      @motivationphysicaltheraphy I saw a different content provider say that we need 4700 mg of potassium each day. What do you think about that? I buy the potassium in a bulk bag like you have and I weigh 4700 mg with a scale. I add a little water in my mouth and toss n wash the potassium with more water.

      @@AlbesiLent the National Institutes of Health recommends 2,600mg/day of Potassium for Women 19+ and 3,400mg/day for men of the same age range. The best way to know if you are getting enough is through blood analysis. Some people need more and others less. Supplementation in high amounts like that can be dangerous without seeing how your body reacts to it (ideally through blood work).

    Why magnesium & potassium chlorides? Why not Potassium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate which seem to be better absorbed and utilized.

    • @motivationhw
      @motivationhw  11 місяців тому +4

      This is a great question! I chose magnesium chloride because of the effects that It has on the body (raises blood magnesium levels). This allows the body to readily use magnesium for all metabolic needs. Magnesium glycinate may be more absorbable, but has been found to have a primary calming and relaxing effect on the body. I do not need to be more relaxed throughout the day or I'll have trouble staying awake lol night time would be great to hydrate with a magnesium glycinate mix instead of the magnesium chloride. I find it very easy to fall asleep at night so I don't feel it necessary to make two separate batches for the different purposes.
      As far as the potassium chloride, like magnesium chloride, I use it to raise overall blood potassium levels. I found it has worked for me. I recognize that everyone is different so you have to do what you feel works best for you.
      As always having blood work and doing this under a medical doctor is the best advice I have so they can monitor system function while you make changes to make sure nothing goes the wrong direction on you!

    Use caution with Potassium.
    Back in Oct of 2023 I mixed my potassium and taurine up because they are in the same shape, size and color container and I was talking too much when dispensing them.
    I got a 2 gram scoop of potassium instead of Taurine. It almost killed me and took about 6 weeks to recover from.

      This is good advice! I will add that too much of any supplement can cause a critical state. It is important for anyone to know what their blood levels are prior to supplementation. If you don't know what the levels are, then it may be harmful to take more of something that you don't need.

    EXCELLENT VIDEO *YES LMNT is crazy ridiculous exspensive.* I HAVE BEEN makING my own. I figured this out when I got the first box of it. Now my cost is Under .20cents per The most exspesive part is the "True lime"... which is around .5 cents/pack. I bought the 500 packet box for 25.00. larger qty better pricing. They do make other flavors as well. Excellent video. iS $1.50 PER PACKET FOR lmnt RIDICULOUS?

    I’ve tried doing this. I seem to always experience odd symptoms when attempting an LMNT alternative. To the point of frank dehydration when taking electrolyte drinks. However I don’t experience the same thing when I quickly drinking 1/4 teaspoon of salt on its own and following it up with plain water. In fact it improves my workouts like how LMNT claims it can.
    Idk what I’m doing wrong. I suspect it’s actually nothing to do with the drink but something else I’m doing. I read that zinc can disrupt sodium potassium balance. Been taking Thornes trace minerals with zinc in it. Gonna stop and see if I can improve my hydration.

    • @motivationhw
      @motivationhw  Рік тому +5

      I am definitely not an expert on this topic as there could be many different diet factors playing a role. The thoughts that come to mind are the type of supplements you are choosing to put in your DIY drink compared to what LMNT puts in theirs. I have had the same results with the Pink Salt, Potassium Chloride, and Magnesium Chloride for myself, but there are different supplement forms that may impact your body differently. Also, I've come across information that adding a form of calcium with your electrolyte drink is also important to prevent the drop of calcium. However, I am not confident in pushing that without further research. This video was mainly to just provide an option for people to save money and still get the same dosage of electrolytes that LMNT recommends without the Natural Flavors and Sugars.

    Not attempting to sew concern or be disparaging to any particular ingredient here, but has anyone else heard:
    _Himalayan Pink salts can have mercury in them?_
    These are not my own words, but are Gary Breka's own words. I currently use Redmonds, but would like to use Himalayan salt instead. But I have know way to determine the mercury content belief of experts in this arena.
    My body has plenty of toxins already, so I'm on a long & arduous journey to attempt to rid it of many bad things, including lead. So I am just trying to get to the truth about which of these pink salts, or brands, are the ones that unfortunately contain mercury, as per an expert in area of conversation.
    Any help or advice on this is appreciated 🙏.

    • @motivationhw
      @motivationhw  11 місяців тому +2

      I have not heard that. This is the way I look at supplements - if I trust the brand, then I go with that option until I learn otherwise. Himalayan Pink Salt is that brand for me, although I may need to dig deeper now that you bring this to my attention. I've heard good things about Redmond as well.
      The difficulty is that it may be impossible to have everything perfect in every purchased bag, so worrying too deeply about trace amounts may also be harmful to you. Especially if that is done for everything you put in your body. I am an advocate of being aware and I think everyone should be aware of what they consume (like you are). We can help make a healthier world by talking and researching our foods, drinks, supplements, etc.! I appreciate you commenting on this topic.

      @@motivationhw I agree with everything you say.
      Breka himself, prefers Celtic salt, as he claims its safe from mercury, for some reason I am not privileged to. I would prefer Himalayan pink salt as well. Supposedly those sources are often very close to natural mercury veins.
      Redmond is a supposedly Virgin & undisturbed vein, far from historical contamination,
      (like for example, Silicon Valley soils & water, & ex Motorola facilities in PHX, both highly contam from semi- conductor industry)
      that is supposedly very clean of other unwanted & harmful - natural, & man bio-infused trace elements, in the periodic table. I would not probably care either, as you said yourself, from bag to bag, if I didn't ALREADY have several different chemicals I worked with for decades, still trapped inside my body causing me irreparable grief. That only why I asked. If you don't know who Gary Breka is, you would be wise to look into him, even more so than the salt contamination itself. I cannot afford him, nor can I travel to his practice, that's 1000 mi away. Or I'd already be there till as long as it took to help heal. I'm on my own. Doctors here no nothing in my very rural area. Except they all seem to be experts at prescribing (lifetime) medications, for literally everything, down to things like blinking 1 or 2 many times per minute (sarcasm).
      Thks for the thorough & thoughtful response. I wish I was near you as well. I appreciated your video, & response. My goal is to be off all the Doctors _"cures"_ by end of '24, but 1 or 2 might still be required to survive.
