Frequently asked
Common questions.
Do I need electrolytes daily?
Most non-athletes don't. Specific situations (hangover, illness, hot-weather work, fasting) make supplementation valuable.
Why does LMNT have so much sodium?
Athletic/keto-friendly formulation. Most popular drinks underdose sodium. LMNT's 1000mg per serving is for active or sweat-heavy users.
Electrolyte powder vs sports drink?
Powder is sugar-free, customisable. Sports drinks have carbs (fine for endurance, bad for daily use). Powder for daily, sports drink for serious workouts.
Can electrolytes help with hangover?
Yes — alcohol depletes sodium and dehydrates. Electrolyte drink at the end of drinking is meaningful for next-day recovery.
