Are “zero-sugar” electrolyte companies really as clean as they claim? In this episode, we dig into the recent controversy surrounding LMNT, a popular zero-sugar electrolyte brand, and the discovery that their product contains maltodextrin (a type of sugar). What does this mean for their transparency and for those of us trying to stay true to a low-carb lifestyle? We’ll explore the implications of this revelation, why it matters, and how to choose products that align with your health goals.
