Method
How the cost comparison works
- 1. Keep exact variants. Brand-level averages are not substituted for the package and formula in the source record.
- 2. Require a dated Canadian-facing listing. A package price, labelled serving count, checked date, and retailer URL must all be present.
- 3. Calculate cost per serving. Displayed package price ÷ labelled servings.
- 4. Normalize sodium separately. Cost per serving ÷ listed sodium mg × 1,000.
- 5. Preserve caveats. Imported, promotional, member-priced, or unavailable listings are not disguised as ordinary shelf prices.

Direct answers
Cheapest electrolyte questions
What is the cheapest electrolyte product in Canada?
In SALTBLAST's dated Canadian price sample, Vitassium Capsules (Original, 100 capsules) has the lowest calculated cost per labelled serving at $0.60. This is a price observation, not a quality ranking, and the live price may have changed.
Which electrolyte has the lowest cost per 1,000 mg sodium?
In the same snapshot, Vitassium Capsules (Original, 100 capsules) has the lowest calculated cost per 1,000 mg of listed sodium at $1.20. That metric rewards sodium quantity only and should not be read as a recommended dose or overall product score.
Why are cost per serving and sodium value different rankings?
A cheap serving may contain relatively little sodium, while a more expensive serving may contain much more. Cost per serving answers a package-budget question; cost per 1,000 mg sodium normalizes one label quantity. Neither accounts for taste, carbohydrate, other minerals, tolerance, shipping, or personal needs.
Do these Canadian electrolyte prices include tax and shipping?
No. Calculations use the recorded displayed package price divided by labelled servings. Tax, shipping, membership fees, duties, subscriptions, deposits, promotions, and later price changes are not standardized unless a product note explicitly says otherwise.
