Most Electrolyte Powders Are Missing This Critical Nutrient (But Cost More)
Many popular electrolytes cost more than $40 per month but don't offer much in terms of minerals outside of salt and are devoid of creatine.

I live in New Zealand and ordered the NAC glycine and it just recently arrived with no issues (and is delicious!). Seriously thinking about getting the electrolytes too. Love that it has creatine in it!
Thanks for all you do! I want to say that I have tried your electrolyte mix and it is truly one of the best products out there! You did accidentally inspire me to concoct my own recipe for an electrolyte drink. The recipe is: 8 oz filtered water 2 turns of a sea salt grinder 1/2 lemon squeezed juice 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar 5g glycine powder 5g creatine powder 1g potassium gluconate powder 1g Magnesium (magnesium lysinate glycinate chelate) powder I haven't figured out the exact cost of this per serving, but I imagine it's more than the MYOXCIENCE ones. This recipe takes a bit of prep and shopping which is the slight downside to having a ready to go pack like your product.
Been using these since you released them. I can tell you they’re amazing! No more muscle cramps. Plus the service I have received is above and beyond. Thanks for an amazing product.

1) The element sodium (Na+) is the very same whether in ancient (vs. "recent?") "salt" regardless of origin, i.e. ocean vs Morton's table salt. The essential difference between "ancient ocean" (or "Himalayan" salt, e.g) vs. commercial table salt is the presence (ocean/Himalayan) or absence (table) of other elements - which are always ASSUMED to be beneficial and in proper amounts. 2) If one's sodium intake is from "salt" (i.e. sodium chloride) then the intake of 1000mg of "sodium" (second column, "popular electrolytes") MUST also contain 1500mg of chloride, NOT zero as erroneously stated.

Correct. The other drink company's ingredient is listed as Sodium Chloride. Also, the other drink company purposely did not add calcium because that company is concerned about the studies showing supplemental calcium and the possibility of calcification of the tissues or blood vessels.

1000% agree. This needs to go Viral ! Sodium / potassium / magnesium "Balance" very important. Sodium is cheap and easy from good quality salt we place on the food, doesn't need to be high in our electrolyte drinks, not do we want it high in the electrolyte drinks. Yes, many of the high fat or high protein diets missing Calcium. Yes, Creatine not just athletes but also for Grandma and cognitive support. Unfortunately, we live in a world of "marketing". Some other brands have become famous but not the best option. Similar to McDonalds, marketing and big sales, but not the best quality meat.

Isn’t the sweat content about a ratio in estimated 4:1, sodium to potassium (at least according to Dr Andy galpin)! So I have a selfmade Sportsdrink higher in sodium and less in potassium (with some mg and honey for glucose) while doing sports! My drink outside sports activity, is turned around with a turned potassium / sodium ratio (more potassium and less sodium)
Your body doesn't know from fancy salt. But for at least 30 years, WHO has published a rehydration mix formula, often mixed in the field for dysentery victims and other serious issues. Right now the only question is how much sugar is or isn't needed to get it absorbed quickly. Creatine? Proteins? Have their purposes, but that's not the task of electrolyte hydration mixes. And the WHO mix is also dirt cheap. Ten bucks will make somerhing like 100 gallons, all from supermarket products.

Hi Mike. I'm curious about the recommended daily intake of Potassium, around 4.6 grams. I've always thought it seems high and difficult to achieve for most people even with a good diet, and your product only provides one tenth of that. What are your thoughts?
@fumbelstiltskin4250

Will take a stab at this... First, most electrolyte products are designed as a supplement -- as such, it isn't meant to provide 100% of a particular ingredient's RDA. A seller of such has to expect that you are getting additional amounts from your daily food consumption, as well as from other vitamins, supplements, prescription medications, etc. More importantly, having too much potassium in your blood can be dangerous. Potassium affects the way your heart muscle works. When you have too much potassium, your heart may beat irregularly, which in the worst cases can cause heart attack. Also keep in mind that everyone's metabolism is different. Some people have undiagnosed impaired kidney function, which increases the chance of sodium/potassium imbalance. It's always a good idea to check with your primary care physician before starting any supplement (including discussion of whether baseline and periodic bloodwork is recommended).
Anyone know is LMNT is okay?
Not sure if it is enough or not, but you can get ~400mg potassium /100g of beef. (edit: which is more than you get from 100g of banana)

@@defeqel6537 modern greens are lower in all micronutrients compared to even just 100 years ago due to industrial Ag that relies on petroleum based inputs. Basically we ruined our soil with factory farming methods. That's one reason why 10g seems so unobtainable today. Another reason is we started eating lower quality cuts of meat that have been bled off of all their liquids and we don't consume the blood as blood sausage or blood pudding anymore, and we don't recapture the liquids lost during cooking by deglazing the pan and making gravies and sauces anymore. Potassium is an obligate component of muscle tissue, so animal products are actually quite high in potassium if you don't waste the juices.

pure aminos can higher your insulin quite a lot. And when you have too much aminos / proteins your body can use them to create energy. So on a fast i would rather recommend whole proteins which is analog to long chain starches vs monosugar. Also you shouldn't have too much at once but I don't onow how much is too much.
