Girl, put a lid on that container and SHAKE IT !! LOL
They are super overpriced and that's an issue. It's almost unethical how expensive LMNT and Liquid IV are. I bought once to try formula and will make myself from here on. A month supply should like $5 not $30. I don't mind paying a little extra for pre-made but it's wayyyyyyyy to far off a fair price. Sorry LMNT
@Ben... agreed. They are being greedy unnecessarily PLUS Stevia is used in the flavored mixes! Stevia is a known CONTRACEPTIVE!
The problem with home electrolyte mixes is that it's very hard to be sure your mixture is hasn't settled and isn't uneven.
I went to order and I agree, way over priced.
Yeah it’s more like $45 for a month.

This is exactly the video I’ve been wanting and needing!! 💗
Thank you, Jackie! It was so nice of you to do this video.
Thank you…this is great info…I’ve learned so much from your channel ❤ And I just got my LMNT order in the mail yesterday with the free sample packs…truly a great offer!
I will be making this. My blood pressure is on the low end of normal. When I fast, my BP will sometimes get lower and trigger a migraine for me. Once I'm in a migraine, I'm having it for a day at least. This has been an issue that has kept me from being consistent with fasting.
Do you own research. There is a difference between Potassium Chloride and Potassium Citrate. Getting levels of potassium out of balance in your body can lead to negative outcomes ie. blood pressure changes, diarrhea, etc.
I'm new to this, and want to make the homemade mix .... but which Potassium should I be using? The chloride or the citrate? Thanks for any info! (I've also been trying to do my own research, but still have not found a clear answer, honestly)
@@marieteresa2781 chloride seems to be the one LMNT refers to most of the time.
@@camillemarie3 Per LMNT's site: Here’s how to make a “Raw Unflavored” base:
½ teaspoon salt (provides ~1 g sodium)
500 mg potassium citrate powder (provides ~200 mg potassium)
¼ teaspoon of magnesium malate (provides ~60 mg magnesium)
Why did you pick Magnesium Malate instead of Magnesium glycinate? Why Potassium citrate instead of Pot cloride? Different elements that impact the body and organs differently
I see a variance also. Magnesium Malate is the recommended type, but potassium chloride is listed on LMNT website.. not Potassium citrate 🤔
Glycinate is the better one
Thank you for this video! I am salt sensitive so having the ability to personalize to my needs is great!
🌟Thanks for demonstrating Jackie!
The ELMT packets would be very handy to have if you are traveling by plane instead of a ziplock bag of “white powdered substance” that would catch the attention of the TSA or DEA.
It didn't when my husband traveled from FL to CA 2 wks ago... I Ziplocked his Potassium powder & separate pink salt & he had no problem whatsoever. I can't say it wouldn't be an issue anywhere else tho ??
Yess I got mine in the mail just yesterday!!!! Having a citrus salt when i break my fast today!🥰
Thanks, Fasting Friend Jackie! 🥰
I would definitely swap out that refined Mortons salt for Redmond Salt or similar.
Pink is best salt
@@rikstar. I agree, I wouldn't use it either and I bought Hain's iodized sea salt & happened to look at ingred. and it has DEXTROSE in it and non caking agents 😬. I haven't used it since. *Read all labels of everything*
Well Done !! Thank you for taking the time to make this great and simple to the point video !! Stay safe !! 🙂🙃🙂😎😎😎
I will say though, you should switch to Redmond real salt because it is sea salt but from an underground ocean in Utah. The problem with normal sea salt is microplastics in the ocean do to human pollution
Thank you for doing this. I have been using the raw LMNT for over a year and had no idea they posted the recipe. Good option.
LMNT even posts a recipe on their website so you can do it yourself if you don't want to keep buying it through them. Amazing company
Does the raw LMNT have no artificial flavours? Apparently the other LMNT have flavours and can break the fast
This was awesome thanks so much 💪🏾💯
PERFECT recipe! I usually order the Sports Electrolyte 100 servings by Dr. Berg but, man, can it get pricey. My hubby and I both use electrolytes daily. When we don't order on time we find ourselves scrambling to order asap and then we have to wait for the order missing our daily electrolyte dose (leg cramps). I really like this DIY recipe. Im ordering the ingredients rather than another product. I'm getting more for my money and feeling more self-sufficient! Thanks!
