What are they working on?

Drink LMNT offers an electrolyte mix targeting consumers with active lifestyles or specific dietary needs like keto or paleo. Its product contains 1000 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium, and 60 mg of magnesium per serving, with no sugar or gluten. This formulation aims to enhance physical performance, hydration, and recovery.

Why are they disruptive?

Drink LMNT challenges conventional hydration solutions by advocating higher mineral salts intake. This approach emphasizes the importance of sodium and other electrolytes for athletes and those on low-carb diets. With no sugar, gluten, or additives, LMNT offers a clean-labelled, science-backed alternative to the conventional sports drinks.

What should we watch for?

• Health Trend Alignment: Adoption of higher sodium could disrupt the status quo of sports and hydration products, which have long adhered to lower sodium recommendations
• Product expansion: Potential for product diversification or new formulations targeting other athletic needs or consumer groups with specific dietary requirements
