On the Magnesium calculation- the jar label now shows 420mg/2g serving. 178 servings x 60mg from LMNT label = 10,680mg required. 10,680/420 = 25.4 servings or 50.9g Mg Malate powder. You show 68.7g at 0:45 . What am I missing?

This is from the LMNT website: 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) For more homemade electrolyte recipes, check out The Best Homemade Electrolyte Drink for Dehydration (All Natural Ingredients)
Thank you for compiling this. Could you please confirm if the recipe is as follows? Thoroughly mix the following ingredients: 452g Sea Salt 68.7g Magnesium Malate 68g Potassium Chloride The recommended serving size is 3.3g of the final mixture.
This is awesome, thanks for making this and including links. Just curious, how did you decide on where to source the supplemental KCl and Mg Malate? I've been mulling around making my own LMNT, but I am worried that I'll purchase subpar supplements. Thanks again for putting this together!
good idea, but mixing dry ingredients of different MW, etc, will not give a uniform dose each time, no mater how much you shake it. A liquid concentrate would be more reliable. Or add each powder separately to your water.
Thank you for the video but- am I missing something? The recipe on the LMNT website uses a salt to magnesium malate to potassium chloride ratio of 1:0.252:0.171 whereas this video is using the ratio 1:0.152:0.150 On the LMNT website the recipe is: -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 Using a scale I converted the two volume measurements to grams as precisely as possible and got these values (using the magnesium malate and potassium chloride products in this video but a different salt) -2.34 grams salt -.4 grams potassium chloride -.59 grams magnesium malate Scaled down, the recipe in this video comes out to -2.34 grams of salt -0.352 grams of potassium chloride -0.356 grams of magnesium malate
Fun! Ok so their teaspoon-based recipe looks pretty good but it isn't perfect (probably because they simplified it to use teaspoons): There are 1.15 grams of sodium in a half teaspoon of sodium chloride, 308 mg of potassium in 400 mg of potassium chloride, and 69 milligrams of magnesium in a 1/4 teaspoon of magnesium malate. If you divide those values by 1.15 to base the ratios on 1 gram of sodium, you'll get 268 mg Potassium, and 60 mg of Magnesium. It actually has more Potassium than their stated formula which explains why you got a higher Potassium value. But it's pretty close. Definitely close enough for the health benefits. If I take the scaled down calculation of my recipe you shared, you'll find it's very accurate. I'll show you: The weight by mass of Mg in Mg Malate is about 15.5%. The weight by mass of Potassium in Potassium Chloride is 52.4%. The weight by mass of Sodium in Sodium Chloride is about 39.3%. It follows that my recipe has 55 mg of Mg from 356 mg Mg Malate, 184 mg K from 352 mg KCl, and 916 mg of Na from 2.34 g NaCl. If we proportion this ratio to 1 gram of Sodium, you'll find that my ratios are equivalent to: 1 g Sodium 60 mg Magnesium 201 mg Potassium The LMNT formula. Brilliant!^^ I also believe you made a small error when you "scaled down" their recipe. Here's the calculation with the ratio you shared: Your recipe has 100 mg of Mg from 590 mg Mg Malate, 210 mg K from 400 mg KCl, and 916 mg of Na from 2.34 g NaCl. If we proportion this ratio to 1 gram of Sodium, you'll find that your ratios are equivalent to: 1 g Sodium 90 mg Magnesium 229 mg Potassium --- Ok, so now you can confidently follow my recipe, and hopefully subscribe because this was fun! Also, for what it's worth, I recently got my blood work done and my potassium level was optimal. I drink this "LMNT" home recipe a few times per week but not daily. I actually wouldn't recommend daily use. It's best on days where you feel dehydrated or want to perform optimally at sports or in the gym.
@@drmilesaronCurious what you think dosage is good for summer cycling in heat, I ride every other day usually 3-4 hours and lift weights before each ride for reference. Of course it's individually determined by biological efficiency of electrolytes and daily weather but is one dose per bottle a good starting point? Currently just add salt and mag and cal and eat calories, also what about calcium to optimize mix? Thank you for the detailed video, and calculations.
Does shaking it make the mixture fairly homogenous? I'm worried the different particle sizes might mean any one dose might not necessarily have proportions matching the overall mixture.
If you shake it with one side up you get separation, don't do that. Use a better container then this guy lol. You might also just use a grinder to make comparable grain size if needed, helps with dissolving too.
I LOVE their watermelon salt flavor, but I only bought LMNT once to try it. There is no way in HELL I am going to pay that much for drinks though. Would love to have a good knock off recipe to make my own watermelon salt "LMNT" at home.
THank you for the video. I love LMNT (we sell it at the independent pharmacy I work at and even with my employee discount it is still very expensive. Do you have any suggestion for flavorings (no sweeteners or artificial bad stuff?). Would a squeeze of lime change the effectiveness of this mix?
You can 100% add juice and most other sweeteners without any issues. Another common formulation (LiquidIV) also adds sugars in the form of glucose, which can be helpful for extra long-distance runners and other intense athletes. I'd probably recommend against artificial sweeteners like Acesulfame K and Sucralose and would opt for natural, lower glycemic index options like Monk Fruit Extract, Agave and Stevia. Thanks for watching and feel free to ask any more questions!
