Lyte Lab matches the listed mineral profile using practical bulk ingredients. For supported ORS-style products, it also includes the label carbohydrate load and an effective glucose/fructose split when local source data supports it; flavor systems and undisclosed blend percentages are not recreated.

Best fit

  • Recreational sports
  • People who want calories
  • Traditional sports drink taste

Watchouts

  • The builder preserves the 21 g carbohydrate load and models sugar plus dextrose as an inferred split.
  • Electrolyte content is modest compared with high-sodium products.
