Thank you for sharing. Very informative. I have sea salt but it says added "anti caking" agent, should i avoid using it because of anti caking agent in my foods/cookings?
Looking forward to making this. I ordered the magnesium glycinate using your link. It’s tablets, not capsules. So I had to return it, and ordered another brand that is capsules. Waiting for it to arrive.
Question. If I convert your recipe, you add 1 tablespoon OJ to 1 cup of water /electrolyte mixture. That will not taste a lot like orange drink. Do you mean use orange juice concentrate? Thanks!
As someone that is in the medical profession with a focus on nutrition and musculoskeletal wellness, I can say this woman has it right with not only the proper electrolytes that you don’t get in most sports drinks, but also the quality of the electrolytes themselves. Magnesium glycinate is the easiest and most readily available for the body to use and you don’t see many highlighting the importance of the quality of the electrolyte. Bravo 👏🏼
@@rozchristopherson648 no they won’t 🤦🏻♂️ your artery’s only clog if you’re doing something wrong trust me, look up darren shmidt on youtube he’s only a bit younger then you and will explain why a vegan/ high carb diet is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to yourself, honestly if you do everything the way you’re meant to you will not get clogged artery’s, most younger people agree with you trust me i am one, there are far more older people doing carnivore now who have done so for years saying they’re by far in the best condition of their lives, trust me also look at bart kat on youtube those two should be able to solve any of your questions
@@rozchristopherson648 hahaha veganism does not solve all gut issues, sure cutting out processed foods helps a lot but veganism is controlled malnutrition
@@rozchristopherson648 except for all the people it makes extremely sick and all the people that have had to stop doing vegan or they'd die. Or try explaining that to all the people who have reversed and cured myriad diseases and health problems by cutting OUT almost all or completely all vegetables. Science, biology, and evidence disagree with you. Perhaps MAYBE if soil depletion and glyphosate weren't a thing then eating vegetables wouldn't be SO unhealthy, but even then they still contain ANTI-nutrients, plus animal products are just VASTLY more nutritious. I love sauerkraut with my burgers, I'm not saying don't eat veggies, but the false religion of veganism is harmful and detrimental in more ways than i care to elaborate on.
@@dennispattarozzi5099 And his test didn't work. Let's see how he is after another 5 years of no salads or vegetables. Only fanatics eat a solely meat diet.
48 servings : - 1/2 cup salt [Grey Celtic Sea Salt or what she uses in this video Redmond real salt) - 1 & 3/4 teaspoon Nu-salt (potassium chloride) - 1/2 teaspoon magnesium glycinate Mix well! Then get 32 ounce (4 cups) of water then take a 1/2 teaspoon of your dry mixture and add it to the 32 ounces of water and mix until dissolved. If want to add flavor 1/4 cup of juice
I donated blood last week and the phlebotomist said I should drink an Electrolyte drink. Then she said, "But the store bought ones aren't good for us". I came home and there you were telling us how to make them!!! Just got the ingredients. You're the BEST Mary!!
@@perigee1275 Perhaps try looking for the salt substitute "NO-Salt ®" (many grocery stores carry it and very easy to find online -- it is powdered potassium chloride and potassium bitartrate although it does have other things added (but which occur in nature) as stabilizers. Such as adipic acid extracted from beets/beet juice (not to be confused with the cancer causing adipates) -- and which is used in things like baking powder, unflavored gelatin, and other standard powdered baking products. Has 690mg potassium per 1/4 tsp (1.3g). (NOT NU-Salt -- I'm not familiar with it as it is not available where I live -- but I actually did mean NO-Salt)
It's because our phones listen to us. On several occasions I've had conversations with people and then Bam! I get advertisements and video recommendations about what I was just talking about. Kinda creepy.
Hi, biochemist from Ukraine right there with my humble opinion about this electrolytes mixture. It’s fantastic, simple and it works! I have been using something similar for awhile and it does a magic to our bodies by supplying micro elements and minerals which makes us more alkaline and brings our electrical potency of the desirable -25V healthy state of cells
Shout out to my amazing wife who about 6 months ago, took the time to watch this video, order all of the exact products and make it for me. I woke up this morning feeling so physically tired, drank some of this and now I am completely fine and my stuffy head is gone too.