Hi Jackie, been learning from you for several months now. The cramping I experienced was so awful. Thank you so much for this video. I am excited to try it. Question for you do you think the tiny liquid stevia flavors (chocolate) will be good to add? I think I’m gonna try it. I’m searching for the rest these ingredients in my amazon right now.
This is really awesome, thanks for posting! I’m definitely going to use this. Liquid IV was recommended by my doctor to help regulate my sugar/electrolytes during workouts - it works great and let me get back in the gym a couple of years ago, but the cost is really prohibitive. I’m definitely gonna try this!
Element is expensive, maybe good , but not all can afford it.. thank you for the video
Thank you so much!
I have great respect for you doing this video. Classy thing to do.
Thank You!
Awesome ordered supplies to make and some flavoured to try. Love this lifestyle❤ thank you for all you do!
I subscribe to LMNT through Amazon, but sometimes I like a little more in my day, so i run short. I mixed up your recipe and added a couple tsp if lime juice and a few drops of stevia. Its going to come in handy! It's tireing to make it by the glass every day! Thank you for the bulk recipe.
Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for the instruction - it really is the only way to do this - the ready made products are all way to expensive - I’m gonna add some flavour powder and it’s done
LMNT is great, especially the flavored ones as mentioned. I just wish they had the option of a bulk bag with a scoop measured for average sized water bottles. A stick makes 20 ounces of water way too salty and trying to split is is not super convenient. So either a bulk tub or smaller sticks… I prefer the bulk tub/pack to reduce packaging.
Love this option❤😊
Any reason why using Redmond real salt wouldn’t be a good idea since you specifically stated sea salt?
Exactly the recipe I was looking for. I have been wanting to try LMNT, but am trying to keep a lower budget.
The thing I DON'T like about LMNT is that they use Stevia for the flavored ones! How the world doesn't know that Stevia is a known contraceptive is beyond me! Was used in places like Uganda back in the 70's for BIRTH CONTROL. Make your own for sure! :)
Wow! Did not know that about stevia. Thanks for sharing 🙌
thank you! question: with your mix is it 1/4 teaspoon to 16 oz of liquid?
Thanks for sharing. Definitely will try this.
Thank you
Do you ever put MCT in your coffee and if so during fasting or in your eating window like the flavored electrolytes in sparkling water?
Can’t imagine the ratios are consistent just stirring it
Definitely not probably got a mouthful off salt 😂
I would measure out each ingredient in separate bowls; then in a really big container, I’d start adding salt, magnesium, potassium, repeating, most likely ending up with salt. Then stir a bit and finally shake really well. I think over the course of a week, every ingredient would balance out to the right proportion. I don’t think you need to worry about exactness. I think this video is GREAT - just what I was looking for!!
Do you fast when you have your monthly cycle and what do you recommend? 🙂
pink himalayan salt is a much better choice. many more minerals, and most salt now has microplastics.
So I couldn't find magnesium malate by itself. I found a powder capsule that is magnesium citrate, oxide. And malate all other one. Based on your knowledge is it ok to use that instead?
I see you are not using the iodized sea salt. Is is okay to use iodized sea salt or should we stick to no iodide?
I've seen other recipes that call for magnesium glycinate. What's the difference as far as this is concerned?
What I don’t understand is that you keep saying potassium citrate and the LMNT site says potassium chloride. Which is it? Thank you for your help with this recipe, I just want to make sure I get it right because I am very sensitive to citric acid.
