A real dose at a premium rate
The good news: unlike the token-sodium sticks, Waterboy’s 550 mg is a real dose, so your per-milligram cost is defensible — about 30–38¢ per 100 mg of sodium. The catch is that it’s still pricier per milligram than LMNT (13–15¢) or Earth Energy (9–18¢), and its supporting minerals (140 mg potassium, 20 mg magnesium) are light. You’re paying a premium for a clean single-purpose sodium stick. The alternatives page ranks the cheaper-per-milligram options.
