Do you have recommendations for flavoring? Specifically lemon?
@@kathynew4140 You could do an infusion with citrus fruit, berries, cucumber, or mint if tolerated!
Why Malate versus other types?

Thank you! I have very poor vision and there's no way I could do all those tiny little measurements.
Is this 2 servings of 2/3 cup???
Homemade Electrolyte Mix recipe:
2 2/3 cups Pink Himalayan Salt, 1/3 cup Potassium Chloride, 1/3 cup Magnesium Malate.
@@dannymazariego786 serving size is 3/4 of a teaspoon. This recipe makes 256 servings.
Thank you! So much redundant talking!
Wow, it really shines a light on how much profit is built into those LMNT packages.
Well, they have to pay the social media influencers to shill it somehow!🤣
People will always pay big money for convenience
yup, marketing and packaging, you gotta pay for the distribution and to keep the lights on
Thank you for this recipe and tutorial! I would suggest NOT keeping a metal spoon in the salts, as metal often interacts poorly with salts. A wooden or plastic spoon will avoid the weird 'corrosion' that can happen with metal. Or you can just keep the spoon separate.
What if you want to take electrolyte drink with you is a plastic bottle better then a metal bottle ? I prefer metal over plastic 🤔
@@jozefien1702it’s probably more of a concern in the long term storage of the mixture, not so much prepared / watered down use within a day single serve ? You could have the measured amount for the bottle in a small container or ziplock bag to add to your bottle when ready to consume
LMNT flavored products contain maltodextrin not openly disclosed. It is included in "0ther flavors/ingredients". LMNT is allowed to do this because the government considers it a safe additive. If you are sensitive to maltodextrin, be aware that it is in the LMNT flavored products.
Maltodextrine is also higher on the glycemic index if you are a diabetic, bad for you.
LMNT does NOT use Maltodextrin. They use Stevia. Simply untrue.
Thank you😊
Receipts??
@PiscesMoon2You Hello. I have the calf cramps myself. I have been taking a magnesium supplement. You might want to give that a try. I am taking a Nature Made 400mg soft gels and usually take 4 of them and tha usually last me about 2 days.
Pretty sure LMNT is getting better cost on the raw material than we would - nice markup there! 😁 TYVM for the recipe
YOU ARE AWESOME. I AM 67 yrs old. One month into carnivore. I was going to order the electrolyte but NOW I’m going to make my own thanks to you. God bless you sweet girl. Not only beautiful but really SMART TOO✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️
Thank you!
@@neahsway I'm exactly one month into carnivore right now too in my 50's. My husband is on it too and he's having ALOT of leg cramping even tho I'm adding some potassium using Cream of Tartar for now till I buy a better form. When I used Potassium chloride 2 yrs ago, it gave me alot of gas for some reason 😬 I wonder if I can switch the type of potassium
@c4caffeen134 can I suggest that if you can afford it, ask the doctor to order a potassium test, just to be sure that's what is causing his cramping. For me, I use Theraworx, which is just a magnesium foam, but I put it on my legs for night cramps.
You and caffeen, would y'all please tell me how it's going for you. I really like the ideals behind this diet, but I quit losing and am gaining. I think it has to do with my diabetes, but being older (almost 58), I really would like to know if this will eventually work for me. I've heard tell that it can just be the body working things out first and just to be patient. I certainly hope so!
@Jennifr1966
Sometimes, if you've dieted in the past, the body will go through a period of testing you to see if & how long you'll stick it out on this one. It may be a month or 2 or even several months depending upon your specific body, but during that time a lot will usually be happening on a cellular level (even if you don't see anything)... healing, body size changing/morphing (maybe), & other stuff. I'd say as long as you're feeling good, stick with it & beat your body. I know that might not sound encouraging but, it's pretty accurate.
I learned this from my doctor several years ago when I got stuck & was highly discouraged, she encouraged me to start measuring every surface of my body to see if I noted any changes at all during that time. For me, I wasn't losing #s, but my body was basically redefining itself, firming up my skin, & redistributing weight around in better ways, so a lot of work was being done.
Then, several months after the stall boom, I lost 10#, & I was back on my journey again.
IDK if this happens to everyone, but it must happen often, otherwise doctors wouldn't know to tell you about it & encourage you to stick it out!
