@@motivationhw.i guess that u made enough for 2-3 days since u added 5tsp of salt... the body needs 4700mg of Potassium per day for adult males..one teaspoon of the P that u added is less than 6 grams of which half is chloride..so the container of electrolytes has 3000mg of P in it.
@@WillyEckaslike depending on how much time I sweat each day is how I base my electrolyte serving and water consumption amounts on. So if I don't work out at all and I'm not in a hot sweaty environment I usually have two servings of this per day and a minimum of 64-80 oz of water with it. This recipe makes 10 servings. So it lasts 2 to 5 days only because I'm an active individual. The potassium amount that I mixed may have chloride in it because I use potassium chloride, but the amount is based on the serving of potassium on the nutrition label. I also know the daily recommended values for adult males and females. Taking supplements are not intended to replace malnutrition due to poor dietary choice/consumption. This particular case is to ensure adequate hydration. There is roughly 2000mg of potassium in the container after making 10 servings (200mg/servings).
Thank you so much for making this video, this is by far the cheapest way of making a lot of electrolytes drink mixes just so people know there is a cheaper box of true lemon on Amazon of 500 packs, keep making great videos And have a wonderful day
I deeply appreciate you leaving such kind words! Thank you for the info. I'm tired of ripping open the true packets lol definitely going to look for an option that I can scoop with my measuring spoons to speed the process of the bulk recipe up! Also note that I goofed up the potassium measurement and was just notified of my error. In the video and on the recipe it will only make 105mg of potassium per serving, so you'll have to double what I used if you use the same potassium chloride supplement that I did in the video!
Yes! I have been doing this myself for several months and it's delicious. I use redmond salt and only true lemon (i dont like lime) and it does the job well. Tastes like healthy gatorade!
Yes you definitely can use No Salt. It does have additional sodium included so for those who choose this option they should keep that in consideration if also using another form of sodium
I dont see this in the ingredient list? Here is the copy and paste..... Crystallized Lime [citric acid, lime oil, lime juice]. Non-GMO. @@AlistairDurie
Superb video and comments to make an inexpensive electrolyte mix. I will certainly be trying your way rather than buying the expensive electrolytes from you know who. Kudos to you for the short and sweet video which will help all of us keto/carnivore people.
Thank you so much! Just note if you get the potassium chloride like I have, you will need to double the amount that I said in the video. This will give you 210 mg per serving, otherwise the serving size of potassium that I have in the video will only get you 105mg of potassium.
It definitely is! The hardest part is ripping the True packets lol I'll tweak it and find something else for flavoring down the road to limit prep time even more and also remain healthy!
Note that different forms of Mg, K, and Na have different amounts of elemental Mg, K, and Na. What this means is that if you're using MgMalate instead of MgCl, you would use a different amount (weight) of the Malate form of Mg than the Chloride form. This is really important to understand because you want the proper ratio of elemental sodium (Na) to potassium (K) to magnesium (Mg). For example, if your K to Na ratio is too high, you could end up with hyponatremia which is a medical emergency.
@@ChrissyChrissyChrissy333 I believe for sports drinks they all have more sodium (Na) than potassium (K). Some go with a 2 to 1 ratio, others are quite a bit higher with the Na, 3 to 1 or higher. The point I was trying to make is that you need to know how much Na is in a gram of table salt or whatever you are using to supply Na. You want the Na amount, not the total amount of salt. So whatever substances you're using, you can look up how much Na or K is in one gram of that substance and then do the arithmetic to get the ratio you're trying to achieve. Also, if you start with juice (which I have done), you'll need to look up how much Na and K is in one cup of that juice. For example, I've used 1 cup apple juice with 2 parts water. the cup of apple juice has 240 mg of K but no Na, so if I'm making a drink that I want to have a 3 to 1 ratio of Na to K, then I will need to add salt or sodium bicarb or some of both to bring the Na in the drink up to 3 X 240, or 720 mg of Na. Hope this helps.
@@KatarinaS. I got one from "Earthborn Elements" on Amazon, it does not list any vitamin C on the nutrition facts. The ingredients list just says "Lemon Powder."
I don't think I'll ever do that unless I am monitored regularly by blood testing (lab values) to ensure my body needs PH balancing or not. If your body already has the recommended PH levels, why try to balance it? Even if labs told me my PH was off, I don't think I would supplement with baking soda. More of a nutrition change from my normal food consumption.
