Our Verdict
LMNT Raw Unflavored is the purest formulation in the electrolyte market -- just 3 ingredients. The intentionally high sodium (1000mg) and minimal potassium/magnesium make it polarizing; it is ideal for keto/fasting/heavy sweaters but may be excessive for sedentary users. The independent lead finding (27 ppb) warrants disclosure, though it falls within typical ranges for natural salt products. Lack of any formal third-party certification (NSF, Informed Sport) is notable given the premium price.