This is exactly what is needed to see 5 years ago! I was diagnosed with severe hyponatremia in 2016 that I had a cerebral edema, nearly putting me into a coma. I never thought purified water on its own would be so deadly, but now I know how to make this electrolyte blend and add it to my repertoire all thanks to you Mary! Thank you!
Yeah a couple of months ago I spent about a week in the hospital because of low sodium. I had gotten into drinking more water a couple years ago and gradually was drinking more and more until this day I could hardly talk and was all spaced out. I was actually at an appointment with my psychologist/therapist that day and she called an ambulance. I wouldn't have thought just drinking water could be so deadly. I've learned I wasn't replacing my electrolytes.
Thank you! My daughter is working at a physically demanding job in this high heat we are experiencing in ND and has been purchasing typical sports drinks and is having issues with all the artificial coloring. I have all the ingredients on hand so I can make up a bunch for her.
Interesting when I went to Amazon for Nu-Salt, it offered me "frequently bought together" a bulk supplement magnesium glycinate powder and Redmond Real Salt. Right on, Mary, as usual!
Do you have the link. The nu salt I find on Amazon has more than the one ingredient?. Can't find anywhere except bulk. Am I over thinking the ingredients. Also magnesium glycinate powder I find has flow agent in it
I can’t find the magnesium glycinate without caking ingredients on Amazon or at my store. Do you have a link the one you found? I keep finding rice flour included 😕
If you find yourself over doing sodium accidentally from eating a salty meal, you can eat a banana or other veggie or fruit that has high-ish potassium (to help your kidneys remove the overabundance of sodium)
@@lmccahill45 I'm more thinking someone who could have taught me these things at a young age. I had a great mom who worked hard and I wouldn't wish to have another or grandmother. However I would wish to have an aunt like this. Have you ever thought why my comment from a stranger seemed to bother you
1. Real salt (fine grind), 2 potassium chloride (Nu Salt , salt substitute), 3. Magnesium Glysinate capsules in vitamin isle, measuring cups, measuring spoon, 32oz glass jar w/straw
Great info! The consquences of sodium deficiencies are real! I suffered from severe dehydratation as a 4 year old and almost died. I have also learned the ongoing consequences of not getting enough salt - and how much better I feel when I regularly use clean salts in my food. Everyone should watch and learn from this video.
Thank you Mary! I never drank Gatorade because I read the label way too much sugar! Athletes were getting cavities. So this is so much healthier. Your video is very helpful
I finally made my electrolyte drink and it tastes so much better than what they have out. I added lemon juice and sugar in the raw. I do feel the difference. Thank you!!
I just finished watching and I am so glad you did not put apple cider vinegar in the recipe! I can’t stomach apple cider vinegar in a drink anymore I am definitely going to try that thank you so much for all you do God bless you
G'day Mary. The TH-cam algorithms decided to show me this video and I'm so glad it did. I was relieved to find out that the ingredients are actually easy to find and I don't need to spend a fortune on them. I have SIADH which is a health issue where my body just does not keep the sodium I give it. So I generally have one electrolyte drink a day, typically at bedtime and that works for me. But it's also expensive and I'd really like to stop buying the plastic drink bottles these drinks come in. The exercise electrolyte powders are expensive to buy too, so your recipe is just good common sense. I can take care of my health issue while saving approximately $60 a month. That's a lot back in my pocket! Thank you! I noticed the HEB logo somewhere in this video - oh my goodness, you're in Texas! My son lives in Houston. I live in Australia and I last visited in 2019. You have yourself a new subscriber!
I just ran across your page and I'm totally in LOVE with your videos! Thank you so much for this. I'm 45 with 3 teen boys just getting started on converting our pantry into more natural and more nutritious foods on a low budget. They are all into sports and this drink will be wonderful for them! I will defiantly be watching more of your how to's and checking out your website.