I use what's called "No salt" (sodium free alernative) for a much cheaper choice for potassium. Find it in the spices at your grocery store. It is Potassium chloride and potassium bitartrate - both very bioavalable.
Hey! Yes, Celtic sea salt is an amazing option. Sometimes recommended over Himalayan pink salt. If you have a different version of sea salt, that will do the same, it just may not be as 'pure' as Celtic. 😊
Music used? 🤔🤗 Great vid and recipe - was looking for a good homemade recipe. Thanks! 👍 True Lime & Lemon was great tip. Never heard of that product before, can totally use it for many things.
@@motivationhwthanks! I've re-listened to the vid multiple times just for that! It's okay if it takes too much to too look up. But if not a problem, would appreciate.
That's amazing!! Just note that I goofed up the potassium in the video. Being potassium chloride, you only get 105mg of potassium in the amount I suggested. So if you have the exact same stuff, you will need to double it!! Kudo's to you for doing a fast like this 🙌🏻✊🏻
You sure can. Just note that it does contain potassium, so don't overdose yourself with No Salt and a potassium concentrate when mixing up your own recipe!
Great question! There are 3 major ones backed by science: sodium, potassium, and Magnesium. Some people also add calcium as well, but there are a few others as well that aren't included in many electrolyte mixes.
105 mg of potassium and 60 mg of magnesium (roughly). I have been doubling the amount I said in the video for potassium because I want 200 mg of potassium per serving.
It's going to depend on how active you are throughout the day and the temperature of your environment. I like to get at least 32 oz of water with electrolytes. This is roughly half my intake of water in a day. If I'm more active then I am closer to 64 oz of water with electrolytes and maybe 16 to 32 oz of water without.
sadly True Lime/Lemon contains Maltodextrin (high glycemic index). would love to find a simple, pure natural flavour powder but I cannot find anything.
Natural flavor is not natural. Taking Maltodextrin in extremely small amounts isn't going to spike your blood sugar. Plus, you aren't just pouring it in your mouth like candy powder. You are taking it with 16-32oz. If you're worried about it, then there are other forms of flavoring like real lime juice or lemon juice. To each their own. Perks of having a DIY recipe! I hope you find something that works for you 😊
Thank you I really needed this video. But just to be clear so that I can get it right, you're saying now that it's 2 teaspoons of potassium as opposed to your video that says only one? Also, what is the conversion of Mg Chloride to Mg Malate? I can't do mg chloride.
Yes, if you do two teaspoons of the same magnesium chloride that I had in the video it will add up to the correct amount of potassium to match LMNT's formula. If you use magnesium malate, You will just have to see the serving size on the back of the container that you purchase. Check how much a single serving is and then how much magnesium is in that amount. You will then just adjust the serving size to match 60 mg of magnesium malate or whatever form of magnesium you decide to go with.
Magnesium oxide has 3% absorption versus citrate with 30% absorption. First tinkle on PH paper after sleeping indicates amount magnesium absorbed. Magnesium is alkaline. Urine PH is 5.5 to 5.7 after magnesium oxide 400mg /day for 3 days or above 6.0 after 3 days magnesium citrate 200 mg / day. Need 3 consecutive days to see change as cellular magnesium levels low with oxide need 2 days on citrate for cells to slow up take and start excreting magnesium in urine.
@@motivationhw - I did Google search for magnesium absorb led to 3% versus 30%. By chance I was measuring urine pH after sleeping and could not get pH above acid 5.6 after 4 days eating oxide 400 mg per day. Magnesium oxide from Swanson and wanted to return oxide as they should not be selling oxide. Swanson did not listen and still sells oxide.
Hi, Thanks so much. I have been making my own electrolytes for a year now. RECOMMENDATION: buy tiny 2*2 or smaller ziploc bags. WHY: the texture in those 3 elements is way too different I would never do it on a batch! I just do them all while watching tv. I have them ready to go on my tea drawer.
If you buy everything from Amazon at the time of my other electrolyte video it would come to under $60 for everything. Some of it is cheaper at Walmart than if you got it all off of Amazon. The links to everything are in the description of the video. Here is the link to my other electrolyte video if you wanted to see the pricing of my cart that I recorded for that video: ua-cam.com/video/uYXcA_ay1Lw/v-deo.htmlsi=euEenOUFFTshWIa1
Off the top of my noggin I know they make Potassium Citrate, Potassium bicarbonate, Potassium gluconate, and Potassium Chloride. There may be other versions as well.
