LMNT Recharge
High-sodium electrolyte mix that became standard for low-carb, fasted, and sauna users.
The electrolyte mix that became standard for low-carb, fasted training, and post-sauna rehydration.
LMNT exists because most electrolyte products are wrong about sodium. They under-dose it, replace it with potassium that doesn't address the actual deficiency, or load up on sugar to mask the taste. LMNT does the opposite: 1,000mg sodium per stick, no sugar, no junk.
Who actually needs that much sodium: low-carb and keto eaters (who excrete more), fasted athletes (especially fasted morning training), sauna users (sodium loss through sweat is significant), anyone with low blood pressure, and people in hot climates training outdoors. Most regular eaters don't need this much sodium and shouldn't use LMNT daily.
Where it shines: workout fueling, sauna rehydration, and the morning-of-fasted-training drink. Where it doesn't fit: as a daily multivitamin or hydration replacement.
Low-carb eaters, sauna users, fasted athletes, anyone in hot climates or with sweat-heavy training.
You eat a normal-carb diet without high sweat output - you're probably getting enough sodium already.

LMNT Recharge Electrolyte Mix - buyer FAQ
Is 1000mg sodium per stick too much?
For most regular-diet eaters, yes - LMNT is dosed for low-carb / keto / fasted / heavy-sweat populations who excrete more sodium than typical. If you eat ~2,000mg+ sodium daily already through normal food, one LMNT stick puts you over the recommended 2,300mg/day threshold. Use it strategically (before sauna, during workouts, on hot days) not as a daily multivitamin.
LMNT vs Liquid IV / Gatorade?
Liquid IV has 500mg sodium + 11g sugar (the sugar is the actual rehydration driver via cellular sodium-glucose cotransport). Gatorade has 270mg sodium + 21g sugar. LMNT has 1000mg sodium + 0 sugar. For sugar-free electrolyte loading (keto, fasted, sauna), LMNT is the right pick. For glucose-dependent endurance rehydration (long runs, races), Gatorade or Liquid IV may work better.
Best LMNT flavor?
Citrus and watermelon are the consensus best-tasting. Raspberry + lemon habanero are polarizing. Most users settle on 1-2 favorites. The Sample Pack is the right entry to find your flavor before bulk-ordering.