Hello all. I tried this recipe for a few months. Taking 1 liter of water daily with the suggested recipe. I did notice an increase in energy and less fatigue during workouts. However, was still gaining weight. Unfortunately I believe I may have overdone it, as I realized my body was retaining too much water due to the sodium content. I looked a little more plump. Since I have stopped taking it daily, I noticed my figure has slimmed down although I have probably not lost much weight. I think it's a great recipe, just something I would try a couple times a week as opposed to every day! The sodium seemed to have a building up effect on me! But it is possible those nutrients are readily available through foods. That being said I will still probably use it only weekly for the magnesium and potassium. Just something to be mindful of! -Alexandra
Many thanks for this Mary. Stuck on the couch with a bout of gout due to low potassium. Been surfing the net looking for electrolyte drinks and here you are with a simple easy homemade recipe. 💕
Excellent work, Mary! I make it a point to have two servings of this daily (made with my favorite juice or other drink mix) to prevent dehydration. Very helpful.🥰
Thank you! I have been wanting a recipe for this. I have bought a sugar free sports drink but it’s so expensive. I appreciate this recipe and your other ones as well 🥰
Hi Mary! I went looking for potassium chloride yesterday and after 3 stores I gave up. I looked up Nu Salt to buy online, but the label is different than the one you showed. It has potassium chloride, cream of tartar, silicon dioxide and natural flavor. Other brands have anti-caking agents as well, and the pure ones are in large and expensive. Just wanted to point this out! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you for this video. I live in the desert and it gets very hot. Doing yard work can put you down for the rest of the day. I keep hydrated best I can and when finished I have a can of coconut water, it seems to help me some. This will take the coconut water to the next level, and I can try new flavors. This will become a staple in my pantry. Winters are not so wintery either, a great year round helper. Keep well & safe.
Thanks for this wonderful process , sending /sharing to my family that suffers obesity and sugar cravings. I will make it for myself to keep me on my carnivore diet journey
P.S. I always speak too soon, I apologize lol! I just went to the written recipe and I will absolutely be using stevia, berries (AND I may try sparkling water like Perrier!) You are the BEST, thanks again bella!!! Ciao for now! 🥰
This is a great item to make to give as a gift with a decorative instructions card for family and friends! Thanks so much Mary for taking the time to make and share this very informative videos!! Love your channel.
Thank you for sharing this Electrolyte recipe, I have been looking for it forever! I am finally understanding the great importance that the electrolytes make in our bodies; and how hard they work in keeping us alive and well! Thanks again!
Dear Mary,. This is fantastic, thank you. I used to buy these a very long time ago but haven't bought it in ages because of the crap in the drinks. I had no idea it could quelch cravings, that interests me too, I find myself going through cupboards during the day just browsing for a snack. If this helps I'm in. Just for a FYI in one of your latest videos you gave a link to some sites that sell aprons. I looked it up and ended up buying 2 aprons. Now when I am in the kitchen whipping up a recipe of yours I can look the part and not get stuff all over myself. ( Mary wanna be) haha 😜
That recipe will come in very handy, thanks for sharing it. I’ve been buying sports drinks because I get bad cramps after working in the garden and I need to replenish my minerals. I didn’t know making a homemade version was so easy.
WOW, I went through about 10 of these vids and yours was BY far the easiest to follow. I have been drinking smart water from plastic bottles for years now and I wanna "kick the habit!" Hopefully this will get me on the right path...thank you!!
we like to make hibiscus /lemongrass tea and add to. This will be even better with this in it. But the one thing I have found...is taking magnesium malate on a regular basis really helps...it is so good for your muscles!!!
Thank you for the recipe! I actually have all of these ingredients because I was planning on making my own a while back, but I didn’t know if it was ok to mix the ingredients ahead of time. I’m going to mix mine with cold brewed hibiscus tea.🌺
@@Melshed heads up.. add some citric acid in there too. The ph of the electrolyte powder alters the ph of the naturally acidic hibiscus and it changes the color. Mine turned blue/green/brown. Still drank it and it didn’t harm me, but the addition of something acidic will prevent the unappealing color change.🤣
You're brilliant! I never thought about making an electrolyte drink...this will save me a lot of money. I don't drink Gatorade, but my husband is a huge fan. Again, thank you sweet Mary, you're such a blessing. Now to break my husband of his Gatorade habit. Blessings!
Thank you for making this video. I've been looking for electrolyte drinks that are healthy and don't have a ton of sugar added to them but had no clue that I could make my own. Thanks to your video I can now make an electrolyte drink and know that it's good for me.
I was looking for a natural electrolytes drink and every video that I found, people were talking about a specific brand. Thank you for sharing this natural receipe. Very simple and affordable 💖
I sure love your videos Sweet Mary. You are always so thorough and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us. Btw, you do not look at all like you are in your sixties! Love and may God richly bless you too!