You’re not the first to ask this! I honestly don’t know the difference; I used this part of their website. I need to inquire about the discrepancy because yes as you mentioned they have it two ways on their website (which I didn’t know when making this video)
First FAQ:
drinklmnt.com/pages/faq
I was hoping you can help me. On LMTV web page on how to make LMNT at home it states to use potassium citrate but then if you look at the ingredients on the back of their individual packets it says potassium chloride. these are 2 different types of potassium enough so that they can not be interchanged???????????????????????????
When you hold up the jar of magnesium malate in front of the camera, you don’t hold it still and it’s very blurry so it’s hard to read the label.
I'm going to try the unflavored in iced coffee soon, it sounds a little scary but I'll take your advice! Also, LMNT has that chocolate flavor and I think that would be good in iced coffee too! I'm going to try that one right now!
The chocolate is delicious in hot coffee too!
@@suewinter3693 ohhhh I might have to just order more of the chocolate! 🍫
@Bok Choy how do you prepare it?
How many grams of magnesium and salt? Thank you.
Thanks for the info. I love watching your videos; you are so down-to-earth. Sometimes you crack me up. My favorite LMNT flavor is watermelon, but I do find the flavors to be too sweet for the amount of water it calls for. I need to try the unflavored. Chocolate in hot coffee tastes DELICIOUS.
I feel great fasting too.
Thank you😍Is it possible to take 50%of potassium chloride and 50%of pot citrate?
On the website I see both potassium citrate and chloride
So which is correct
Many questions on how many cups per how many teaspoons you put in your coffee???
Do you need to do electrolytes on low carb at 30-50 carbs per day
Will the flavored packets break a fast? I was reading the ingredients on the (LMNT) web site, the highest calories on most packets is 10, though a low caloric count, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't 10 calories and/or more break a fast??
What is the brand of scale do you have? I have two scales but neither weigh in grams. TIA
Thanks for sharing the recipe! This would save a lot of money I’m sure
By using a flavored water enhancer like mio you can flavor your plain electrolytes if you ever wanted to add flavor during your eating window
Can I use mio energy or Mio with vitamins during a fast?
that's a great idea and saves so much money. I really love LMNT but only order it once in a while since it is a bit pricey.
@@MarcellinaMoon me too, I truly can't afford it.
@@healthhollow7218 Since mio has flavors and artificial sweeteners it would technically break your fast assuming you are “clean fasting”
@@jessiel7694 well I usually just fast without any sweeteners (artificial or not). I drink a lot of seltzer water like Buble and polar, unsweetened tea, black coffee but those are getting kind of stale 😞 I would love to use mio because it tastes so good but not if it breaks my fast for sure. I appreciate you letting me know! 😊🙏
Want to make your own electrolyte drink mix at home with LMNT ratios?
Here’s how to make a “Raw Unflavored” base:
½ teaspoon salt (provides ~1 g sodium)
500 mg potassium citrate powder (provides ~200 mg potassium)
¼ teaspoon of magnesium malate (provides ~60 mg magnesium)
This is from LMNT FAQ page and there is a link to more recipes
How many teaspoons do you put in the drink?
I drink it once a day and works perfect for me.
LMNT
How do you make the flavored ones?
Can I make this using pink Himalayan salt instead?
Thanks for sharing....👍
Very helpful video. I think maybe the ratios are off? I’ll buy all these things and make my own.
Do a video, i wanna see
What about magnesium chloride, potassium chloride and Celtic sea salt?
I actually really love the chocolate, but it doesn't disolve well, so I have to keep stiring it everytime I want to drink.
I personally found this recipe really confusing. Switching between grams, teaspoons, and cups just blows my mind. I spent half an hour sorting out the recipe. I came to the conclusion that your recipe should have weighed 181.44 grams. I looked at the LMNT packages on their website and concluded that 50 servings would have 50 grams salt, 10 grams potassium, and 3 grams magnesium. This is where we have a nice round number for milligrams for each of the 3 minerals. The homemade recipe is much cheaper. You go from $1.30 to $0.07 per serving. The only difference is that you lose 4.72 grams of citric acid, stevia leaf extract, and natural flavours.
