Q: What gives it the sweet taste, if not sugar?

Stevia Leaf Extract <= see label of ingredients, second photo in gallery for this product. And BTW, the taste for both flavors is excellent.

Q: To the manufacturer, does this product have any maltodextrin in it? Natural flavorings are almost always on a maltodextrin carrier which is why I ask.

I emailed them, and the short answer is yes. Here is their email to me. "Thank you for reaching out. Glad you asked! 😊 The powdered flavors are created through a spray dry process that turns liquid flavors (botanical or spice extracts—in this case, fruit extracts) into a fine, dry powder that delivers taste in a blendable and shelf-stable form. 💯 Also, for our flavored LMNT options, we use a tiny amount of maltodextrin as a flavor carrier. And by tiny, let me put this in some context. I know many folks in the keto-verse use our product, and they may imagine their pancreas are exploding due to their exposure to admittedly high glycemic load carbohydrates! But, there are many devils in those dancing on pin-head details. One teaspoon of maltodextrin has about 4 grams of carbohydrates, similar to most sugars. Terrifying, right? Well, here is the thing, in a stick pack of LMNT there are a few MILLIGRAMS of maltodextrin. There are one thousand milligrams in each gram. I’m not sure if this is a great analogy, but here goes: a gram is like $1,000. A milligram is like $1. If we have 4 milligrams of maltodextrin in one stick pack, you could fill 1,000 STICK PACKS with the amount of maltodextrin that fills ONE TEASPOON. 👀 That is again, a teaspoon, not a tablespoon, which is 3x larger! Now, for reference, if we are assuming about 4mg of maltodextrin per stick pack, that teaspoon of maltodextrin is spread out over 33 1/3 boxes of LMNT. 😉 Hope this helps! Let me know if there's any other way I can be of salty service to you! ✨"

Q: What ingredient gives 2g of total carbs in lmnt citrus salt?

Hi there! The 2g of carbs are from the citric acid. We also have a Raw Unflavored version with 0 carbs.

Q: Is it true the watermelon and chocolate do not contain citric acid? I need to avoid it

I’ve only used the raspberry flavor, citric acid is the second ingredient listed. Not sure about the other flavors, but would assume its the same.