@@motivationhw. Potassium citrate helps the kidneys not make crystals, but it’s not used the same way as potassium chloride, which helps with low potassium levels. They’re not exactly interchangeable. I don’t know about the other types.
Yes you can. You can also eat foods with magnesium and potassium and then just drink the recommended amount of water to maintain a hydrated state throughout the day!
Magnesium Glycerinate is the best by all accounts. It is what I use and I feel its effects. But it tastes like rotten fish so hard to integrate. I tend to make electrolyte capsules and take a few throughout the day with food and water. For potassium I use potassium chloride, supposed to be the best but as I found out it is very dangerous. I took 1g, in a capsule, on an empty stomach and ended up in hospital. My capsules now are 0.5g. 25% Potassium chloride, 25% Himalayan salt and 50% magnesium. 2-5 times a day.
Before I make this,, that seems like a lot of salt ,does the drink taste salty or does the lemon and lime strong enough too overwhelming the salt taste Thanks
It is definitely salty. I use .75-1 tsp in 32oz and mix well. You can always put less salt in your mix when you make it originally so that it isn't as salty. Or just mix in half a teaspoon (that's what my mom does). I find that it isn't nearly salty enough to make your mouth feel like saltwater after. The flavoring is enough for my taste buds to be happy while still getting the electrolyte levels that LMNT recommends based on their research!
iT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE TYPE OF mAGNESIUM AND POTASSIUM YOU USE.. JUST SAYING. The types LMNT.. has the least likelihood of upsetting your stomach, in the qty that you're drinking. Their recepie: • ½ teaspoon salt provides about 1 gram sodium • 400 mg *potassium chloride* provides about 200 mg potassium • ¼ teaspoon of *magnesium malate* provides about 60 mg magnesium NOTE: If you're prone to kidney stones... you may want to research which type of Potassium is best for you.
I would honestly have to do some research to answer that question with confidence. Someone else in the comments may be able to give you some good insight!
From sources that contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. Then you would use anything natural for flavoring like fruit juice, lemons, coconuts, or whatever you like. Or don't flavor it at all and just drink/eat to get the necessities!
@@motivationhw Yes, and in reference to what @rafewheadon1963 wrote. . .23000 years ago, all food was REAL (unadulterated, unprocessed) food; the nutrient content therein was phenomenal (everything natural, everything organic!). Today, a high percentage of what is sold as food is ultra-processed and nutrient-deficient, which is why our bodies are not getting the electrolytes they need. If we were meticulous about obtaining the ideal amount of sodium chloride, magnesiurm, potassium, calcium , phosphate, etc., from the food we eat every day, we wouldn't need to supplement as much. However, since most of us are NOT getting all the electrolytes we need from the food we're consuming-especially in the hottest months, and especially if we are working out (sweating away our electrolytes) regularly-adding electrolytes to our water is a great idea. And your body will notice the difference right away.
One tsp of the mix in this video makes one serving for 16-32oz of water (roughly 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of Potassium, and 60mg of magnesium). How many servings you take in a day depends on what you're trying to accomplish with taking the supplements. I usually have 1-2 tsp in 64+oz of water in a day.
@@brandonstewart3063 make one serving with the recommended levels of each ingredient and then you will know how much you need for each scoop! If you don't use the same ingredients I did in the downloadable recipe, the serving sizes will change.
If anyone wants to help this person they are more than welcome to. You can ask AI or Google to convert it for you as well. It's quite rude to call my work gibberish...
@@motivationhw You asked for a source. I posted a link to it. Basically, you need an order of magnitude more sodium than potassium, and an order of magnitude more potassium than calcium, and an order of magnitude more calcium than magnesium. Per liter of water, you need 2g table salt, a pinch of salt replacer, and a tablespoon of sugar to increase uptake.
No they aren't. The measurements are correct. They are based on the numbers that LMNT uses in their electrolyte mix 1000mg Sodium, 200mg Potassium, and 60mg of Magnesium. You aren't wrong when you look at the recommended daily values. Potassium is higher than Sodium by 2-3x.
The recommended intake of sodium had been 2300 milligrams a day, but is now 1500 mg/d; that for potassium being unchanged at 4700 mg/day. The sodium:potassium ratio, therefore, has moved from 1:2 to almost 1:3, which is closer to what is believed to be the body's ideal.Feb 2, 2013. A simple Google search produced this.
