Proper hydration is critical for optimizing mental and physical performance. Staying properly hydrated means you’re supporting the health of your skin, kidneys, brain, liver, lungs, digestive organs, and joints, among other things. One study even showed that a loss of 2% of body weight due to dehydration can impact everything from athletic performance to your mood, memory, and ability to focus. No matter who you are, staying properly hydrated is a cornerstone habit that will benefit how you feel each day and your long-term health.

When we think about hydration, water immediately comes to mind. But being hydrated is not as simple as just drinking a ton of water. In fact, overwatering can even lead to serious problems, such as hyponatremia. When we drink too much water, we dilute our blood sodium levels, which can cause unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, mood swings, and muscle cramps.
The takeaway is this: drink to thirst - and don’t forget to replace electrolytes. Not only will this help eliminate dehydration symptoms like headaches and muscle cramps, it’s essential for keeping our brain, muscles, and organs functioning properly.

"Instead of my morning coffee, I like to rehydrate with LMNT electrolytes. There is no doubt that my day is simply better now that I have started drinking LMNT. My only trouble is keeping my friends from taking all of them ;) I'm fully obsessed."

LMNT Recharge was developed by Robb Wolf and his coaches Tyler and Luis to provide a zero-sugar, tasty electrolyte drink for those living an active lifestyle.
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,
