Why does LYTES have 1,000mg of sodium?

LYTES is a high sodium formula designed to rapidly rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes.

Athletes and individuals pushing the limits can lose upwards of 7,000mg of sodium, per day, through sweat. Although government guidelines recommend Americans to consume no more than 2,300mg of sodium per day, it's not enough and is in fact linked to higher blood pressure.

Newer studies show that the sweet spot for sodium intake sits at 4-6g per day.

1,000 mg of sodium from pink Himalayan salt per stick helps to:

  1. Replace sodium lost through sweat and exercise.
  2. Increase sodium intake and support individuals who regularly fast and follow low carb diets.
  3. Increase sodium intake in individuals who need to increase their sodium intake based on dietary choices like paleo and carnivore lifestyles.