A while back, I bought a Zero Water filter system. I hated the way the water tasted. I grabbed the salt shaker (pink salt) and now it tastes perfect. Purified water drains minerals out of our bodies. Now I am going to have to try your recipe. Thank you Mary.
Magnesium glycinate capsules are available in several potencies. Which should be used here? Also, most fruit juices are high in sugar content, so not necessarily best for everyone.
You are such a blessing! I have had issues over the last couple of years with electrolyte imbalance as I work as a gardener. This is so much easier than the drink I was making. I’ll be stocking my pantry with this concoction. Maybe I can even get my boys to try it! Thank you for your generous spirit. Be Blissed! daisy
Mary - first, I must say - I love your channel and the pure joy you exude! The light of Christ shines through you! Second, if I may ask - I recently came across poolish and have been searching about this on the internet.. I felt since few are such thorough teachers like you, I could ask you if you could please do a video ok this. Thank you ❤️
Yay!!!! You read my mind!!! I was about to look around for exactly THIS!!! Thank u Mary dear!!! ❤ We really need this on Keto!! And I need it for my health too,. (I LOVE both Celtic and Himalayan salts, and nu salt for potassium!) xoxo
Help! My sports drink has a gritty texture. What have I done wrong? I’ve used the exact ingredients (ordered from Amazon) and carefully measured and mixed. Thank you. Love your resources.
I am so happy to see this video, electrolytes are so Important! I have been making a similar drink myself for years now for my family, I use cream of tartar for the potassium with good results, it adds a nice tart to lemonade.
Mary, thank you so much. I rely on sports drinks for a medical issue that causes dizziness at the slightest bit of dehydration and I'm so sick of all the fake sugar and chemicals. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have been using your eletrolyte recipe since last year but I have been adding 1 tsp to 16.9 fluid oz of bottled water, it seems to be the perfect amount for me, sometimes I add orange flavoring and stevia a squirt or so and a little fresh squeezed lemon juice. occassionally I use LMNT or Re-Lyte (redmonds electrolytes in a pinch and was just checking them out ) My husband said the LMNT would give him a headache and that could be to much potassium for him if he just guzzles the bottle down quickly instead of sipping over a time. Thank You Mary for sharing and the work you puit into the videos.
Thank you so much Mary . Having recently had deep tissue massage, I'm finding it nearly impossible to rehydrate despite drinking gallons of water so I'm definitely going to get the stuff and make this.....❤ you're a star
Love this! I ordered the potassium and magnesium while watching (have the salt already) and will make some of the powder up! I may a summer drink for when we're working out in the sunshine all day. It's called "Haymaker's Punch" and I got the recipe from Stacy from "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy". I might play around with adding this powder to that recipe, or just make it like you do. This powder would be a good thing to keep on hand for times when someone in the household has a stomach flu with vomiting or diarrhea, as that's a way serious electrolytes can be lost. This would be like a homemade "Pedialyte" sort of substitute. When I was about a year old, I'm told that I had a stomach flu that warranted a trip to the ER. The doctor fed me a bottle of electrolyte-infused water and may have saved my life as I was really ill. Thanks for sharing and God bless!
Oh yes! Haymaker's punch is wonderful! You might enjoy some of the old-fashioned beverage recipes like switchel and shrubs, that I share in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U2w2-CiBrkNnZj_IIlqZc9h.html Love, Mary
Please do a series of videos on gardening for long term survival, from start to self-sufficiency. Start on acquiring seeds and soil prepping and planning on WHERE to plant. What plan or strategy on what and HOW to plant it(three sisters method or sweet corn vs dent corn), how , when to water , pest control fertilizer (management). Then harvest and seed collecting and seed storage, storage and preservation of excess crops. Soil and crop rotation. Planting for next season.
This was excellent. I will be trying this for sure. They make special containers that have a small colander for placing your mint, or fruit in. Very handy. I had not thought of ginger tho and I have some. Will see. Thank you Mary.
I can't wait for making this nutrient rich and also delicious drink. I think that this is actually what I'm lacking in my nutrition and training. Thank you a lot!
Looks great, im pregnant and nursing so i drink organic gatorade a lot so this would be much bettter! I wonder if you could add trace mineral drops to this drink too.