I would do some research on sodium to potassium ratio. "The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends ingestion of less than 2000 mg of sodium per day and more than 3510 mg of potassium per day [13], resulting in a Na-to-K ratio of ≤1.0, which is believed to be optimal for preserving cardiovascular health"
The information that I got for this recipe came from the levels that LMNT has in their electrolyte mix. I will say that diving deeper into the research from multiple sources is always recommended. I agree with you completely!
Magnesium Chloride may cause gastro disturbances, try instead Magnesium Malate.
You can definitely try Magnesium Malate! Nothing wrong with using the supplements that work for your body.
Magnesium glycinate. Better bioavailability
Magnesium chloride is bath salts?
@@lauras4472 you can bathe in magnesium chloride if you want. Idk if it will do anything for you.
not Mg Oxide which only has a 5% absorption

You are welcome! 😊
Potassium Chloride causes bad upset stomach for me. Do they make other types we can use? I think Chloride bothers me.
Off the top of my noggin I know they make Potassium Citrate, Potassium bicarbonate, Potassium gluconate, and Potassium Chloride. There may be other versions as well.
@@motivationhw thank you
@@motivationhwand you can use any form you like? Doesn’t matter?
@@lauras4472 for bathing or for consuming?
@@motivationhw. Potassium citrate helps the kidneys not make crystals, but it’s not used the same way as potassium chloride, which helps with low potassium levels. They’re not exactly interchangeable. I don’t know about the other types.
Can you just put salt on your food?
Yes you can. You can also eat foods with magnesium and potassium and then just drink the recommended amount of water to maintain a hydrated state throughout the day!
You could have doubled your magnesium to 2.5 teaspoons and potassium to 2 teaspoons for 10 servings.
Magnesium Glycerinate is the best by all accounts. It is what I use and I feel its effects. But it tastes like rotten fish so hard to integrate. I tend to make electrolyte capsules and take a few throughout the day with food and water.
For potassium I use potassium chloride, supposed to be the best but as I found out it is very dangerous. I took 1g, in a capsule, on an empty stomach and ended up in hospital.
My capsules now are 0.5g. 25% Potassium chloride, 25% Himalayan salt and 50% magnesium. 2-5 times a day.
The links don't match to the exact products you used.
I will have to go through and look at them! Thank you
Before I make this,, that seems like a lot of salt ,does the drink taste salty or does the lemon and lime strong enough too overwhelming the salt taste
Thanks
It is definitely salty. I use .75-1 tsp in 32oz and mix well. You can always put less salt in your mix when you make it originally so that it isn't as salty. Or just mix in half a teaspoon (that's what my mom does). I find that it isn't nearly salty enough to make your mouth feel like saltwater after. The flavoring is enough for my taste buds to be happy while still getting the electrolyte levels that LMNT recommends based on their research!
iT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON THE TYPE OF mAGNESIUM AND POTASSIUM YOU USE.. JUST SAYING. The types LMNT.. has the least likelihood of upsetting your stomach, in the qty that you're drinking. Their recepie: •
½ teaspoon salt provides about 1 gram sodium
• 400 mg *potassium chloride* provides about 200 mg potassium
• ¼ teaspoon of *magnesium malate* provides about 60 mg magnesium
NOTE: If you're prone to kidney stones... you may want to research which type of Potassium is best for you.
Any cons to using sodium chloride instead of cooking/seasoning salt?
I would honestly have to do some research to answer that question with confidence. Someone else in the comments may be able to give you some good insight!
i would stick with Himalayan, Celtic, or Redmon's
@@zepguwlthistle7924 thank you for your suggestions!
Oh man! 😂 Sodium chloride == table salt ❤
@@Radoslav-gk7wu Yes it is commonly known as table salt. Is there a reason why you stated that with the laughing face? 🤔
Just say no to potassium chloride, only use citrate, the form naturally found in foods.
No to magnesium chloride yes to magnesium malate.
Thank you for your opinion Gayle! 🙏🏻
I have ordered magnesium sulfate and potassium chloride , sodium bicarbonate, rock salt should I use this or not it is harm full ?
Celtic sea salt....check it out
You dont find these packets in nature. How would i get electrolytes 23000 years ago?
From sources that contain sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride. Then you would use anything natural for flavoring like fruit juice, lemons, coconuts, or whatever you like. Or don't flavor it at all and just drink/eat to get the necessities!
Thankfully you're alive now.