Hope you're doing well...
You can also buy a brand called "NoSalt" basically at any major store that is pure potassium chloride as well.
That’s what I use !
Great video...thanks for the recipe. On Amazon I bought one bag of Grelim Lime Powder 11.30 oz and one bag of Grelim Lemon Powder 11.30 oz and added both entire bags to the recipe. For me it's the perfect amount of citrus flavor....very mild flavor. I hope this helps someone. Thanks again for the video....good job!!!
Very cool idea!
Thank you! I get the flavored LMNT but would love to make my own!!! 😊 I add a lot of supplements to my water and need a flavoring to cover it up 😂
Wait, you added the entire lemon and lime bag to the mix? How does this effect the amount used per drink, do you still use a 3/4 teaspoon? I have MS brain and can't really sort out the math right now but wouldn't that then dilute the mix of electrolytes? I definitely need to make this to save the cost, can't afford the convenience of lmnt. 🙁
@@1984isnow I'm not sure how it would it would affect the ratio. By looking at the mix when it was done it doesn't seem like it would be much. I guess you could four 1/4 tsp (1 tsp) to make up the difference. I'm still using three 1/4 tsp and I enjoy it very much.
If you weigh the drink mix and add the same amount as the electrolytes then the serving size will double. Easiest way.
I haven't looked through the comments and maybe someone has already written it, but why don't you just multiply the grams of each ingredient by 100 and weigh them on the scale at once to have 100 daily doses. It will be times more accurate, faster and easier instead of playing with those approximate 1/2, 1/16, 1/32 spoons and cups.
Salt - 2.8 x 100 = 280g
Potassium chloride - 0.4 x 100 = 40g
Magnesium malate - 0.3 x 100 = 30g
I wanted to show both measurements so that people who don't have a scale that measures grams could do this with what they have on hand, such as measuring spoons/cups.
You commented exactly what I was thinking.
@@neahsway I think what he's saying is, it would have probably been easier AND more accurate to multiply the grams by so many servings, measure them all out that way in your video in the bigger amounts to tell people how to make a batch, then after you mixed it up good since you'd already know the total weight and how many servings that made, you could weigh out a serving and see how big a spoon it is or whatever and say, "So after you've mixed up these amounts, you can scoop out..." this much in teaspoons or tablespoons or whatever, and that's one serving. Your measurements are going to be waaaay more accurate if you multiply WEIGHT first on your scale, which DOES measure grams for your audience, to find out how many bigger scoops or whatever per batch (and divide the batch later by servings) than trying to multiply such tiny and inaccurate measurements as "pretty much exactly 1/16th of a tsp" and "a pretty heaping 1/16th of a tsp". The weights multiplied FIRST just would've helped you make your jar more accurate, and then you could've given your audience how much of each to make so many servings and this is how big a serving to scoop out.
Great opinion!
But if you make a large batch, how can you be sure it’s all mixed evenly?
WOW, thank you for taking the time to figure this out and share it! I have checked into LMNT because it seems like everyone is using it but I simply cannot afford it. I really appreciate you doing this :)
Report from Germany:
Cost per Serving: 0,05€
Savings compared to LMNT: (1,30€ per Serving when subscribed)
Daily: 1,25€
Monthly: 37,55€
Yearly: 456,83€
Himalaya Salt: 21,95€ for 6,4kg
Potassium: 14,90€ for 1kg
Magnesium: 16,14€ for 0,34kg
With these bulk ingredients, I am able to keep the cost per weight low and could be mixing my electrolytes for 500 servings. Without Magnesium 2500 Servings. Without Potassium 16800 Servings.
One suggestion, because I go through 32oz of this stuff every day, is a trick I've learned in making my little factory. Using a 32oz Nalgene bottle I would mix 2 servings (1 teaspoon per 32oz) of the electrolyte powder in the absolute "hottest" water I could run from my tap, which allowed the salts to dissolve into a saturated solution, at which point I would vigorously agitate before storing in the fridge over night to chill...
And another suggestion... try to keep it refrigerated and use within a week... I once left a Nalgene full of this stuff in my hiking pack bottle holster at room temp for a week. When I examined what was in the bottle, I saw some sort of transparent cellulose type filaments floating around, I shook the bottle and they were still there, so I did not drink it, for I had no idea what was going on in that bottle and it looked alien...
