What does zero sugar hydration mean?

Zero sugar hydration focuses on electrolytes first – mainly sodium, potassium and magnesium – without relying on sugar for flavour or energy. These products are designed to support hydration and mineral balance while keeping carbohydrates and added sugars low.

In this collection you will find options such as:

• Zero-sugar drink mixes that dissolve in water
• Electrolyte capsules and drops for on-the-go convenience
• Fast-friendly formulas like ZeroLyte and other clean blends

Who is zero sugar hydration ideal for?

This collection is a great fit if you:

• Follow a keto, low-carb, carnivore or paleo style of eating
• Practise intermittent fasting and want hydration support that will not add sugar
• Prefer to avoid sugary sports drinks but still want support during exercise or hot weather
• Work long hours on your feet, in the sun or in hot indoor environments
• Simply feel better with lighter, cleaner hydration options

If you are not sure where to start, you can also explore LYTES’ guides on different electrolyte types and lifestyle-specific electrolytes to narrow down your best options.

How to choose the right zero sugar electrolyte

Your ideal product will depend on flavour preference, format and how much sodium you need.

• For strong, high-sodium hydration: Look at brands like LMNT that provide a higher sodium dose per serve for heavy sweaters, tough training and hot days.
• For everyday, versatile use: Consider options such as Redmond Re-Lyte or Ultima Replenisher, which offer a range of flavours and serving formats.
• For pure, minimalist formulas: Explore ZeroLyte and other clean, fasting-friendly mixes with minimal ingredients.
• For flexibility and stacking: Drops, liquids and capsules in the liquid electrolytes and capsule ranges can be added alongside other drinks or routines.

When to use zero sugar electrolytes

Zero sugar hydration is useful at different points in your day. Some common times LYTES customers reach for electrolytes include:

• First thing in the morning, especially when following a low-carb or fasting routine
• Before or during training sessions, runs or gym workouts
• On hot workdays, during outdoor activities or in the sauna
• Mid-afternoon, when plain water is not cutting it but more caffeine is not appealing

By shopping at LYTES, you can quickly filter for:

• Zero sugar and low-carb options
