Why we love it

One stick gives 1,000 mg sodium, about the 1 g per liter of average sweat sodium cited by a 2019 endurance nutrition review.

Fortune scored LMNT 4.5 of 5 and named it Best Electrolytes for Runners in a September 2026 update; BarBend gave it a Best pick in its July 2026 electrolyte roundup, and Garage Gym Reviews rated it 4 of 5 after hands-on testing.

It mixes easily: Garage Gym Reviews and BarBend testers gave solubility 5 of 5, and Outside's month-long test of 10 brands gave dissolvability 5 of 5.

The label shows the exact salts per stick, with no blend: 2,500 mg sodium chloride, 385 mg potassium chloride and 390 mg magnesium malate, per LMNT.

The proof

LMNT says it tests lots for label claims, microbes and heavy metals and posts certificates of analysis for recent batches of popular flavors; the page names no testing lab. Source

Questions

How much sodium is in LMNT?

1,000 mg per stick, with 200 mg potassium and 60 mg magnesium, per LMNT. That is about the sodium in a liter of average sweat, per a 2019 endurance nutrition review, which also cites an ACSM starting range of 300 to 600 mg sodium per hour. BarBend notes it is too much for some people.

Is LMNT third-party tested?

Not by a sport certifier. LMNT is not listed by NSF Certified for Sport (searched October 6, 2026). LMNT says it tests lots for label claims, microbes and heavy metals and posts certificates for recent batches of popular flavors, but names no lab. BarBend lists it as not third-party tested.

Is LMNT worth the price?

LMNT is $1.50 a stick bought once, or $1.13 on its subscribed bundle. BarBend lists two comparable mixes at $0.75 and $1.56 a serving, each with 500 mg sodium, so an LMNT stick carries twice their sodium. BarBend calls LMNT competitively priced.

What does LMNT taste like?

Salty, and testers split on it. Outside's month-long test of 10 brands called the taste divisive and named LMNT Best for Salt Fans. Garage Gym Reviews scored taste 4 of 5, a Fortune tester gave 5 of 5, and BarBend testers praised it once used to the salt.
