LMNT is a popular electrolyte supplement, but its high sodium content may not be suitable for everyone. It’s important to be aware of potential side effects and use it responsibly, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Potential Side Effects:

  • High sodium: LMNT contains 1,000 mg of sodium per serving, which may cause symptoms like rapid breathing, restlessness, or difficulty sleeping in some people.
  • Health conditions: Individuals with hypertension, kidney disease, or conditions requiring sodium restriction should be cautious.
  • Digestive issues: Some users report nausea, bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea, or vomiting.
 

Who Should Avoid LMNT:

  • People with hypertension, kidney disease, or those taking medications like diuretics that affect fluid balance.
  • Those who are sodium-sensitive (about 7-10% of the population).
 

LMNT can be an effective hydration supplement, but its high sodium content means it’s not for everyone. If you have any medical conditions or take medications, consult your healthcare provider before using it. Always start with a lower dose and discontinue use if side effects occur.
