MORE SALT,NOT LESS.
Electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium, are the driving force behind energy production in our cells, nerves, and muscles. But many of us have yet to unlock their full benefits.
A growing body of research reveals that optimal health outcomes occur at sodium levels 2-3x government recommendations. That's why we say, More Salt, Not Less.
Optimal hydration doesn't just mean more fluids, it means getting the right electrolyte balance-dilute that balance, and fatigue follows. You feel the difference when you get it right.

Salt is serious business. Let's dive in.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HYDRATION
There are two main components to healthful hydration: water and electrolytes. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a lot of people are actually overwatered.

In the many years we spent mixing electrolyte drinks at home before LMNT existed, we made many messes and had quite a few misses, but we also came up with several great recipes. If you prefer to source your own electrolytes instead of buying LMNT, jot this down and grab a kitchen scale:
- 2,500 mg sodium chloride (for 1,000 mg sodium)
- 385 mg potassium chloride (for 200 mg potassium)
- 390 mg magnesium malate OR 265 mg di-magnesium malate (for 60 mg magnesium)
These are the same science-backed electrolyte amounts and ratios in each grab-and-go stick pack of LMNT. It’s the equivalent of our simplest product: LMNT Raw Unflavored. You can use the electrolytes above as a base to create your own recipes (add your own flavor), or simply follow this guide to recreate 4 of our most popular flavors.

No, we created LMNT to provide the best electrolyte drink mix ever. While our product is naturally low-carb and keto-friendly, LMNT is formulated so anyone can meet their electrolyte needs without adding unhealthy ingredients to their diet.

Determining how many stick packs or cans to consume daily is quite dependent on the individual. The latest science indicates consuming 4–6 grams of sodium, 3.5–5 grams of potassium, and 400–600 milligrams of magnesium per day leads to optimal health outcomes. These electrolytes are best consumed from whole foods, but we designed LMNT to help fill in any dietary gaps. We hear that many folks find 1-2 stick packs or cans per day to be optimal, often depending on their activity level. Others use more.