THANK YOU for doing this!
I’m a carnivore cyclist who’s prone to heat exhaustion and benefit greatly from Electrolytes!
I’ve been buying and it’s hard to find a sugar free version that doesn’t cost a TON ❤and thank you for doing the math for me!!
Cool! You're welcome!
Start eating carbs then bro
@@gp7110 What do carbs have to do with electrolytes? Even carb-consuming athletes need electrolytes when they're working out heavily in hot conditions...
@@Audifan8595 Low carb or carnivore lose electrolytes much faster that high carb diets.
@@gsts379 gonna need some source citations on that one
It's always nice to see someone produce an actual HELPFUL video. Thanks.
Love the math and details Neah!!! I'm a person of detail with engineering background. I did buy a very expensive electrolyte mix product. I just may consider making the next batch on my own. Thank you for investing your time to make this video guide with great detail!
You're welcome!
Blend the salt in a small bullet style blender and it won’t separate from the powders
Great idea. Worked great. Kudos 😊
Just making this now. Incredible to think how much markup LMNT has on this. I understand there are production costs, but also LMNT will get a better deal on bulk buying their ingredients.
Really doesn’t take much to make this, except for the maths. Thank you for taking the time to go through this, really appreciate it!
I've just been drinking pickle juice and taking magnesium and potassium pills but this seems like a much better option since the ratio is worked out. Thanks!
Pickle juice does work in a pinch if anyone has nocturnal leg/foot cramping.
I told a friend about the pickle juice. That does work very well. I've been using it for about 10 years. He told me that he had heard that mustard will also help. If you can't get some pickle juice, grab a mustard packet!
@@DL-oq6nqI would say also, to look up a basic pickle brine recipe and make it, using the better ingredients such as OG ACV, coconut sugar or evap. natural cane sugar or honey ( all pickle recipes I know of call for some sugar), and Redmond Real salt or Himalayan, sea salt... whatever good one you like. This won't have any leached out minerals from the cucumbers (unless you also buy some and make actual pickles, which anyone can ! ). I can't stand the idea of drinking average store-bought pickle juice myself. It's got food coloring in it, for one thing ( almost always), other junk, and the vinegar used seems to be most always white distilled vinegar which doesn't say "from grain" and so, allegedly, must then be from petroleum production. Sorry to add any more angst to anyone's diet or life, but it's a relatively easy and cheap thing to make oneself, healthier ! The brine, mixed up and boiled til salt etc. is more dissolved, will keep in fridge a long time without canning it. Idk how long, but months I would think.
Neah, you are beautiful AND smart! My hubbie is a pharmacist, and all the Math & conversions he can do always confounded me 😵💫 LOL Thanks for doing all the work for us! I just turned 69, and after three years on Keto (down 30+ lbs) I’ve been wanting to dip my toes into carnivore waters. Your suggestions will make it that much more doable! 🤗💖
Take your 1 serve sizes for each ingredient. X them by the amount of servings you wants in the jar. Add it all in the jar at once. Save spooning it all
Spooning is soo much fun tho.
I was using something called NoSalt as a way to get more potassium (Canada) since I don't eat plants anymore. Problem is that it also has Adipic Acid, Silicon Dioxide, mineral oil, and Fumaric Acid and I don't know anything about those additives so I was looking for an alternative. I wasn't aware that you can buy Potassium Chloride or Potassium Citrate in a package or in capsules (without additives), so thanks for the info. Beautiful kitchen BTW.
Yes, I have the same concerns about nosalt. I've used it before in a pinch. Glad you enjoyed the video!
And it uses a chloride form of potassium, which is harsh on the kidneys. Use potassium citrate instead
I did not know that about NuSalt. I've been using a lot of it. Looks like I need to switch.
@@janp7660me too! Darn it 😮
Yup, I checked the ingredients list when I went to get some from the store. Totally toxic!
This was a really thoughtful video to make! Thanks!!!
You saved me a lot of time Neah. I was half way through making a similar video and would have made the same mistake with the measurements the first time around. Great science lesson!
I had to do it 3 times to get it right lol.
