Hilltop Hydration 14-stick boxes and stick packs in Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit and Lemonade

Why Hilltop

One stick. Three jobs. Nothing artificial.

Balanced, not salty.

About 300 mg sodium per stick (LMNT has 1,000 mg). Enough to matter, light enough to drink every day, not just after a 10-mile run.

More than just salt.

Every stick balances its pinch of salt with more potassium and magnesium, so it hydrates without tasting like seawater.

Gut support built in.

Prebiotic fiber to support digestive health,* so your hydration does more than hydrate.

FAQ

Good questions.

How is this different from LMNT or Liquid I.V.?

LMNT has 1,000 mg sodium per stick and Liquid I.V. has about 500 mg. Hilltop has about 300 mg, which is enough to matter but not so much that it tastes like seawater. We also add gut support, and flavor it only with real fruit.

Is it sweet? What does it taste like?

Light and fruity, more like fruit-infused water than sports drink. It has a touch of organic cane sugar (under 3 g) or none at all. Founding members help us decide.

When does it ship?

The first batch is in the works. The waitlist gets the ship date first, plus first dibs on the founding batch. Questions? Just reply to any email from us.
