LMNT vs PH 1000
Short answer: LMNT Citrus Salt lists 1,000 mg sodium per stick. One PH 1000 packet lists 500 mg in 500 mL, which becomes 1,000 mg/L (SALTBLAST calculation). The matching-looking “1,000” figures use different bases: per stick versus per litre.

One number, two bases
“1,000” does not mean the same thing here
LMNT Citrus Salt
1,000 mg
Per 1 stick. The recorded direction is 1 stick in 473–946 ml (16–32 us fl oz) water, to taste, so the prepared concentration is a range: 1,057–2,114 mg/L, depending on water volume.
PH 1000 packet
500 mg ÷ 500 mL
One packet in 500 mL supplies the recorded 500 mg. The same mix normalized to one litre is 1,000 mg/L (SALTBLAST calculation).
Decision first
Which label is the closer match?
LMNT label traits
More sodium in one packet unit
The exact stick lists 1,000 mg, 0 g sugar, and Stevia. Its broad water range lets the prepared concentration vary within the label direction.
PH 1000 label traits
A fixed 500 mL concentration
The packet directs a fixed 500 mL mix and records 1,000 mg/L (SALTBLAST calculation). It also lists 17 g carbohydrate and 16 g sugar.

You are comparing only the product names
Decide whether packet sodium, prepared concentration, carbohydrate, sugar, flavour, or live regional availability is the actual requirement before treating either number as a verdict.

SALTBLAST records Canadian-facing listing evidence for both exact products, but regional packages, formulas, prices, and stock can change. The current dataset has a dated CAD package snapshot for LMNT but not an equivalent PH 1000 package snapshot, so this page does not declare a Canadian price winner.

Direct answers
LMNT vs PH 1000 questions
Does LMNT or PH 1000 list more sodium per packet?
For the exact records compared, LMNT Citrus Salt lists 1,000 mg sodium per 1 stick. PH 1000 lists 500 mg per 1 packet. LMNT therefore lists twice as much sodium per labelled packet unit, but that does not make the two prepared drinks twice as concentrated because their water directions differ.
Why does PH 1000 list 500 mg sodium if its name says 1000?
The exact PH 1000 packet in the SALTBLAST dataset lists 500 mg sodium and directs one packet into 500 mL water. Normalized to one litre, that is 1,000 mg/L (SALTBLAST calculation). In this comparison, 1,000 mg/L is the prepared concentration—not the sodium amount in one packet.
Is LMNT or PH 1000 more concentrated when mixed as directed?
PH 1000 has a fixed recorded result of 1,000 mg/L (SALTBLAST calculation). LMNT directs one stick into a 473–946 mL range, so its stored calculated result is 1,057–2,114 mg/L, depending on water volume. Concentration changes across that LMNT range; a per-stick headline alone cannot answer the prepared-drink question.
Is LMNT or PH 1000 sugar-free?
LMNT Citrus Salt lists 0 g sugar per stick and records Stevia. The PH 1000 packet lists 16 g sugar and 17 g carbohydrate. These facts apply only to the exact variants compared.
Has SALTBLAST personally tested LMNT or PH 1000?
No. Both exact records are label researched. This page compares manufacturer information and calculations from the stored product data; it does not score taste, mixing, tolerance, or performance.
