Overview
Salt is in.
New research suggests many people –especially athletes and those following paleo, keto, or low-carb diet– are actually under-salted. As athletes, we may already have proper hydration on our radar and most of us know that to stay properly hydrated, plain H2O just won’t cut it.
Why do we love LMNT?
Working out in the heat adds to that need to replace lost electrolytes (especially salts).
There are a number of electrolyte products filling the gap – some quite terrible and loaded with sugar, toxic dyes and other junk you don't need. Then there are others that don’t have the sugar and other crap BUT they taste downright repulsive.
There are few that do it right. LMNT is at the top of that list.
What most of the popular electrolyte drinks on the market do wrong is include too low amounts of electrolytes and miss the mark on the “optimal ratio”.
What's in LMNT?
They give you more electrolytes in the ideal ratio:
- 1000 mg SODIUM
- 200 mg POTASSIUM
- 60 mg MAGNESIUM
