The protocol gap most optimizers miss.
If you wear an Oura ring, drink Mountain Valley, sauna five times a week, and follow Andrew Huberman on every protocol they publish. You probably have a $4 hole in a $15,000 stack.

You spent $5,000 on the sauna. You wear the ring. You bought the cold plunge. You only drink Mountain Valley because you read the BPA studies on plastic.
Then you walked into the sauna with the same LMNT they sell at every CrossFit gym in the country.
This is the protocol gap. You got 95% of the optimization right. The supplement that fuels the most demanding stress your body voluntarily takes on is the one piece you treated like a commodity. The math does not work.
The mismatch is hiding in plain sight.
LMNT was built for endurance athletes. The formula reflects that. 1,000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium. Designed for slow steady mineral loss across a six hour ultramarathon.
Sauna physiology does not work that way. Maughan et al. measured the exact loss profile in 30 minutes at 180°F. 1,000mg sodium. 400mg potassium. 100mg magnesium. Same fluid volume as a half marathon. Faster, denser, and your heart rate climbs without the cardiovascular work to support it.
The ratios are wrong. The dose is wrong. The product was built for someone else's body doing something else.
A generic packet on a $5,000 bench. Read the room.
You optimized everything except the one thing your body actually drains.
You read every Rhonda Patrick episode on heat exposure. You know the Finnish 20-year cohort study (Laukkanen et al.) found 4 to 7 sauna sessions per week reduced all cause mortality by 40%. You bought the cedar one because birch made you suspicious.
And then you let the supplement be the place you cut corners.
Most users who quit sauna within six weeks of starting do not quit because of the sauna. They quit because they feel terrible afterward. Cramping. Headaches. The post session crash. The 2am calf lock that wrecks the next day. Søberg has presented this data twice. It is the consistency problem, and the consistency problem is a supplement problem disguised as a discipline problem.
Left: what LMNT was built for. Right: what your body is actually doing.
What the right formula actually looks like.
Same sodium as LMNT (1,000mg) because Maughan measured the same fluid volume loss as a half marathon. That part LMNT got right by coincidence.
Double the potassium because cellular function under heat stress drains intracellular potassium roughly twice as fast as endurance running drains it. Glycinate magnesium because oxide is cheap but causes GI distress at the doses needed for cramp prevention. Vitamin C because 30 minutes at 180°F generates oxidative stress markers comparable to a moderate aerobic workout, and your body uses vitamin C as the primary water soluble antioxidant cofactor.
Zero sugar because your blood glucose is already volatile under peak heat stress and adding 11 grams of sucrose (Liquid IV) into that physiology is the wrong move.
This is the formula your stack has been missing.

The piece that finishes the stack.
"I built Sauna Method because I was the optimizer this is written for. Oura ring. Mountain Valley in glass. $7,000 sauna in the basement. And I was still cramping at 2am because every electrolyte I tried was built for a different body doing a different thing."
"Big supplement brands will not build for sauna because the market is too small. So I built it myself with a manufacturer in Long Island. Four actives. Real ratios. Every batch tested. No proprietary blends, no sugar, no shortcuts."
Chase · Founder, Sauna Method
Sauna Method Pre-Sauna Electrolytes.
The first electrolyte calibrated specifically for the volume and mineral profile of sauna heat loss. Four actives. Zero sugar. Built for the protocol you are already running.
- 1,000mg sodium (matches Maughan 2016 sauna sweat profile)
- 400mg potassium (2x what LMNT runs)
- 100mg magnesium glycinate (no GI distress)
- 250mg vitamin C (oxidative stress cofactor)
- Zero sugar. Zero artificial colors.
- Made in an FDA registered facility in Long Island, NY
- Every batch tested for heavy metals (Prop 65)
Common questions.
Why not just keep using LMNT?
LMNT works well for what it was built for. It was not built for sauna. Same sodium as us, but half the potassium and 60% less magnesium. If you only sauna once a week, LMNT is probably fine. If you sauna 4+ times a week, the cumulative gap shows up as cramping, fatigue, and post-session crash.
Can I stack this with my current electrolyte?
No need. Sauna Method has all the actives you need for sauna sweat. Stacking would oversupply sodium and potentially cause issues. Use Sauna Method for sauna sessions, use whatever you currently use for other contexts (running, gym, hot yoga).
Why not just use Liquid IV?
Liquid IV runs 11g of sugar per serving and only 500mg sodium. Too much sugar, half the sodium. Built for general hydration, not sauna specifically.
When does it ship?
All founders orders ship mid-June 2026 from our facility in Long Island, NY.