What amount is measured for a single serving in your example
I totally agree with you @arpadcsorba2053 - should been grams all the way (accurate way of measuring) and pressing the tare button would have helped too. Just saying.
@@carolhopetyler2178When I added 50 + 10 + 3 = 63 then divide by 50, I got 1.26 grams per serving. Like the above comment mentioned, this is plain without any flavor, acid or sweetener added. I like it this war, so that I can jazz it up the way that I want to! 😍
Also, it measures out to about 1/4 cup, or about fifty 1/4 teaspoons. Hope this helps…
what is the ratio for 1 gallon of water?
The first time I did a 10 day fast I had to stop I felt terrible headaches and nausea and feeling dizzy and weakness I broke and after that I found out u have to have salt so I did it again this time with the recommended pink salt one time a day still non of the horrible symptoms will go away and I gave up after 12 days and the worst thing was my cravings were going crazy I was even dreaming about food lol so I really didn't get why long term fasting was working for everyone else but not me now I found out it was because I was not getting enough potassium I guess pink salt did not have enough of it but I'm not sure how much a day to take of pink salt ' sodium and potassium how much do u need a day in order not to get all the horrible side effects?
Darn I bought potassium chloride. Does it matter? I also bought magnesium glycinate. Now I'm wondering what to do because I bought them in a bulk bag.
Hi Jackie! I'm new to fasting and have a question: Is it better to have a shorter CLEAN fast or a longer DIRTY fast where I use flavor in water or flavored stevia in coffee? Thank you!
Hi … Gin Stephans would say you are not fasting if you are dirty fasting 😊😊
@@biggyziggy5777 ohhhhh touché! 😝🙈😭
How do you drink coffee on an empty stomach? It gives me pains
Great information and yes I’m doing this! Here’s my question. Does the brand of the Potassium Citrate and Magnesium Malate make a difference on the measurements? I’m noticing that different brands have different grams, etc. Example the magnesium malate I plan to order is 420 mg per 2 gram scoop. ??? Thank you in advance for any help with this.
YES! HUGE DIFFERENCE! You have to do the math- and you need to use the DENSITY of each ingredient to figure out the grams needed per serving.
Hi Jackie! Thank you for this. I made this and consumed my first glass on an empty stomach. Could it have caused diarrhea? Should I wait until a meal?
I really haven’t experienced that, I’m sorry!
Well it has a form of magnesium in it which when you’re not used to it can act like a laxative.. usually requires you to reduce the amount to a level that doesn’t bother you and then only gradually increase it.
How would you flavor Them or could you?
What about calcium?
And the electrolyte I bought has the following amount in one scoop it has. And you mix that with one cup of water. I drink 3 cups so 3 scoopful. There seem to be dietary guideline as to how much a person should have/drink or whatever.
Magnesium 60 mg
Potassium 500 mg
Sodium 5 mg
Chloride 9 mg
ConcenTrace, also called trace mineral complex. 50 mg.
Calcium 38 mg.
Does your set up provide all that. I suppose I can just add some Himalayan pink salt to mine to make up for the difference.
Hey Jackie! TY soooo much for this bulk LMNT recipe amount! *Is an individual serving 3/4 teaspoon? I think you said as much, but I only saw you add 1/2 tsp in your drink. haha! TY Beautiful! We are all learning so much about this lifestyle, through you.
It would be great if you answered this question. I want to know, too!
She did 3. There's a 1/4 tsp already in it when she cuts to tge clip and then she adds 2 more
@@danielvalenzuela4929 ty and can you refresh me...this was a while back...3 teaspoons? Also, I cannot find magneseum malate on amazon (just magneseum citrate). Do you think this can be subbed in? Thanks again so much!
@Zephyr OnFire 1/4 tsp. 3 times or if you have it one 3/4 teaspoon.
@@danielvalenzuela4929 aw, ty so much! Have a great evening! :)
8:40, that does make sense
Very interesting
Need 2 blend it together when making bulk, heavy salt with settle to bottom, that's why single doses is how it's sold. 😊
Pulse the salt in a coffee grinder and it will blend fine.
