Salt-heavy, sugar-free electrolyte mix engineered for endurance athletes and high-intensity adventurers.
Overview
LMNT is not your typical electrolyte drink mix. Designed with a science-first approach, each packet delivers 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium — without sugar, fillers, or artificial junk. That makes it perfect for endurance hikes, autophagy training days, or hot-weather summits where sodium loss is a performance killer.
On the Trail
During my high-altitude fasted hikes, LMNT has become non-negotiable. One packet pre-hike and another mid-climb keeps cramping at bay, stabilizes energy output, and supports cognitive clarity. Unlike most mixes, it doesn’t cause stomach slosh or sugar spikes — just clean hydration and electrolyte replacement.
Flavor & Mixability
Flavors range from classic Citrus Salt to bold Mango Chili. All dissolve instantly in cold water — ideal for stream refills with a filter cap. My personal go-to: Citrus Salt in the morning, Mango Chili as a mid-hike pick-me-up.
Why It Stands Out
Where most “sports drinks” underdose sodium or overload sugar, LMNT goes full throttle on the one mineral most endurance athletes lose the fastest — sodium. The formulation aligns perfectly with high-output, low-carb fueling strategies.
Bottom Line
For serious hikers, trail runners, and anyone training in the heat or at altitude, LMNT is a must-pack. It’s light, potent, and delivers exactly what your body needs when you’re pushing hard.
Examples of summits tested: Mount Whitney, Mount Langley, Mount Charleston, and Mount San Gorgonio.
