I’ve been taking LMNT for about a month and I feel superb. I finally got my brother on the phone who is an ER doc at a prominent hospital and he said the notion that taking double the recommended sodium intake that the American Heart Association recommends is the silliest thing he had ever heard. It seems like all of LMNT’s business model is backed solely by Dr. James DiNicolantonio’s research. And the more I try to find any evidence to the claim that sedentary people need 3g-5g of sodium per day, and athletic folk need 5g-7g this is seeming like more of a real fringe science.

I love taking LMNT, and it has dramatically improved my performance at least seemingly.. but I would love it if anyone could point me in the direction of a body of well-established research on this, because it seems like there are only a couple doctors touting this which makes me suspicious of a shill.