@drmilesaron What is the recipe for a single serving with everything measured out in grams? I did some math and got this (rounded to the nearest tenth): - 2.5 grams of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) - 0.4 grams of Magnesium Malate - 0.4 grams of Potassium Chloride (KCl) Does that look correct to you?
What are the measurements in the spoons ( 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 tsp. ) that you are using for each one? The only could be measured is the salt because it is in grams. Please helps us out!!!
That's up to you! I used to use a food scale to measure it every time I use it, but honestly 2 pinches in a glass of water is pretty close to the 3.3g and it doesn't take much in the way of extra electrolytes to get the physiological benefit. Just make sure you don't over do it.
I love the flavors tho; when I’m really craving salt, those flavored lmnt’s hit like dessert 🤤 I’m wondering if I could add a bit of unsweetened Kool-Aid mix to this? 🤔
Human kidneys are very good at regulating chloride so if your organs are working fine, it should be fine. I drink this a few times per week and my blood work came back pretty optimal. That being said, it's important to drink lots of water when you up your electrolytes. Also, drinks like this aren't meant for daily use but can be used on an as-needed base to improve hydration, especially around periods of intense exertion/sports. I'm not a (medical) doctor, so please take that with a grain of...
Could you add watermelon powder (or other flavored power? for flavor or citric acid ( I saw this on LMNT website? And what ratio would you recommend for this recipe?
Hey glad to hear that you liked it, thanks! Be SUPER careful not to use too much Potassium Chloride in your mix. It can be deadly to ingest the wrong amount. If you aren't confident in the ratios, you can leave out the KCl and still get benefits from the other electrolytes without that risk. To do this safely on your own, you must use a scale to weigh the ingredients as I did. If you are not confident in chemistry to calculate on your own, please either use the exact products and measurements from my video, or stay on the safe-side and buy it pre-made. The recipe in this video makes a TON. I still have so much left and use it pretty regularly. It's honestly not something you want to take EVERY day, so even though it says half year supply in the video, it should easily last a year with regular use. Drink a lot of water for the best experience!
@@drmilesaron Even if you use a scale to measure everything correctly, how do you guarantee that there isn't more potassium chloride in one "scoop" of mixed product?
I have been making this for 3 years now and I add it to my water 2x a day. I have been fine. My electrolytes in my bloodwork come out great every time. I make them individually and follow the recommended doses on the packaging for the potassium chloride 1/8 of a tsp. I do not add flavor or sugar of any kind.
Nice! Do you workout a lot? Asking because I'm wondering if you feel otherwise dehydrated from water loss. I've found that I don't like to use it daily because I am thoroughly salted through my food, but I like to take it maybe 1-2X/week for hard workouts or if I'm feeling particularly in need of hydration. Plus, call me crazy, but I kind of like the flavor. Recently, I'll even just put a pinch directly on my tongue and wash it down with water. It's intense but wakes you up!
@drmilesaron I'm confused about how you came to the 3.3 grams per serving. I made 200 servings based on the original LMNT recipe and the total came out to 292 grams. The ratio is 1 g salt / 400 mg potassium / 60 mg magnesium. Dividing that by 200 I get 1.46 grams per serving. What am I missing?
In order to get 1g of sodium you need a higher amount of sodium chloride (salt) salt is not entirely sodium rather a 1:1 ratio sodium and chloride and especially salts like Himalayan salts contain additional minerals which will call for a higher amount of salt to achieve a 1g sodium dose
@@TastyJammz No because one gram of salt is about half a teaspoon, which is what he said he used. So like my original comment said his or your math ain’t mathin lolol. I use their original recipe, I know how to make it 🤣🤣🤣
Anyone know how to sweeten it for the kiddoes. Should I just add more sugar substitute? I used Allulose for sweetener but, it wasn't enough. It's still a little salty
Note that when you calculate the ratios you have to consider that the electrolyte elements are part of a salt that has other atoms in the molecule (e.g. when you calculate sodium it is part of the sodium chloride ion so you must account for the chloride to get the right amount)
Thank you for the video. I love LMNT, but it is so expensive. Do you have any suggestions on adding flavorings? I love the citrus. Would a squeeze of lime alter the effectiveness of this mixture?
I'm making my version of this as soon as my ingredients arrive. I ordered fruit powder from Amazon. You won't need much and much better than "natural flavors" as it's actually natural fruit that has been dehydrated and made into a powder. In my opinion, it's a much better option for flavoring!
There are a few magnesium options for sure. In the case of electrolytes, it won't matter, but for other uses, depending on personal needs, you could make that case. This was about recreating LMNT which uses mg malate.
I'm not sure what you are reading but I just checked the ingredients on the LMNT website and they specify Potassium Chloride. In either case, they are pretty interchangeable here because it's the Potassium you're after.

get a food scale like he recommends. easy to measure what a gram is. Grams are used on a TON of our food packaging here in the US also, especially when it comes to serving sizes.
I'm certainly no authority on this, but I believe potassium chloride is chosen for the electrolytes, where as potassium citrate is typically used to treat kidney stones.
Does this stay mixed up? Do you not have to worry about different minerals settling differently? Shake every couple of days? How big is a lmnt serving?
One gram of sodium is very, very small....especially if you work hard, sweat hard and treat your body well. Most folks are fat and out of balance, so ya, salt can be a bad thing....for many, many, many!
