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 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

Problems like insomnia, low energy, headaches, and muscle cramps that many folks have on low-carb, heavy training, or fasting regimens.
It all started when I solved my energy problem. I could hardly believe it, but a lack of sodium had been cramping my mental and physical performance for years. When I ate more salt, not only did my energy skyrocket, but my brain felt sharper than ever.
For years, I would mix up a salty electrolyte blend in my kitchen because nothing on the market could meet my needs (no sugar, no BS ingredients). But I’m a busy guy and mixing homebrews is a pain. I needed a better solution.
So we created LMNT this tasty electrolyte mix with everything you need and nothing you don't (after much trial and error). No sugar, fillers, or other nonsense to interfere with your fast. Just electrolytes in their optimal ratios. Grab a pack of LMNT, mix in your water bottle, and recharge your body.
Stay Salty,
Robb Wolf & The LMNT Team
