Tons of folks bail out on fasting because they’re suffering. But if they had the proper electrolyte support, they might have felt better and stuck with it. Although a very effective dietary strategy, fasting depletes sodium levels like nothing else.
Tons of folks bail out on fasting because they’re suffering. But if they had the proper electrolyte support, they might have felt better and stuck with it. Although a very effective dietary strategy, fasting depletes sodium levels like nothing else.
The reason why? When you fast, your insulin levels drop, and you release more sodium through urine. This “natriuresis” of fasting can cause sodium deficiency.
This is why those who fast often complain of unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, low energy, and sleeplessness. And if we sweat or follow a low-carb diet on top of that, our electrolyte needs increase even more. The good news is, it’s a simple fix: fix the sodium and you fix the symptoms.

Fasting is such a big part of our lifestyles, so proper hydration is key for us to balance our electrolytes. But healthy sports drinks are hard to come by - they’re typically loaded with sugar, carbs, artificial ingredients, or other junk that would break a fast.

When we discovered LMNT Recharge, that all changed! All of their flavors contain zero sugar and only 2 grams of carbs, so they don’t break a fast. The best part is if you’re looking for a 100% clean fast, Raw Unflavored is the perfect option - it contains 0 grams of carbs and no stevia or citric acid.
LMNT provides sodium, potassium, and magnesium in the optimal quantities and ratios we need to feel our best. Raw Unflavored is our go-to flavor - and has been a game changer in replenishing the electrolytes our bodies so desperately need each day!
We developed LMNT Recharge because we were frustrated with the lack of healthful electrolyte products on the market. We were fielding questions daily from people in our communities struggling to get adequate electrolytes, but could not recommend anything on the market.
The hard truth is that available electrolyte products are high in sugar and woefully lacking in actual electrolytes. Based on the latest nutritional science, getting adequate electrolytes through these products equates to over 100 grams of added sugar per day. We don’t think anyone needs this amount of sugar.
For years our recommended solution was to buy electrolytes in bulk and make your own electrolyte home-brews. After spending too many hours meticulously measuring and mixing our own electrolyte homebrews, LMNT Recharge was born.