Thank you for this video! I always struggled with my fast metabolism and active lifestyle and I tend to get dehydrated very easily to the point of where my potassium and other minerals decline.. last year was a hospital trip over it 😣 I got dehydrated and my body ended up seizing up on me. It's something I've been struggling with but found that Gatorade seemed to keep it at bay, I also switched to real salt a few months back and I don't use anything else... I didn't know about the nu salt, I will have to add that to my collection. 😌 God bless Mary. ❤
My husband and I just made our first Electrolyte Drink. It is sweetened with 1 Tablespoon Stevia, flavored with True Lemon (R) lemon and raspberry packet. Put one in the dry mix and then another in the 16 ounces water. I am a bit timid so I tried it on the pint level. It is delicious! Thanks for sharing...
This is a great idea not just for athletes but for someone trying to replenish their electrolytes during a stomach virus. Could the potassium capsules be substituted with cream of tartar which is essentially potassium bitartrate? It's not the same potassium but it's in the spice isle of most supermarkets. Just a thought.
Wish you added the mg of each substance. I use cream of tartar for the potassium and a capful of black strap molasses for the sweetener for an extra boost of minerals.
Thank you. My husband is an ac tech. Hot work in the FL summer. ...attics are 130°. I've been making switchel for years. This, he could just put in his water cooler.
Wow Mary, I just subscribed to your channel and there is a wealth of information here. I love to make things from scratch and I love bone broth, sauerkraut, and just watched the homemade keto creamer. Awesome, can’t wait to try this as I can go anywhere and have the kind of creamer I want. And the electrolyte powder!! 👍💯♥️!!😁
Thank you, Mary! Im new to your channel. I've been looking for an electrolyte drink for my sister, who's been having medical issues lately. Due to her very low sodium count she's had 2 trips to the ER in 3 weeks! She's been drinking store-bought drinks, but I wanted something that didn't contain ingredients she doesnt need. I'm so happy to have found you! I look forward to watching your other videos. Blessings to you.
I use crystal light for my home made sports electrolytes. Works a treat. You can add the powder to the electrolyte powder and then mix in with water as required.
This looks like a great alternative to store-bought electrolyte drinks. One quick question...Would it hurt anything to run the ingredients through a grinder to make the powder finer? I think it would dissolve faster and maybe mix more thoroughly? (I am forever stumbling across wonderful ideas on your channel, so thank you!)
I normally hate long videos and find people’s explanations boring so I skip through but I hung into every word you said!!! Thank you for being the most knowledge video I have found after almost an hour on researching a diy electrolyte powder! I am officially subscribed and hope to hear more of your wisdom Mary!
Hello Mary -- a great idea especially with the warmer weather on its way! I was wondering if just combining the two salts (KCl and sea salt) would be okay without the Magnesium glycinate since we already take daily supplements of magnesium glycinate. Thank you for your great videos - have just started watching them!
This is great, thank you! I've previously searched for electrolyte recipes and so many simply suggest water and salt. For some reason, I seem to retain too much salt and require more potassium. It's so obvious to me when my potassium is out of balance as I get severely fatigued and have heart palpitations. If I supplement all electrolytes but omit the salt, I feel better within 1 minute. It's miraculous. Store bought electrolytes seem to contain far too much salt for me. I practice intermittent fasting/ time restricted eating and electrolytes are critical for my overall feeling of wellness and both mental and physical energy. Do you know if it would be okay to perhaps increase the potassium and/ or half the salt in your recipe to help balance this? Are there any additional ingredients I should avoid in terms of inhibiting the absorption of the electrolytes? I love this recipe, thank you, I'm definitely going to try it. 🌞 Here in Australia, electrolyte solution store bought, are extremely expensive and simply contain too much salt. I've read many people are not consuming sufficient potassium and magnesium in their diet whereas salt is in abundance in so many things. I'm presently camping beachside and don't have access to a well stocked kitchen, so while I'm doing my best to avoid processed foods, they're unavoidable at times. I truly dislike them, definitely feel worse both physically and mentally if I eat them, and prefer cooking from scratch, and I find your videos so helpful and inspiring for my future plans. Thank you. 👌
Awesome! I often struggle through Physical Therapy and feel drained afterward. (I am 75) I hope this will help. I use Himalayan sea salt, the authentic one from Pakistan. Stevia gives me instant headaches, and I really don't like the after taste~ not sure why, but I suspect that it is processed with something that does not agree with me.