@@neahswayDoes your type of magnesium fully dissolve? My magnesium leaves white sediment after dissolved in water.
Thanks!
@@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline This one seems to dissolve well in room temp water!
For the measuring, just use the scale and multiply the per serving amount by 20... The math and the scale use will be much easier. You can use the spoon for the per serving use.
I've tended to favor the snake juice ratio and put about 1/4 tsp in a quart/liter of water with a single flavor packet. Fond of the True Citrus options, best to order direct, Amazon inflated pricing.
Thanks for the info. Awesome episode!
Just bought the goods. Making it this week! Thank you for putting in the work!
Thank you for breaking this down for us, LMNT is a little more than I can afford for daily drinks.
Thank you for doing all the work!! ❤❤
Thanks for sharing in such great detail 😀
Girl ... You are very Brainy. Kudos for all the mental work with right measurements the math, & your time n efforts .Thanks so much for this great video.🌷💝
Love finding you! I’m your newest follower… thank you so much I just turned 70 been keto and carnivore for 6 years and tired of buying expensive electrolytes.❤
I just use pink salt. I was getting cramps at night and tried all sorts of combinations of potassium and magnesium, in the end the only thing I need is salt. I just add a quick twist to my drinking water in the evening and it has solved all my issues.
Wow, well done Neah... what a saving!! I will be doing this. Thankyou ❤
Welcome!
Super job you did!!! So much detail in the notes for us.
Thank you so much! This really helps my super tight budget. Following you, now; thanks again!
This is brilliant! Thank you so very much for sharing this with us!!!
Thanks so much for doing this. The video was dragging a bit at the beginning, but you have explained exactly what I needed to know. Thank you. You're the best!
She was making it possible for people without a scale to replicate and everyone to understand the basis for her formulation. It was well done in my opinion.
Really interesting idea, thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for this recipe, especially the magnesium maleate and measuring tools! I bought them today using your links! I'm planning to substitute with Real Salt for the Pink Himalayan + I already had some NOW brand Potassium Chloride and an empty wide mouth glass jar to put the electrolyte mix into! I know, so many exclamation points lol but really happy to have this information today 😊
Thank you this was very helpful. Its nice to have the actual measurements. I was making my own but just guessing!
Thank you! I'm gonna try this! I made your ground beef jerky and it was delicious! I love how much you seem to love math and science. I'm a homeschool mom of 4 and appreciate how much thought and effort you put into the cost ❤
Thanks!
Thank you! I’m brand new to carnivore and checked out the LMNT today! Yikes, can’t afford. I’m definitely ordering your supplies today! Thank you for this detailed, easy to follow recipe!
WE APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS 😁💕
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you. I've been procrastinating on doing this for a while.. this kicked me into gear.
I Appreciate the recipe so much! I've not used the LMNT electrolytes (imo there is a lot of packaging & they're expensive for what they are.) I do use KetoChow electrolyte drops though and your video actually made me think ... why am I buying these when I have a distributor I can purchase the elements from & make my own?! Genius!!! 😁🥰 I have a 100% mechanical scientific balance scale that is accurate to one tenth of a gram. I'll never need a new kitchen scale again! When I get low I'll be ordering the elements next time. I DO want to try this mix first to see which one I prefer. Thanks again ❤ I appreciate you!
Thanks for sharing this! Great video ☺️
You're welcome! 💛
I have been making my own from Mary’s nest UA-cam channel. I love how you broke down the cost. I sweeten mine with sweet leaf berry stevia drops, or a few drops of orange extract and plain stevia.
I love Mary's Nest! Her Bone Broth videos are so informative!
absolutely high quality and professional explanation. much love and respect
Welcome back home, Neah! I trust you had a wonderful vacation.
Thanks!
Great video thank you so much for the info!
Make your own is the way to go, lmnt is expensive for what it is.
Thanks for your hard work in getting this tight tor us all. Greetings from Australia
Excellent video! THANK YOU!
Thank you. Definitely making my own. Never bought the high priced stuff.
Fantastic video. I love saving money, and have been wondering how to DIY this. TY
Good info! Thanks, really like your channel, keep it up!
This is amazing and couldn't have been more timely.
My wife and I were just discussing ordering more LMNT since it helps her with milk production. We just ordered the potassium and magnesium through your referral links (already have a lot of Himalayan salt). We can't wait to make it this weekend.
