Buying them separately
- Electrolyte sticks: $45/mo — 1,000mg sodium, 0g creatine
- Plus a separate creatine tub: $7.50–$50/mo
- Two orders, two scoops, two things to run out of
- $52–72 every month, for two products
$52–72/mo
Creatine + electrolytes · finally in one scoop
5g creatine monohydrate + the electrolytes you sweat out. One scoop, not two tubs.
The numbers don't argue
Their own labels, their own prices. To match one H3O scoop you have to buy two products — and it costs more every single month.
One row has nothing missing. It is also the cheapest one.
Prices and formulas live-checked June 12, 2026 from each brand's own store. Monthly cost assumes one serving a day and, where a brand covers only half the job, the cheapest product that covers the other half. Competitor names are used for factual comparison only.

The chemistry
Creatine enters muscle through a sodium-dependent transporter — adequate sodium supports the very mechanism that gets creatine where it works.* ISSN Position Stand (opens in a new tab)
A hard hour in the heat costs real minerals. 1,000mg of sodium per scoop is a physiologically appropriate replacement dose for a training session.* Sweat-loss research (opens in a new tab)
Creatine monohydrate at 3–5g/day is the most evidence-backed sports supplement in existence — improving high-intensity performance, lean mass and recovery.* ISSN Position Stand (opens in a new tab)
Beat 1
Every morning: a scoop of electrolytes. Every workout: a scoop of creatine. Two subscriptions, two shakers, two things to run out of mid-block.
Beat 2
Hydration brands had no creatine. Creatine brands had no hydration. Nobody owned the combination every hybrid athlete actually stacks.
Beat 3
5g creatine monohydrate + sodium, magnesium and potassium in one lemon scoop. The two-tub era is over.
Full label. Zero secrets.
5,000 mg
The full clinical dose — not a gummy's 1g
1,000 mg
Sweat-replacement levels — not a token sprinkle
200 mg
Sodium's counterpart for fluid balance*
60 mg
Malate — the gentler form
Half the routine isn't a routine
Stack a hydration brand with a creatine brand and you're at $85+/month — or get both in one scoop.
Learn the why
MYTHBUSTINGThe water-retention fear, dismantled with actual physiology — and the electrolyte fix.
COMPARISONOne is a foundation, one is a jolt. What hybrid athletes actually need.
FOR WOMENStrength, recovery, healthy aging — the evidence keeps stacking up. No, it won't make you bulky.
Train with H3O for 60 days. If you don't feel the difference — in your sessions, your recovery, your routine — you get every cent back. Even if the tub is empty. No forms, no return label, no 'are you sure' phone tree.
One refund per household. We just ask you to tell us what didn't work — it makes the next batch better.
$1.06 per serving subscribed — the cheapest way to never think about creatine or electrolytes again.