I didn't see you mention it either here or on your recipe page, so I did the calculations to determine how much sodium, potassium, and magnesium are in each 32 oz "serving" (1/2 tsp powder added to 32 oz water). There's also a lot of chloride of course, but I'm not sure that matters much. Although the amount of chloride is usually listed in commercial electrolyte powders and liquids. My results: --- - Sodium: 1 cup salt is 48 tsp, so 1/2 cup salt is 48 1/2 tsp, which provides from 1000 - 1200 mg sodium per serving , depending on the coarseness of the salt. - Potassium: depending on the reference, 1/4 tsp KCl provides about 650 mg potassium, so 7 of those makes 1 3/4 tsp, which would amount to about 4500 mg potassium. That gives about 100 mg potassium per serving (1/48 of the total) - 1/2 tsp magnesium glycinate provides about 200 mg magnesium (per the Best Naturals brand of powder), so 1/48 of that gives about 4 mg magnesium per serving .) --- For comparison, the values for these electrolytes present in 32 oz servings of commercial products "Keto Chow", "Keto Lyte" and "Ionic Lytes" are all about the same, at 125 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium, 45 mg magnesium, and 300 mg chloride. So, I think your mixture has way too much sodium and way too little magnesium. The potassium content seems to be in the right ballpark though. 3

Thanks for watching! Love, Mary
Thank you Mary for you're time and all your great recipes!
Thank you for sharing. Very informative. I have sea salt but it says added "anti caking" agent, should i avoid using it because of anti caking agent in my foods/cookings?
I wonder if that fermented ginger you make would be good in there, too. And it could add that bubbliness that people are used to in energy drinks.
Looking forward to making this. I ordered the magnesium glycinate using your link. It’s tablets, not capsules. So I had to return it, and ordered another brand that is capsules. Waiting for it to arrive.
Question. If I convert your recipe, you add 1 tablespoon OJ to 1 cup of water /electrolyte mixture. That will not taste a lot like orange drink. Do you mean use orange juice concentrate? Thanks!
This video’s solid, but The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray will take your understanding to the next level. Trust me on this.
As someone that is in the medical profession with a focus on nutrition and musculoskeletal wellness, I can say this woman has it right with not only the proper electrolytes that you don’t get in most sports drinks, but also the quality of the electrolytes themselves. Magnesium glycinate is the easiest and most readily available for the body to use and you don’t see many highlighting the importance of the quality of the electrolyte. Bravo 👏🏼
@@rozchristopherson648 no they won’t 🤦🏻♂️ your artery’s only clog if you’re doing something wrong trust me, look up darren shmidt on youtube he’s only a bit younger then you and will explain why a vegan/ high carb diet is literally the worst thing you could possibly do to yourself, honestly if you do everything the way you’re meant to you will not get clogged artery’s, most younger people agree with you trust me i am one, there are far more older people doing carnivore now who have done so for years saying they’re by far in the best condition of their lives, trust me also look at bart kat on youtube those two should be able to solve any of your questions
@@rozchristopherson648 hahaha veganism does not solve all gut issues, sure cutting out processed foods helps a lot but veganism is controlled malnutrition
@@rozchristopherson648 except for all the people it makes extremely sick and all the people that have had to stop doing vegan or they'd die.
Or try explaining that to all the people who have reversed and cured myriad diseases and health problems by cutting OUT almost all or completely all vegetables.
Science, biology, and evidence disagree with you.
Perhaps MAYBE if soil depletion and glyphosate weren't a thing then eating vegetables wouldn't be SO unhealthy, but even then they still contain ANTI-nutrients, plus animal products are just VASTLY more nutritious.
I love sauerkraut with my burgers, I'm not saying don't eat veggies, but the false religion of veganism is harmful and detrimental in more ways than i care to elaborate on.
@@rozchristopherson648 A pure carnivore diet actually cures leaky gut, especially if you consume bone broth. Are you basing your claim on a feeling?

