LMNT
Built around one bold idea: a full 1,000 mg of sodium, no sugar. That dose suits hard sweating far better than sitting at a desk, and reviewers split sharply on the saltiness. Check the label discussion in our reading-a-label guide — carrier ingredients inside 'natural flavours' are worth understanding.
| Field | LMNT |
|---|---|
| Format | Stick packs |
| Sugar | 0 g |
| Sweetener | Stevia; Raw Unflavoured has none |
| Best for | High-sodium, zero-sugar hydration for heavy sweaters, heat work and low-carb eating; the Raw Unflavoured version is a true no-sweetener option. |
| Not for | People who find 1,000 mg sodium in one glass too salty, or who want more potassium and magnesium per serving. |
