NOHonestly, not a fan 🤷🏼♀️
While I AM a fan of electrolytes to help deeply hydrate and provide essential minerals, they are not all “healthy” or “clean.”
Here are my main issues with LMNT:
❌Hidden maltodextrin: this is a sweetener with a high glycemic index, usually made from corn, wheat, soy, rice, or tapioca. It might impact blood sugar for some, but it can also cause gut inflammation and impact the microbiome.
❌Inorganic stevia: this is likely processed with hexane and residue can be left behind in foods (n-hexane). The composition can vary based on the petroleum used and the processing. Ultimately, n-hexane can be left behind which is known to be neurotoxic and hormone-disrupting.
❌Natural flavors: this could include hundreds of undisclosed ingredients including chemical additives like preservatives, solvents, and others that can alter the taste and keep you coming back for more.
🙅♀️And other brands have unfortunately tested positive for PFAS, also use natural flavors, artificial sweeteners, etc.
Like I said, I am a fan of using electrolytes and minerals, especially since our soil is so depleted.
👉🏼And for my pregnant & postpartum mamas- your baby takes about 4 POUNDS of minerals during your pregnancy 🤯 so it’s so important to replenish 🙏🏼
👉🏼Write “HYDRATE” to see my preferred choice and what I use daily - NO artificial sweeteners, natural flavors, stevia, or hidden chemicals.
