LMNT Recharge Zero-Sugar Electrolyte Drink Mix (Citrus Salt, 30-Count): Is it right for you?
LMNT Recharge: A High-Sodium, Sugar-Free Electrolyte for Heavy Sweaters
LMNT Recharge is a stick-pack electrolyte drink mix delivering 1,000 mg sodium, 200 mg potassium, and 60 mg magnesium per serving with zero sugar, no artificial sweeteners, and no gluten. Sweetened with stevia, it comes in flavors from Citrus Salt and Grapefruit Salt to Mango Chili and Raw Unflavored. LMNT classifies the product as a beverage (Nutrition Facts panel, not Supplement Facts), so it is not eligible for NSF third-party certification. The Citrus Salt flavor (ASIN B07TT8B1JJ) is the original and most widely reviewed option on Amazon.
The short answer
A simple, no-filler electrolyte powder with a higher-than-average sodium dose — purpose-built for people who sweat heavily, train hard, or follow low-carb diets.

How we research our recommendationsA good fit if…
People who sweat heavily during endurance exercise, outdoor labor, or prolonged heat exposure and need to replace significant sodium losses. Also a practical fit for those following ketogenic or low-carb diets who want electrolytes without sugar or carbohydrates.
Skip it if…
Skip if you restrict sodium due to high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney conditions — one packet is 1,000 mg sodium (43% of the FDA daily reference value), roughly double many competing products. Not third-party tested. Some flavored varieties contain small amounts of maltodextrin (250 to 550 mg) as a carrier for natural flavors.
What actually matters
Each stick pack contains 1,000 mg sodium (from sodium chloride), 200 mg potassium (from potassium chloride), and 60 mg magnesium (from magnesium malate). The unflavored and flavored versions share the same electrolyte amounts; calorie count ranges from 5 to 10 per packet depending on flavor.
Ingredients in the Citrus Salt flavor: Salt (Sodium Chloride), Citric Acid, Magnesium Malate, Potassium Chloride, Natural Flavors, Stevia Leaf Extract. The product is gluten-free and vegan-friendly. LMNT publishes full ingredient lists for every flavor on its website.
The Lemonade Iced Tea flavor adds organic black tea powder, providing approximately 50 mg of naturally occurring caffeine per packet along with L-theanine and polyphenols. All other current flavors are caffeine-free.
LMNT recommends mixing one packet with 16 to 32 oz of water, sparkling water, tea, or a smoothie. Multiple independent reviewers noted that mixing at the lower end (16 oz) produces a noticeably salty taste; 28 to 32 oz is often preferred by first-time users.
The product is classified by LMNT as a beverage rather than a dietary supplement, so it carries a Nutrition Facts panel. LMNT states on its website that this classification means it is not eligible for third-party NSF testing, which some competing products do carry.
BarBend's registered dietitian reviewer rated the formulation 4.5 out of 5, praising the focus on electrolytes most heavily lost in sweat (sodium, potassium, magnesium) and the absence of sugar and artificial sweeteners. The RD noted the high sodium dose may exceed what sedentary or low-activity users need.
