The Salt You've Been Avoiding Is The Salt You Actually Need.

For decades, the advice was consistent: cut the salt. Low-sodium everything. Hold the table salt. Read the labels for sodium content and put things back on the shelf.

And most health-conscious people followed it. They cut processed food, switched to clean eating, chose the lower-sodium option at every turn. They did everything right.

And then they wondered why they felt flat. Why their workouts stalled. Why they'd wake up tired despite sleeping. Why they'd get brain fog in the afternoons that coffee didn't fully fix.

The low-sodium advice was never the full picture.

Where the low-sodium advice came from — and where it fell short.

The research that shaped salt guidelines focused on sodium's role in blood pressure, specifically in sedentary people eating a lot of processed food. That population tends to be sodium-overloaded and potassium-deficient. For them, cutting sodium was a reasonable intervention.

But it was generalised to everyone. Including people who exercise. Including people eating clean, unprocessed diets. Including people who sweat.

For that group — active, health-conscious, eating whole foods — sodium is often the thing they're most short of. Exercise depletes sodium faster than any other electrolyte. Clean diets don't replenish it. And without sufficient sodium, every other function that depends on fluid balance starts to degrade quietly: energy, cognition, recovery, sleep quality.

The issue was never sodium itself. The issue was sodium without the potassium and magnesium it needs to work properly.

What LMNT actually contains.

LMNT was designed by Robb Wolf, a biochemist who spent years looking at what the hydration science actually said versus what the industry sold. The formulation: 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium. Nothing else. No sugar. No artificial colours. No proprietary blend that obscures what's actually in it.

Those three electrolytes in those ratios reflect what peer-reviewed research shows optimal cellular hydration requires. It's not a sports drink with electrolytes added for marketing. It's built around the electrolytes, with nothing else getting in the way.

One sachet in 500ml of water. First thing in the morning or before a workout. That's when the difference tends to be most noticeable.

97% of people who try LMNT say they'd recommend it. 1,668 reviews, 4.88 stars.
