# Electrolyte powder packet

An electrolyte powder packet is a dry mix of minerals, often with sugar and flavor, that you stir into water. It is a common format for crews and teams.

An electrolyte powder packet holds dry minerals you stir into a bottle of water. Many crews already use them. Packets need a bottle, water and a step to mix.

One safety manager told JMAR that humidity makes packets clump, so the crew throws them away. That is one person's report, not a test of every brand. Powders are one option next to [sports drinks](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/glossary/sports-drink) and [liquid concentrates](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/glossary/liquid-electrolyte-concentrate). Pick the format your crew will use. For a side-by-side look, read [electrolyte drops vs powder packets](https://jmarsolutions.multisites.ai/compare/electrolyte-drops-vs-powder-packets).
