LMNT contains 1000 mg sodium, 200 mg potassium, 60 mg magnesium and no sugar.
A question we hear a lot: “Why do you put a full gram of sodium in every stick pack? Isn’t salt bad for your heart?”
The truth is, that’s not nearly as cut and dry as it’s been made out to be. Sodium is an essential mineral—the stuff of life—and we’ve never been shy to address the misinformation around it.
In this article, we’ll cover the clinical evidence behind LMNT’s electrolyte ratios. We’ll start with sodium, potassium, and magnesium – and then address why LMNT doesn’t contain calcium, phosphorus, or trace minerals. Read more.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends sodium restriction for heart health, but the science says otherwise. Learn the latest about salt, blood pressure, and longevity.
An electrolyte drink should contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and fluids for hydration. Here’s how to make a few of LMNT’s most popular flavors at home.
Glucose improves fluid and electrolyte absorption, but do you need it to hydrate? Learn when sugar makes sense, when it doesn’t, and more.
Learn the science of exercise hydration. Understand how dehydration affects performance and how to rehydrate with water, sodium, and glucose.
Discover how genetics, sweat rate, and heat acclimation affect your sweat sodium concentration to hydrate optimally. Plus, learn how to determine sodium levels in your sweat.
Does drinking more water reduce your risk of death? We question media coverage of the recent Lancet study in this science-backed review.
