Curated, not stocked.
LMNT earned its place here because it does what most commercial sports drinks don't: it prioritises sodium at a level that actually reflects sweat losses, rather than one calibrated to taste acceptable to the broadest possible market. Our clinicians recommend it specifically to patients who train hard, follow low-carb protocols, or present with fatigue and low sodium intake. The transparent ingredient list makes it straightforward to assess and easy to recommend.
About this product
Recharge Electrolytes - Watermelon Salt
LMNT Recharge in Watermelon Salt is a flavoured electrolyte drink mix built around three core minerals: sodium, potassium, and magnesium. It is designed to replace what the body loses through sweat — particularly relevant for athletes, those following a low-carbohydrate diet, or anyone who sweats heavily and finds plain water insufficient for recovery.
Sodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat and the one most likely to affect performance and cognition when depleted. LMNT's formulation is deliberately high in sodium relative to many mainstream sports drinks, which tend to prioritise palatability over clinical utility. Potassium supports fluid balance at the cellular level, while magnesium is involved in muscle function and may help ease cramping in those who are deficient.
The watermelon salt flavour makes it easier to meet fluid intake targets — particularly useful during long training sessions or in hot weather when appetite for plain water fades. It contains no sugar, which suits those managing blood glucose or following a ketogenic protocol, though the input does not specify other allergen or certification details so check the packaging if these matter to you.
LMNT fits neatly into a performance-focused routine as a pre-, intra-, or post-training drink. It is a straightforward product: no proprietary blends, no stimulants, no unnecessary fillers — just the minerals that matter for hydration.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Who is LMNT Recharge best suited to?
It is particularly useful for endurance athletes, people in heavy training blocks, those following a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet, and anyone who sweats heavily and struggles to stay hydrated on water alone. If you have been told to restrict sodium for medical reasons, speak to your doctor before using any high-sodium electrolyte product.
Does it contain sugar or carbohydrates?
Electrolyte mixes in LMNT's range are formulated without sugar. The ingredients listed for this SKU are sodium, potassium, magnesium, and natural flavours, with no sugar listed. Check the packet nutrition label if you need precise carbohydrate figures.
Can I take this if I have high blood pressure?
LMNT is relatively high in sodium by design. If you have hypertension or have been advised to follow a low-sodium diet, consult your GP or cardiologist before adding a sodium-rich supplement to your routine.
When should I drink it — before, during, or after training?
It is suited to any of those windows. Many athletes use it intra-session for ongoing hydration, or immediately post-session to begin repletion. On rest days or in hot weather it can be used independently of training.
How does this compare to standard sports drinks like Lucozade Sport?
Mainstream sports drinks are typically sugar-based and relatively low in sodium. LMNT inverts that — it is sodium-forward and contains no sugar. This makes it more relevant for those prioritising electrolyte repletion over carbohydrate fuelling, though it is not a carbohydrate source for energy during prolonged exercise.
