We’re excited to announce our partnership with LMNT, a pioneer in superior hydration solutions. The key to proper hydration isn’t just water—it’s water plus electrolytes.

Co-created by Robb Wolf and Luis Villasenor, LMNT provides optimal ratios of sodium, potassium, and magnesium, ensuring not only health and performance benefits but also a delightful taste experience with flavours like Orange Salt, Citrus Salt, and the new Watermelon Salt.
To celebrate our partnership, we’re offering you a free sample pack.