What is the Potassium citrate measurement in cups? I don't have a scale to measure grams
Its approximately 3 1/2 Tablespoons
It totally depends on the DENSITY!
Jackie, what’s the difference between potassium citrate and potassium chloride? LMNT’s ingredients list says potassium chloride.
Good point. Potassium chloride is better for increasing potassium. Potassium citrate is better for raising alkaline/lowering acid in in our PH.
I’ve written a letter asking LMNT to verify which Potassium supplement it is, and I’ll post the update here.
They use non-iodized Potassium Chloride…they have Potassium Citrate listed in their Homebrew recipe in the FAQs section because it’s not as readily available as Potassium Citrate.
@@mamabearzee1468 I’m not sure I understand. What does this mean?
@@Noclue0828 In the video, the recipe calls for Potassium Citrate, but online, the recipe is using Potassium Chloride in one section of their website and Potassium Citrate in another. I emailed to verify which one it is LMNT uses in their product, and it was non-iodized Potassium Chloride.
@@Noclue0828 it doesn't matter what form you use... many ppl are sensitive to citrus - I prefer Potassium Chloride
Fyi. Potassium chloride is better for increasing potassium. Potassium citrate is better for raising alkaline/lowering acid in in our PH.
I take magnesium citrate and riboflavin for preventing headaches/migraines already, and somewhat Intermittent fasting...wondering if anyone knows if this would still be okay to make with the magnesium malate too or if that would potentially be harmful/overdose? (Will ask my doctor next time I go in, but hoping others have insight.)
you do not want TOO much magnesium...
Can you do a week of only drinking the home made one and see if the benefits are the same.
Thank you for bringing this information to our attention. I think the plain with no flavor recipe is awesome. I do have one question are you concerned at all with the natural flavors that are appearing and popping up in just about everything in any given grocery store? Even the healthy things like this product contains natural flavors that are produced with many different chemicals. I'm also concerned because this is a billion dollar business if not more. Anything producing that amount of wealth is suspicious to me. Also since they are fairly new to the industry we don't yet know the possible side effects I mean I don't think any testing has been done. Thank you.
can I sub Magnesium chloride?
I have that spoon. Target
Can you do the flavored ones during your fasting window.
I don’t, I save those for the eating window which is when I generally take my lmnt
Hi there I noticed the website said potassium chloride and you say potassium citrate
This is so confusing. Are you saying 3/4 tea. 1/4 tea 3 times not measured perfectly.
You only showed adding 1/4 tea twice.
I'm one of the "old fashioned" type. I've been using NUUN from the the previous century, and it has about 6 different "elements".
I just checked the Morton lite salt I use during my fasting window and I see there's dextrose in it! 😭 I'll be making my own now!
I tried the lite salt but the iodine bothered me this way there is none.
I’ve also read where the salt companies put aluminum in to keep the salt fresh. Ugh I’ll see if I can research other salts and additives
LMNT is insanely expensive.
@@jcal2374 I know and honestly, it's worth it, it seemed expensive until I tried some now I'll never be without it!
my concern is that sodium is way out of balance with potassium
really the worst thing you could do is mix it with a dehydrater ( coffee)
how much L M N T is in a satchet, how much of the mix is the same?
About a TSP by weight.
I have a quick question Re: Potassium Citrate. I was reading through some comments on the Amazon link that recommended taking the potassium citrate with food. Obviously if you have been taking it during your fasting window, you are taking it on an empty stomach. I know you put it in your black coffee. Do you/did you have any issues with indigestion when first taking it?
I’m haven’t had any indigestion issues, but I don’t get that with foods either
I must have done it wrong because I ordered a box of raw and did not get the sample pack
I’m sorry! Did you use my link? If so, contact their customer service. I would imagine they’d make it right. I hear they have top notch customer service!
The ingredients on the package calls for potassium chloride not potassium citrate.
