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.

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 Sport 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. But many athletes forget about sodium and drink more water when they feel dehydrated - the more common problem for these folks is drinking too much water, not too little. Overwatering dilutes blood sodium levels, causing a dangerous condition called hyponatremia - which can lead to headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue.
But this doesn’t mean that you should avoid drinking water - you won’t last very long without it. Hydration is quite simple: drink to thirst, and don’t forget to replace electrolytes. Paying attention to our electrolyte intake is critical for optimal performance - and our needs increase even more when we sweat.

No matter which continent I’m leaving my footprints on, proper hydration remains the key to my endurance and success. Ultra marathons are long and grueling, making me susceptible to dehydration, cramping, and fatigue - it’s extremely critical that I replenish my electrolytes before, during, and after a race.

LMNT has become my go to drink for hydration during races and workouts. Once I ditched the sugary sports drinks and started drinking LMNT, my endurance and recovery have noticeably improved - it contains none of the sugar, artificial ingredients, or other junk that used to negatively impact my ability to perform.
My favorite flavor is Raspberry Salt but for race days I like to combine Raspberry and Citrus Salt together in an oversized cooler for a dynamite raspberry-citrus mix. LMNT is easily the best way to stay hydrated while I'm out pushing my limits.

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 and getting stopped by airport security one too many times for carrying dozens of baggies full of white powder, LMNT Recharge was born.
Stay Salty,