Thank you!
Awesome shirt by the way. I just got my wife one as a surprise. She will love it!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Carnivores today usually recommend redmonds real salt, the pink himalayan stuff is just a gimmick
Thank you again for working this out, am making up a jar today.
Thank you so much. This is very helpful.😊
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you! Made and use. Perfect!
I really appreciate you doing this. I am not great with math so I thought about making my own but it never got past that. I just buy lmnt every once in awhile but I can't afford it very often. Thank you 😊
You're welcome!
Wow! Very impressive presentation, thanks so much for your hard work. I love to save money and you’ve made it easy. Congrats.!😊👍🏼
Craft stores have very small "Ziplock" style bags if you'd like to make your own to-go's of this. You could also consider reusing them 🙂
yes. or even the small ziplock snack bags, the ones that are tall rather than wide would seem to work best. They could be re-used. I'm also thinking that one could add a pkt. of whatever flavor drink mix if someone wanted it flavored.
love carrying around white powder in little baggies!
@jennprescott2757 😂😂😂💀
@@jennprescott2757😂😅😊
I have a question so I hope you can answer it. Why does the LMNT website say 1/4 tsp. BUT you say heaping tsp. of 1/16 or .3 gram??????
I’ve been making my own LMNT for 6 months now. I usually make a batch that lasts me a month. I put about a tsp in my coffee in the morning. I love the salty taste it adds to my coffee. If I need more than that per day then I add some to my water. Or I just put some of the mix under my tongue. But my electrolytes are pretty well balanced now and I don’t need to have more than one tsp (which is what is packed in an LMNT individual packet. I also have an old small (lip gloss) container that I keep in my purse in case I need some when I am out and about. In the very beginning of my keto journey I had a very scary electrolyte deficiency that I thought was a stroke. Luckily, I remembered reading a warning about this possibility and I put Himalayan salt under my tongue and the problem was resolved.
New to carnivore, 1.5 weeks in. How did you know when you need more/less electrolytes? How many doses per day?
Gidday Neah first time watching, nice and thorough video. Been looking for a simple homemade electrolyte recipe like LMNT I can spoon into my water rather than making a whole drink. LMNT in Australia is about AU$2.50, US$1.65. I like the savings, making it in bulk and experimenting with the amounts also. I live in Queensland, very hot and humid and work outside and drink at least 4Litres of water a day, 1US gallon, so I may need a couple servings a day. Thank you for doing the hard work happy I found your channel….
Also from Australia and love LMNT but so expensive. Glad I found this recipe 👏🏻🇦🇺
Thank you! I loved your video!
Thank you so much. This is very! Helpful ❤
Thank you so much for sharing in your experiments and experiences in this. Ties into preparedness perfectly!
My pne thought with this is about the magnesium and potassium content in the pink Himalayan salt (or any other salt sources wit the minerals in them). Seems it would be acceptable limits in combination with the others.
And dont forget to balance your water intake with using it. You can get to a state of dehydration from to many electrolytic sources and/or too much water.
Balance in everything! Blessings!
Thanks!
Most if not all sodium chloride salts won't have enough minerals (other than sodium chloride) to make any difference to anything. Their mineral content is typically absolutely tiny. Like, really, really tiny.
Leah, thanks soooo much for working this out. I tried to make my own using the LMNT formula and came up with different results, but I was doubting my math the whole time. Watching you do it in a video made it all come together (and I figured out what I did wrong). This is an excellent example of how a UA-cam video can be a wonderful tool to help people improve their health in a practical way. Very proud of you and the effort you went to to help us all!!!
You have to consider the density of the products you use- so if they're not EXACTLY what she used, your measurements will be different.
Great job! Thank you! 🤍
💛
very well done video, obvious lots of work, saves me a lot of work, many thanks.
Thanks for this video 👍🫶
Awesome video!!!
I already take plenty of magnesium and potassium in supplements, so I will just add a bit of Celtic sea salt (best type for hydration) to my water.
Finally there is a break down for electrolytes. Cheap and affordable. I’m tired of always buying LMNT. It’s getting expensive for that brand
Thank you for the suggestion
What I do is I mix up a pitcher for the fridge and add flavors to my shaker bottle. Flavored energy drops are my go-to for this recipe. I also use a magnesium complex so I get all forms of magnesium.
