Common questions

Is LMNT Orange Salt healthy?

LMNT Orange Salt scores 7/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix (salt base). It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in LMNT Orange Salt?

LMNT Orange Salt lists 6 ingredients, starting with Magnesium Malate, Salt, Citric Acid, Potassium Chloride and Stevia Leaf Extract. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does LMNT Orange Salt contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in LMNT Orange Salt’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is LMNT Orange Salt?

LMNT Orange Salt is NOVA group 4: ultra-processed. That is the top of the scale and the classification the score penalises most heavily.

This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.

Does LMNT Orange Salt contain heavy metals?
