance testing (the full doingwell line is Certified with Informed Sport).
Why monk fruit instead of stevia?
Taste and tolerance. Monk fruit gives a cleaner sweetness without the metallic finish that turns a lot of people off stevia.
What does “Certified with Informed Sport” mean?
Every batch is independently tested for 285+ substances banned in sport using ISO 17025 accredited methods. It’s the same program trusted by pro and Olympic athletes.
Is the higher sodium level right for me?
If you sweat hard regularly, it’s designed for that use case. If you want a milder daily option, see our Mango 500 Daily Hydration stick.
