2THIRTY vs LMNT: 1,000 mg of sodium in water versus a five-job tub built to be the base of the drink. Sodium, sugar, B-vitamins, liver support and cost per…
LMNT is the premium electrolyte packet. 2THIRTY is a 30-serving tub built to be the drink itself. Here's the honest side-by-side.
LMNT is a very good electrolyte packet — 1,000 mg of sodium in water, and that's the whole product. It does one job well. 2THIRTY does five, and it's built to be the base of a drink rather than just something you add to water. Put a scoop of LMNT in a paloma and you get a salty paloma. That's the difference.

LMNT makes sense if you want the highest sodium dose available in a single packet, you train long and sweat hard, and water is the only thing you plan to mix it into.
2THIRTY makes sense if you want hydration plus energy, focus, recovery and everyday defense in one scoop — and you want the same tub to build a mocktail or a cocktail at night.
Salt replacement after a hot, long session — LMNT has more sodium. Daily hydration that also has to taste good in a glass with soda and citrus — 2THIRTY, because it was designed to be the drink.
For raw sodium, yes — 1,000 mg per packet versus 300 mg per scoop. For everything else, no. LMNT is electrolytes only; 2THIRTY adds B-vitamins, adaptogens, L-Theanine and liver-support ingredients, and it mixes into an actual drink.
Not well. At 1,000 mg of sodium the salt dominates anything you put it in. 2THIRTY is formulated to be the base of the drink, zero-proof or with a spirit.
For daily hydration and most training, yes. If you're racing in heat or sweating heavily for 90+ minutes, add a second scoop or a salty snack.
