LMNT Recharge is a tasty electrolyte drink mix that replaces vital electrolytes without sugars and dodgy ingredients found in conventional sports drinks.
The time is ripe to make a splash. Introducing Watermelon Salt, the newest way to stay salty.
Proper hydration is critical for optimizing mental and physical performance.
Hydration is not just about drinking enough water - to stay properly hydrated you need to consume adequate electrolytes. They help your nerve impulses fire, regulate fluid balance, help produce energy, and support strong bones.

One article in the Journal of Sports Science reported:
“Vigorous exercise and warm/hot weather induce sweat production, which contains both water and electrolytes. Daily water (4-10 L) and sodium (3500-7000 mg) losses in active athletes during hot weather exposure can induce water and electrolyte deficits…”
When you're physically active and sweat, replacing lost sodium is essential to feel and perform your best. And if you're eating a diet mostly of whole foods, you are likely not consuming much sodium. According to the FDA, over 70% of sodium in American diets comes from processed foods.
I'm not recommending we consume processed foods, but we do need to pay as much attention to electrolyte and mineral intake - in particular sodium - as we do our food for optimal performance -and our needs increase when we sweat, follow a low-carb diet, or fast.
Electrolytes can mean the difference between feeling like a champ and feeling like garbage.Robb Wolf, Co-Founder of LMNT
A while back, I felt like I was doing everything right - training hard twice a day, eating a clean diet without processed foods, and drinking plenty of water.
But I didn’t feel my best. I was tired. My brain was foggy and I couldn’t focus. Everytime I flexed a muscle, I expected a cramp. And I had terrible late-night carb cravings. I was wondering if this would ever stop, or something I just had to push through.

It turns out, I needed more electrolytes. Drinking water isn’t enough. Replacing lost sodium is key to preventing muscle cramps, reducing fatigue, eliminating brain fog, and improving overall performance and recovery. When I got my electrolytes right, I was reborn! I felt focused and determined and, most importantly, no aches or cramps. Even the cravings ceased!
You could take away most of the supplements I use and I probably wouldn’t notice, but don’t touch my LMNT!
I tried to make my own electrolyte drinks at home. I tried every product I could find. Nothing came close. Nothing.
The LMNT single serve packets are super convenient. I like to mix mine with carbonated water for a fizzy drink that really satisfies during a hard training session. My go-to is the Orange Salt -but if you can try all their flavors with the variety pack.