@@motivationhw Yes, and in reference to what @rafewheadon1963 wrote. . .23000 years ago, all food was REAL (unadulterated, unprocessed) food; the nutrient content therein was phenomenal (everything natural, everything organic!). Today, a high percentage of what is sold as food is ultra-processed and nutrient-deficient, which is why our bodies are not getting the electrolytes they need. If we were meticulous about obtaining the ideal amount of sodium chloride, magnesiurm, potassium, calcium , phosphate, etc., from the food we eat every day, we wouldn't need to supplement as much. However, since most of us are NOT getting all the electrolytes we need from the food we're consuming-especially in the hottest months, and especially if we are working out (sweating away our electrolytes) regularly-adding electrolytes to our water is a great idea. And your body will notice the difference right away.
how many tsp of the mix can you have a day? e.g. 75 oz / 16oz? = 4.68? tsp a day
One tsp of the mix in this video makes one serving for 16-32oz of water (roughly 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of Potassium, and 60mg of magnesium). How many servings you take in a day depends on what you're trying to accomplish with taking the supplements. I usually have 1-2 tsp in 64+oz of water in a day.
If I only used the salt, mag and potassium and no other ingredients would I still use the 1 Tsp as the serving size?
@@brandonstewart3063 make one serving with the recommended levels of each ingredient and then you will know how much you need for each scoop! If you don't use the same ingredients I did in the downloadable recipe, the serving sizes will change.
@@motivationhw thank you
@@zepguwlthistle7924 Absolutely! 🙂
I love methods that don't create trash like those single use packets.
I agree! Once I'm out of mine I will be ordering something different that I can use a measuring spoon to scoop and mix!
Really want my email for this. lol
Feel free to do whatever you want my man!
Do the iodine test. Your true lemon and true lime have maltodextrin.
It's not listed on the ingredients.
@motivationhw that's bc it's part of the process for making flavoring into powder. It's what lmnt is having everyone in an uproar about also.
@exchangestudent2 I see! Thank you for sharing this with us 🙏🏻
someone please translate this gibberish to metric system please
If anyone wants to help this person they are more than welcome to. You can ask AI or Google to convert it for you as well. It's quite rude to call my work gibberish...
That's way too much magnesium.
According to what source? It's the recommended amount based from the research that has been done in the past.
@@motivationhw Why aren't my comments showing up? I wrote a reply twice...
@@2sudonim I have no clue. Did you say bad words or share links by chance?
@@motivationhw You asked for a source. I posted a link to it. Basically, you need an order of magnitude more sodium than potassium, and an order of magnitude more potassium than calcium, and an order of magnitude more calcium than magnesium. Per liter of water, you need 2g table salt, a pinch of salt replacer, and a tablespoon of sugar to increase uptake.
that website of yours is one gigantic pain the arse!!
Which one?
Your body requires 2 to three times more potassium than sodium. His measurements are reversed.
No they aren't. The measurements are correct. They are based on the numbers that LMNT uses in their electrolyte mix 1000mg Sodium, 200mg Potassium, and 60mg of Magnesium.
You aren't wrong when you look at the recommended daily values. Potassium is higher than Sodium by 2-3x.
@@motivationhw those measurements will kill you.
@@L_Sivad how so?
@@motivationhw just Google sodium potassium balance, Human health, That will give you all the answers you need.
The recommended intake of sodium had been 2300 milligrams a day, but is now 1500 mg/d; that for potassium being unchanged at 4700 mg/day. The sodium:potassium ratio, therefore, has moved from 1:2 to almost 1:3, which is closer to what is believed to be the body's ideal.Feb 2, 2013. A simple Google search produced this.
Mix the lemon and lime. Add a drop of pine essential oil. You’re welcome.
I would do some research on sodium to potassium ratio.
"The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends ingestion of less than 2000 mg of sodium per day and more than 3510 mg of potassium per day [13], resulting in a Na-to-K ratio of ≤1.0, which is believed to be optimal for preserving cardiovascular health"
The information that I got for this recipe came from the levels that LMNT has in their electrolyte mix.
I will say that diving deeper into the research from multiple sources is always recommended. I agree with you completely!
I wouldn't believe the WHO tbh...
I wouldn’t listen to anything the WHO says about health…
@@keith4669 I agree; kind of embarrassing for anyone to quote what the "WHO" says :)
hahaha the WHO....... GTFA the same Asshole who wanted everyone vaccinated
Amazon sucks
Why do you say that?