48 servings :
- 1/2 cup salt [Grey Celtic Sea Salt or what she uses in this video Redmond real salt)
- 1 & 3/4 teaspoon Nu-salt (potassium chloride)
- 1/2 teaspoon magnesium glycinate
Mix well! Then get 32 ounce (4 cups) of water then take a 1/2 teaspoon of your dry mixture and add it to the 32 ounces of water and mix until dissolved.
If want to add flavor 1/4 cup of juice
Thank you!!!
Thank you, for writing the ingredients . 🙏
Saved A LOT of money and just buy Potassium Chloride from BulkSupplements .com. Nu-salt and other store bought salt replacements are overpriced.
Thank you
Bless.
I donated blood last week and the phlebotomist said I should drink an Electrolyte drink. Then she said, "But the store bought ones aren't good for us". I came home and there you were telling us how to make them!!! Just got the ingredients. You're the BEST Mary!!
💚 thank u for donating! 🙂
She was right. Stuff like Gatorade is terrible for you.
@@perigee1275 Perhaps try looking for the salt substitute "NO-Salt ®" (many grocery stores carry it and very easy to find online -- it is powdered potassium chloride and potassium bitartrate although it does have other things added (but which occur in nature) as stabilizers. Such as adipic acid extracted from beets/beet juice (not to be confused with the cancer causing adipates) -- and which is used in things like baking powder, unflavored gelatin, and other standard powdered baking products. Has 690mg potassium per 1/4 tsp (1.3g). (NOT NU-Salt -- I'm not familiar with it as it is not available where I live -- but I actually did mean NO-Salt)
It's because our phones listen to us. On several occasions I've had conversations with people and then Bam! I get advertisements and video recommendations about what I was just talking about. Kinda creepy.
That's what I've come to know as divine synchronicity 💞👁
Hi, biochemist from Ukraine right there with my humble opinion about this electrolytes mixture. It’s fantastic, simple and it works! I have been using something similar for awhile and it does a magic to our bodies by supplying micro elements and minerals which makes us more alkaline and brings our electrical potency of the desirable -25V healthy state of cells

Shout out to my amazing wife who about 6 months ago, took the time to watch this video, order all of the exact products and make it for me. I woke up this morning feeling so physically tired, drank some of this and now I am completely fine and my stuffy head is gone too.
This is exactly what is needed to see 5 years ago! I was diagnosed with severe hyponatremia in 2016 that I had a cerebral edema, nearly putting me into a coma. I never thought purified water on its own would be so deadly, but now I know how to make this electrolyte blend and add it to my repertoire all thanks to you Mary! Thank you!
Can you share more? Do you think it was purified water that caused your condition? Sorry to hear
@@valjean2036that‘s exactly what Dr. Berg says. Too much water ( which is so promoted today) depletes you of electrolytes.
Yeah a couple of months ago I spent about a week in the hospital because of low sodium.
I had gotten into drinking more water a couple years ago and gradually was drinking more and more until this day I could hardly talk and was all spaced out.
I was actually at an appointment with my psychologist/therapist that day and she called an ambulance.
I wouldn't have thought just drinking water could be so deadly.
I've learned I wasn't replacing my electrolytes.
@@mausfledermaus7811 its crazy cause i thought they replaced sodium in the water..i thought that was why i got bloated drinking it lol
You are so awesome Mary. You really taught me a lot about the importance of those electrolytes. Love you!!! P.S. loved when the 1 blueberry escaped :)
Thank you! My daughter is working at a physically demanding job in this high heat we are experiencing in ND and has been purchasing typical sports drinks and is having issues with all the artificial coloring. I have all the ingredients on hand so I can make up a bunch for her.
Gatorade is horrible for you. And the cost?
Interesting when I went to Amazon for Nu-Salt, it offered me "frequently bought together" a bulk supplement magnesium glycinate powder and Redmond Real Salt. Right on, Mary, as usual!
Do you have the link. The nu salt I find on Amazon has more than the one ingredient?. Can't find anywhere except bulk. Am I over thinking the ingredients. Also magnesium glycinate powder I find has flow agent in it
@@Steven-hf7rg same here on the nu salt. I’m still looking for the one ingredient version. Might end up getting bulk version of potassium chloride.
@@lovinglife3954 same here
@@Steven-hf7rg did you ever find the nu-salt without the additives?
