What Makes doingwell Different from Other Electrolyte Drinks?
There are plenty of electrolyte drinks out there. Here's what makes doingwell different.
Higher Sodium for Real Performance
doingwell has approximately 1,000mg sodium per stick on the Performance line, while most competitors offer 100-380mg
sodium per serving. When you sweat hard, you can lose 1,000-2,000mg of sodium per hour. Most drinks don't come close to
replacing what you actually lose. We built our formula for real sweat loss, not just flavor. Prefer a lighter daily
option? Our Mango 500 sits at 500mg sodium per stick.
Zero Sugar, Zero Compromises
We're zero sugar, but we didn't cheat to get there. No stevia (avoids the metallic aftertaste), no sugar alcohols (no
gut issues), and we use organic monk fruit for clean sweetness. A lot of "zero sugar" drinks either taste like diet soda
or use sugar alcohols that can mess with your stomach. We chose monk fruit because it works.
Certified with Informed Sport — Every Batch
The full doingwell line — Coconut Lime, Raspberry, and Mango 500 — is Certified with Informed Sport. Every batch is
independently tested for 285+ substances banned in sport using ISO 17025 accredited methods, on top of our testing for
heavy metals, microbes, and stability. Sean O'Malley is a UFC fighter who's been burned by tainted supplements. One bad
batch can end a career. That's why we test every single batch — it's not optional, it's the foundation.
Maltodextrin-Free Flavors
Our organic natural flavors don't use maltodextrin as a carrier. A lot of "clean" brands use maltodextrin (a
fast-digesting carb) to carry their flavors, which sneaks sugars and carbs into your drink. We don't.
Organic Ingredients Whenever Possible
We use organic monk fruit extract, organic bamboo extract, organic coconut water powder, and organic natural flavors. We
choose organic and naturally-derived ingredients where it makes sense for performance and quality, not just for
marketing.
Built by an Athlete Who Can't Afford Risks
Sean O'Malley co-founded doingwell because he needed something he could trust. The rule: if he won't put it in his body,
it doesn't go in the product. That's not a tagline — it's the standard.
What About LMNT, Liquid I.V., and Others?
We respect the competition, but here's how we're different.
LMNT has high sodium like us, but uses stevia (metallic taste for some people). We use monk fruit instead. Liquid I.V.
has lower sodium (approximately 500mg) and uses sugar — good for light activity, but not built for hard training.
Gatorade and Powerade are low sodium, high sugar, and built for mass market taste, not performance. Generic hydration
powders are often under-dosed on sodium and use cheap fillers. We're transparent about every milligram.
The Bottom Line
If you want a drink that tastes good and feels "healthy," there are plenty of options. If you want serious hydration
built for performance, banned substance tested, and created by someone who can't afford to cut corners, you're in the
right place.
