A new take on hydration
For those tracking hydration, sodium intake is key. A growing wave of research suggests that optimal health may require sodium levels two to three times higher than traditional guidelines.
That’s where LMNT comes in. This zero-sugar electrolyte mix offers a science-backed boost without the additives. Popular among athletes, intermittent fasters, and wellness-minded parents alike, it's redefining how people stay hydrated.
