N-2 vs. LMNT®: Mineral-First vs. Sodium-First
LMNT® is a well-known sodium-first electrolyte mix designed for people who follow low-carb or ketogenic diets and prioritize high sodium intake. It delivers 1,000 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium, and 60 mg of magnesium per serving, with no calcium and no trace minerals.
N-2 takes a different approach: balanced mineral hydration. Instead of leading with a large sodium dose, N-2 balances 550 mg of sodium with meaningful amounts of calcium (130 mg), magnesium (130 mg), potassium (200 mg), and 70+ marine-sourced trace minerals, all with no added sugar.
Both products have a role. The question is which approach fits your daily routine.
| N-2 | LMNT® | |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 550 mg, balanced for daily use | 1,000 mg per serving |
| Calcium | 130 mg (10% DV) from marine algae | None |
| Magnesium | 130 mg (30% DV) from seawater | 60 mg from malate |
| Potassium | 200 mg from coconut water | 200 mg from chloride |
| Trace minerals | 70+ naturally occurring, marine-sourced | None |
| Added sugar | None (stevia leaf) | None (stevia leaf) |
| Mineral source | Seawater, marine algae, coconut water | Lab-isolated mineral salts |
| Designed for | Daily mineral restoration | High-sodium, low-carb protocols |
