An LMNT or Liquid I.V. alternative in the UK
If you know LMNT sticks or Liquid I.V. sachets and want a UK-made option, here is how the labels compare: sodium, sugar, amino acids, format and price per serving. Every figure is dated.
If you want an LMNT alternative in the UK, Lula is in the same 1,000 mg sodium per serving tier, and adds potassium, magnesium, calcium and 1.2 g of named amino acids, in a UK-made glass jar. If you want a Liquid I.V. alternative, Lula has no added sugar (0.17 g per scoop) and 1,000 mg sodium; the Hydration Multiplier (UK) stick states 530 mg (checked 20 October 2026). We do not claim Lula is better than either.
- Lula, LMNT and Puresport Ultra each state 1,000 mg sodium per serving (checked 20 Oct 2026).
- Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier (UK) states 530 mg sodium and contains sugar and dextrose.
- Lula's price per scoop depends on the option you choose. See the product page for today's price.

What "LMNT alternative UK" usually means
People looking for LMNT in the UK usually want the same high-sodium tier, in a format that is easy to buy here. On its ingredients page (checked 20 October 2026), LMNT states 1,000 mg sodium, 200 mg potassium and 60 mg magnesium per stick, with no sugar and no named amino acids. It comes in single-serve sticks.
Lula states 1,000 mg sodium per 6.5 g scoop, with 250 mg potassium, 75 mg magnesium and 50 mg calcium, plus taurine 500 mg, glycine 450 mg and alanine 250 mg. It has 0.17 g of sugars, with no added sugar, sweetened with stevia. It comes in a 20-scoop glass jar and is made in the UK.
That is an overlap in sodium and a difference in the rest of the formula and the format. It is not a claim that Lula is better than LMNT.
What "Liquid I.V. alternative" usually means
Liquid I.V. is familiar from UK shelves. Its Hydration Multiplier (UK product page, checked 20 October 2026) states 530 mg sodium and 370 mg potassium per stick, and contains sugar and dextrose, with 13 g of carbohydrate per stick. No named amino acids are listed.
Liquid I.V. also sells a range called Liquid I.V. Sugar-Free. On 6 October 2026 its UK product page claimed 0 g sugar and an amino blend, and named its minerals without milligram amounts. Lula has no added sugar: 0.17 g of sugars per scoop, sweetened with stevia.
People searching for a Liquid I.V. alternative often want less sugar, or simply a UK brand. Lula has no added sugar, 1,000 mg sodium per scoop, 1.2 g of amino acids listed in milligrams, no caffeine, and it is made in the UK. Lula does not borrow any competitor's claims or studies.
Price per serving
Lula comes as a single 20 scoop jar, a 2 jar offer (40 scoops) or a monthly subscription. Prices can change, so see the product page for today's price and the cost per scoop.
Competitor prices are not compared here, because pack sizes and offers change often. Check each brand's own site for its current price.
