Summer is in full swing, which means temperatures are starting to heat up. Make sure you have a plan to stay extra hydrated.

It’s easy to forget that our sweat isn’t just water. But why do we only go down a glass of water after a long run or a hot day? Our sweat consists of water and salt, so next time you reach for that glass of water… remember to replenish those electrolytes.

After years of mixing his own electrolyte blends and frustration with healthy options on the market, LMNT Co-Founder and former Navy SEAL Robb Wolf used his experience as a biochemist to create his own product.

LMNT is your chance for a clean electrolyte boost after a long summer day or intense workout. It tastes great, making it the perfect cocktail mixer or hangover cure.
