Buoy
A different form entirely: unsweetened drops instead of a drink. Loved by people who hate sweet drinks; just do the daily maths before comparing its per-serving price to a stick.
| Field | Buoy |
|---|---|
| Format | Liquid drops |
| Sugar | 0 g |
| Sweetener | None — no sugar, stevia or flavours |
| Best for | Adding a light electrolyte lift to any drink you already like — coffee, tea, water — with nothing sweet or flavoured added. |
| Not for | Counting on Regular drops alone for serious replacement: at 50 mg sodium per serving, the maths needs the multi-serving daily routine the brand describes, which changes the real daily cost. |
