LMNT Review

As a triathlete and cyclist, I am consistently participating in longer duration sports and can at times be miles and miles away from any source of nutrition or water. During hot and humid days, sodium is needed to prevent muscle cramping and to stay hydrated. There are numerous products out there for hydration with Body Armor flash IV and Liquid IV being two of the most common. LMNT packs twice the sodium of these products in one packet. Is this beneficial? In the right situation it certainly is as it allows me to have the proper amount of sodium to get me through the longer rides. However, it may not be appropriate for those doing 5-10k runs. I believe it is a great product when used in the right situation. 

Taste: I have used numerous flavors including, watermelon, raspberry, citrus, and chocolate. I will say that they all boast a moderate flavor profile but strong enough and sweet enough to be refreshing on hot days. The chocolate is not my favorite as I rarely crave chocolate during exercise. However, it was true to the profile of chocolate, so for those that enjoy it, it is worth a try. 

LMNT is another hydration packet but I believe it is a higher tier of electrolytes meant for those sweating a lot or participating in longer endurance activities. Used for the right purposes, it can really make an impact on your training.
