Zero Sugar Hydration
Dehydration isn’t just about water. It’s about losing both fluids and electrolytes. If you’re only replacing one, you’re still running low.
The more you sweat, the more dehydrated you’ll get. Make sense?
To rehydrate, you’ll need more electrolytes. The problem is: most electrolyte drinks are actually just sugar drinks. Electrolytes are only an afterthought.
LMNT—on the other hand—is a zero-sugar electrolyte drink mix and sparkling electrolyte water that delivers a meaningful dose of electrolytes free of sugar, artificial colors, or other dodgy ingredients.
LMNT helps to prevent fatigue, headaches, and muscle cramps while supporting a low-carb lifestyle and boosting performance.
Use LMNT to start your day, boost your workouts, recover from a crazy night, or even overcome jet lag.
Ready to give LMNT a try? Enjoy a FREE sample pack of eight flavors today with any purchase (even if it’s not your first order!), plus a money-back satisfaction guarantee. Seriously—if you don’t like LMNT for any reason, they’ll give you a refund no questions asked.
