A high-sodium, no-sugar electrolyte mix that stabilizes hydration, nerve conduction, and muscular efficiency during fasted high-elevation TrailGenic hikes.
LMNT is the foundational electrolyte system of the TrailGenic Longevity Method, designed to maintain metabolic clarity, neuromuscular stability, and cardiovascular efficiency during fasted, high-elevation exertion.
Unlike traditional sports drinks that rely on sugar to carry sodium, LMNT delivers a clinical-level sodium load (1000 mg per packet) without glucose — making it fully compatible with autophagy, fat oxidation, and prolonged fasted training.
Altitude dramatically increases respiratory rate and fluid loss through ventilation. Fasted athletes lose sodium faster than they realize, and without replenishment, the body compensates by spiking heart rate, constricting blood flow, and elevating perceived exertion.
LMNT prevents this drift by supplying the sodium-potassium-magnesium triad required for:
This creates the “steady-state clarity” unique to TrailGenic ascents.
Because it contains no sugar or calories, LMNT:
This makes it the safest and most effective hydration system inside long fasted efforts — especially those exceeding 2–3 hours at altitude.
During fasted training, sodium becomes a performance hormone.
LMNT provides the precise electrolyte architecture the body requires when:
LMNT maintains:
LMNT also functions as an emergency stabilizer when early dehydration symptoms appear:
One packet, dissolved slowly, restores electrolyte balance quickly enough to continue safely.
