Problem

The ‘hydration’ market is giant and still full of garbage

Many drinks in the hydration category are loaded with sugar and desperately low in a key functional ingredient: SALT.

High sugar intake and misinformation around sodium has contributed to some of our most challenging health issues.

hydration-market-garbage-2

The body needs adequate electrolytes to refuel and be properly energized—not more sugar.

  • Whole food diets are lacking in sufficient mineral electrolytes.
  • Leading an active lifestyle (read: sweating) requires electrolytes for energy production.
  • Numerous diseases and stressors demand specific electrolyte attention.

The science is clear, you need more salt. Period.

Public perception is catching up,

and new knowledge around functional ingredients creates new winners:

Solution

LMNT

We’re owning SALT as a revolution in hydration and functional beverages.

We know our salt

Our products are science-backed; and we publish in-depth content on electrolytes informed by the latest scientific literature. LMNT also consults with professional sports teams, elite military units, and numerous healthcare practitioners in support of nutritional interventions for optimal health. 

Product

A tasty electrolyte drink mix

With everything you need and nothing you don’t… yes, that means lots of salt and zero sugar.

LMNT delivers a truly meaningful dose of electrolytes without the sugar or other dodgy ingredients. It’s formulated to help anyone with their electrolyte needs and is perfectly suited to folks following low-carb, active, or fasting lifestyles.

One core formulation, across multiple flavor occasions

Traction

In three years LMNT has become one of the fastest-growing beverage brands.

  • Loved by avid tribes of health seekers.
  • Put to the test by dozens of professional athletes and sports teams.
  • Recommended by leading health influencers

We’re honored to collaborate with some of the very best in their respective fields.

And we’re just getting started…

Customers

Over 25K+ reviews and a 4.5+ rating

LMNT has generated over 25K+ reviews with key customer metrics showing avid loyalty. Now with over 250k customers, we impact a vast spectrum of demographics and health circumstances.

Our launch focused on low-carb tribes because diabetes and obesity are two of our most significant health challenges.

Managing electrolytes is an absolutely critical part of successful dietary interventions.

Though it’s becoming much bigger than that—and our customers have become our most powerful salesforce.

Business model

Direct-to-consumer focus, with plenty of runway left

Our core (and only) product is our drink mix stick packs sold online directly to consumers.

Strong margins, retention, and profitability have allowed us to scale as a highly capital-efficient business.

In addition to hundreds of health and wellness influencers who support the brand, our customer base is one of our strongest drivers of growth through referrals.

We launched our Wholesale Partnership Program on the back of efforts to support gym owners during COVID.

Traditional retail remains untapped

Focused

We’re currently focused on taking advantage of our direct-to-consumer opportunity.

 

Unsolicited Interest

From buyers at big box, specialty, and natural grocer retailers.

Market

The ‘hydration’ market alone is a $9.2B+ opportunity

LMNT’s growth is further supported by durable market trends.

Competition

We’re salt and science-backed, not sugar-loaded

In a crowded space, we have a differentiated formula and flavor profile: salty, not sugary. Each packet of LMNT contains 1 gram of salt and absolutely no sugar, providing a unique and bold product to the market.

It’s both what’s inside…

…and what isn’t… 

…that makes up our business proposition.

Vision and strategy

Our mission: To restore health through hydration

Our fundraise is focused on bringing in additional investor-allies to make an even bigger splash. We’re honored to have you consider joining us for the journey.

While LMNT will initially target the $9.2B hydration segment, transcending this category is an energy production story. Electrolytes are at the foundation of all cellular, muscular, and neurological functions.

As you reflect on your potential investment, consider that we are a company committed to health. At times what this means is that we might make decisions to support the health of our customers or community over what might be a profit-driven consideration. Some also call this a risk—we see it as the right thing to do, and will continue to be guided by this. We’ve also found it’s good business.
