Sports Drinks vs. DRGN SALT: What Fuels You Better?

Sports Drinks vs Salt Based Electrolytes

Sports drinks are everywhere — from gas stations to gym bags — but are they really helping your performance and health? Many are loaded with sugar, artificial dyes, and low-quality electrolytes that might be doing more harm than good.

At DRGN SALT, we take a different approach. Our zero sugar, salt-based electrolyte mix is designed to support real performance and recovery — without the crash. Let’s break down why DRGN SALT outperforms traditional sports drinks in five key areas:

1. Sugar-Free vs. Sugar Crash

Most sports drinks pack 30–60 grams of sugar per bottle. You may get a temporary spike in energy, but it's sure to be followed by a large crash. DRGN SALT skips the sugar entirely, delivering hydration and energy support without messing with your insulin or mood.

2. Real Electrolytes, Not Just Flavored Water

Many sports drinks are low in actual electrolytes. They often taste overly-sweet and don’t really replenish much. DRGN SALT delivers science-based doses of sodium and potassium, helping you actually recover what you lose in sweat.

3. No Artificial Dyes or Fillers

Bright blue or neon green isn’t a performance enhancer — it’s just food dye. DRGN SALT is clean, naturally flavored, and free from junk ingredients that weigh you down or irritate your gut.

4. Optimal Sodium to Potassium Ratio

Most sports drinks contain more potassium than sodium — the opposite of what your body needs during sweat loss. DRGN SALT uses a 4:1 ratio of sodium to potassium to match what’s lost during intense effort.

5. Long-Term Health Focus

Chronic intake of sugary sports drinks has been linked to weight gain, insulin resistance, and metabolic issues. DRGN SALT prioritizes hydration and health without compromising long-term performance goals.

The Smarter Way to Hydrate

Hydration isn’t just about drinking fluids — it’s about replacing the right minerals in the right ratios. With zero sugar and 5 key electrolytes, DRGN SALT keeps you strong, focused, and cramp-free.
