Tonic mixes are available in two forms - regular and diet. Diet tonic water is gaining increasing traction among the health and diet consumers owing due to its less calorie and carbohydrate content.

As of the original formulations, the 12-ounce serving did not contain sufficient quinine to provide any medicinal benefits. Regular and diet tonic water contain sodium.
As per The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the amount of sodium in a single serving of regular water has an average of 2% of a suggested portion for the healthy adults (44 milligrams). Diet tonic water by Schweppes contains about 95 milligrams of sodium per serving, which is equivalent to 4% of the suggested daily maximum. Whereas, diet tonic water manufactured by Canada Dry has 80 milligrams of sodium each serving, which is equal to 3% of the daily value.
