Curated, not stocked.
LMNT earned its place here because it prioritises formulation honesty over marketing convention — high sodium, no sugar, no fillers. Most electrolyte products under-dose sodium relative to what research suggests is actually lost in sweat. We recommend it specifically for athletes, those on low-carbohydrate diets, and anyone whose blood work or symptoms point to chronic under-hydration despite adequate water intake.
About this product
Recharge Electrolytes - Grapefruit
LMNT Recharge in Grapefruit is a sodium-forward electrolyte drink mix designed to replace what sweat actually removes. The three active minerals — sodium, potassium, and magnesium — are the electrolytes lost in the largest quantities during exercise, heat exposure, or periods of low carbohydrate intake. Sodium is the primary driver of fluid retention at a cellular level; without adequate intake, the body struggles to hold the water you drink. Potassium and magnesium support muscle contraction, nerve signalling, and general recovery.
This format suits athletes in heavy training, anyone following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet (which accelerates sodium excretion), people who work in hot environments, or those who simply sweat heavily and find plain water insufficient. It is also useful during illness or travel when fluid and mineral losses climb.
LMNT is formulated without added sugars, which makes it meaningfully different from most commercial sports drinks. The grapefruit flavour comes from natural flavouring rather than artificial sources, according to the ingredient list. Each serving is a single measured packet, which removes the guesswork of scooping. LMNT has built its reputation in performance nutrition circles partly by taking a higher-sodium approach than legacy electrolyte brands — a position increasingly supported by sports science research on sweat-loss composition.

How to use
Mix one packet into approximately 500 ml (16 oz) of water and drink as needed — before, during, or after exercise, or at any point when sweat or heat exposure has been significant. Follow the guidance on the packaging for daily intake, particularly if you have any conditions affecting kidney function or blood pressure.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Why does this contain so much sodium — is that safe?
For most healthy adults, the sodium in an electrolyte mix is appropriate given that sweat losses can be substantial, particularly during exercise or in heat. If you have hypertension, kidney disease, or have been advised to restrict sodium by a clinician, speak to your doctor before use.
Is this suitable on a ketogenic or low-carb diet?
Yes. Low-carbohydrate diets reduce insulin levels, which prompts the kidneys to excrete more sodium. This accelerates losses of potassium and magnesium too, making electrolyte supplementation particularly relevant for this group.
How does this differ from standard sports drinks like isotonic sachets?
Most commercial sports drinks are formulated around carbohydrate delivery and use relatively modest amounts of electrolytes. LMNT prioritises the mineral content — sodium, potassium, and magnesium — and contains no added sugar, which changes both the use case and the taste profile.
Can I take this if I am not exercising?
Yes. Heavy sweating, heat exposure, illness, travel, and certain dietary patterns can all increase electrolyte needs independently of exercise. One packet mixed into water can be a useful daily baseline for people in these situations.
How long will one box last and how many packets does it contain?
Check the packaging for the exact packet count. Usage varies — one packet daily is common, but some people use more on heavy training days or in hot conditions.