Thank you for this info, it helped me procure supplies and make my own electrolytes.
My calculations matched yours for the Sodium and Pottasium salts, but the Magnesium Malate varies.
The Magnesium yield on the website food label, was different than the bag I received.
For anyone making their own, be sure to check the stated magnesium yield - on the bag you receive.
Very informative and impressive content! New Sub!😋🤗😇
This was way too salty for my taste, which is why I don't like LMNT. I only used half the salt with the stated amt of pot and mag and it was much more tolerable. I use salt with my meals so I am still getting the proper amt of salt. Since I don't do sweaty workouts I don't see the need for so much salt. I really listen to my body for what I need. Thank you so much for your time on this recipe. Be healthy, stay safe and many blessings, Morgan from Colorado
Wow!! I can't justify purchasing lmnt. This is fantastic! Thank you.
Amazing video! Thank you so mych
This is great and I’m definitely going to make it. Another recipe that benefits you greatly is
Bioplasma (hylands or any brands), kefir or acidophilus bifidus 1/4 cup, fresh lemon/ lime juice 1/4-1/2 cup, Celtic or soma salt or Himalayan salt. ( can add coconut water/ milk too), potassium s as well or cream of Tartar but the bioplasma will do honestly.
Awesome job explaining everything. Good job, keep up the hard work.
I loved this video, thanks heaps😊
Thank you for the great video and detailed description of how you worked out the quantities.
Use caution. I was doing the same thing only using tiny spoons to dip each one out per serving. I also added taurine to mine at about 2 grams as well as creatine at 3 grams. The taurine and potassium are in identical packages and one day I mistook the potassium for the taurine and gave my self a 2 gram dose of potassium. My kidneys did not like that and it took me about 3 weeks to get over it.
Mixing it like you did, all in one batch, would prevent something like that from happening. Great idea and I will be doing that today. Thanks again.
I do similar mixing, but I use completely different pots for everything, each with their own size measuring spoon inside.
There are actually stories of batch mixing going wrong; you do it on one day then consume it over subsequent days, with no idea what you previously did. If batch mixing did go wrong, you are going to extend the amount of time you consume that bad batch.
Then you need to consider if the mixed powders really did mix, and also consider that mixed powders of different densities will over time separate; the larger granules will rise to the top of the powder, so you need to thoroughly shake each time used.
Personally, I think batch mixing is more risky, and I will stick with using individual pots/spoons.
@neahsway Thank you for this. You have saved me a ton of money and I really appreciate it. To anyone wanting to add flavor, and if you have a source for doTerra essential citrus oils, you can use them for flavor and they will not impact your insulin response. Plus, they are good for you in many other ways. I would NOT use other brands internally though as they are not Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade.
Thanks for the video!
Ty for doing this I am going to try this
Awesome!
This was a great video and I just Subscribed to your channel👍 I've been meaning to start making my own for a while, at $45 a month LMNT starts to get a bit pricey.
Also I was thinking of making a small batch, but also adding in black pepper and some other herbs for an "electrolyte" seasoning for my meats 🙂
That's a cool idea!
This is amazing, LMNT is crazy expensive in Spain. Thank you!
Very convincing, thank you!
Brilliant, tysm 🙂
💚 Thank you for doing this science lesson for us..what a huge cost difference (of course!)I'vebeen drinkingRedmonds ReLyte for over a year...., but I'd definitely like to make my own, and now know how to do it 😊💚
You're welcome! ❤️
Thank you for this. So helpful. For flavor I use 4 packets of Tru Lemon water enhancer from Amazon and a stevia allulose mix with electrolytes in 32 oz water.
Very nice!
I like LMNT because it is an easy way to add electrolytes when you're changing your diet away from processed foods which already contain so much of these minerals.
The video where I learned about LMNT offered a discount on their sampler pack, but I didn't want any of the added flavors so I just got a box of their unflavored packets.
As it is, I only use it if I wake up with my legs cramping or something like that, which happened occasionally as I transitioned to Carnivore.
I still have a lot of my original order, so I don't see the need to make my own yet, but it's nice to know that I can.
Thank you very much!
