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 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.
This deficiency increases even more when you follow a low-carb diet - reduced carb intake means no processed foods, which make up 70% of our dietary sodium intake. When you cut these out of the equation, you are likely not getting enough sodium. To add insult to injury, your kidneys excrete even more sodium when your carb intake is low. This is why those with a low-carb lifestyle often complain of unpleasant symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. For optimal performance, we need to pay attention to electrolyte and mineral intake - and our needs increase even more when we sweat or follow a low-carb diet.
WE DEVELOPED LMNT BECAUSE WE WERE FRUSTRATED WITH A LACK OF HEALTHY OPTIONS ON THE MARKET.Robb Wolf, Co-Founder of LMNT
LMNT has become a staple in my diet for nearly a year now - and I recommend it to my health coaching clients as well. After a grueling trail run through the mountains of New Hampshire - especially on hot and humid summer days - LMNT is perfect for replenishing electrolytes lost through sweat. And I know my low-carb, ancestral diet increases my sodium needs even more.

And I know my low-carb, ancestral diet increases my sodium needs even more.
Since discovering LMNT, I no longer have to worry about the muscle cramps, poor recovery, or inadequate sleep that used to follow my tough workouts - and my performance and endurance are through the roof!
I use it daily to keep up with the sodium demands of my active, low-carb lifestyle and always have one packet post-workout. There’s no sugar or other junk in LMNT and all of the flavors - especially citrus salt - are out of this world!
LMNT Recharge was developed by Robb Wolf and his Ketogains coaches to provide a zero-sugar, tasty electrolyte drink for those living low-carb, active lifestyles.
