Nuun Sport has the friendliest price in the category: a tube of fizzy tablets for well under ten dollars. But cheap-per-tablet and cheap-per-milligram are different things, and Nuun is a clean illustration of the gap. We pulled its pricing, checked July 2026, and ran both numbers.
Every price tier, in one table
Nuun sells a 10-tablet tube at retail nearly everywhere, with a 15% autoship discount on its own site. Figures checked July 2026.
| 10-tablet tube | $7.49 | $0.75/tablet |
|---|---|---|
| Per 100 mg of sodium | 25¢ | vs LMNT 13–15¢ |
| Cost per year (daily) | ~$274 | lowest sticker commitment |
Cheap tube, expensive milligrams
Nuun delivers 300 mg of sodium per tablet — the second-lightest dose among the majors — so the low sticker rides a small serving. Per 100 mg of sodium it’s about 25¢, more than LMNT (13–15¢) or Earth Energy (9–18¢). Match a higher-dose rival’s sodium and you’re dropping two or three tablets, which erases the price advantage. Nuun is genuinely the cheapest way to try the category and the best travel format; it’s just not the cheapest sodium. The alternatives page does that ranking.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Nuun Sport cost?
$7.49 for a 10-tablet tube — $0.75 a tablet — checked July 2026, the cheapest sticker in the category, or about $274 a year for daily use. A 15% autoship discount applies on Nuun’s own site.
Is Nuun Sport good value?
Cheap per tablet, but pricey per milligram of sodium: about 25¢ per 100 mg, more than LMNT or Earth Energy, because its 300 mg dose is light. It’s the best value only if a light dose and tablet portability are what you want.
How does Nuun’s price compare to LMNT?
Nuun’s tube is far cheaper up front ($0.75 vs $1.50 a serving), but LMNT delivers over three times the sodium, so per 100 mg LMNT (13–15¢) is cheaper than Nuun (25¢). Which is the better deal depends on how much sodium you actually want.