I can’t find the magnesium glycinate without caking ingredients on Amazon or at my store. Do you have a link the one you found? I keep finding rice flour included 😕
If you find yourself over doing sodium accidentally from eating a salty meal, you can eat a banana or other veggie or fruit that has high-ish potassium (to help your kidneys remove the overabundance of sodium)
Great tip!
Wow!Great thinking,thanks.
Oranges are also high K too if you are allergic to bananas.
Avocado
Coconut juice would do.
You're the aunt I wish I had

Thank You!
Mary, each minute watching your videos is a minute well spent!
You are so smart and so sweet!
Thanks for this video!
When life gives you lemons:
Make a sports drink.
Love that!
Aaaaaaaaashahaha🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great info! The consquences of sodium deficiencies are real! I suffered from severe dehydratation as a 4 year old and almost died. I have also learned the ongoing consequences of not getting enough salt - and how much better I feel when I regularly use clean salts in my food. Everyone should watch and learn from this video.
Hi Suzanne, Oh my goodness! Thank you for sharing your story!! Love, Mary
Hey beautiful,I'm August. nice meeting you here✌️✌️
Mary, I can't find the gallon beet
Mary I can't find the gallon beet pro biotic drink. Please repost. Can't find in receipes.
Thank you Mary! I never drank Gatorade because I read the label way too much sugar! Athletes were getting cavities. So this is so much healthier. Your video is very helpful
This is why I prefer Gatorade Zero.
I finally made my electrolyte drink and it tastes so much better than what they have out. I added lemon juice and sugar in the raw. I do feel the difference. Thank you!!
My daughter suffers from cyclic vomiting and it causes her potassium to plummet! I can’t wait to send her this video! Thank you so much!
Wow, thanks for this recipe! I've made haymakers punch but I like the fact that its all dry ingredients to keep in the pantry.
I just finished watching and I am so glad you did not put apple cider vinegar in the recipe! I can’t stomach apple cider vinegar in a drink anymore I am definitely going to try that thank you so much for all you do God bless you
Perfect timing for this topic! Thanks, Mary!❤️🇨🇦
G'day Mary. The TH-cam algorithms decided to show me this video and I'm so glad it did. I was relieved to find out that the ingredients are actually easy to find and I don't need to spend a fortune on them. I have SIADH which is a health issue where my body just does not keep the sodium I give it. So I generally have one electrolyte drink a day, typically at bedtime and that works for me. But it's also expensive and I'd really like to stop buying the plastic drink bottles these drinks come in. The exercise electrolyte powders are expensive to buy too, so your recipe is just good common sense. I can take care of my health issue while saving approximately $60 a month. That's a lot back in my pocket! Thank you! I noticed the HEB logo somewhere in this video - oh my goodness, you're in Texas! My son lives in Houston. I live in Australia and I last visited in 2019. You have yourself a new subscriber!
I just ran across your page and I'm totally in LOVE with your videos! Thank you so much for this. I'm 45 with 3 teen boys just getting started on converting our pantry into more natural and more nutritious foods on a low budget. They are all into sports and this drink will be wonderful for them! I will defiantly be watching more of your how to's and checking out your website.
Hello all. I tried this recipe for a few months. Taking 1 liter of water daily with the suggested recipe. I did notice an increase in energy and less fatigue during workouts. However, was still gaining weight. Unfortunately I believe I may have overdone it, as I realized my body was retaining too much water due to the sodium content. I looked a little more plump. Since I have stopped taking it daily, I noticed my figure has slimmed down although I have probably not lost much weight. I think it's a great recipe, just something I would try a couple times a week as opposed to every day! The sodium seemed to have a building up effect on me! But it is possible those nutrients are readily available through foods. That being said I will still probably use it only weekly for the magnesium and potassium. Just something to be mindful of! -Alexandra
Many thanks for this Mary. Stuck on the couch with a bout of gout due to low potassium. Been surfing the net looking for electrolyte drinks and here you are with a simple easy homemade recipe. 💕
Also Avocado and Banana have VERY high levels of potassium
Excellent work, Mary! I make it a point to have two servings of this daily (made with my favorite juice or other drink mix) to prevent dehydration. Very helpful.🥰
Tried Redmans and Celtic Sea salt. Celtic tastes better and dissolves much easier. Worth the extra cost.
It also has more minerals, esp 3 different bioavailable forms of magnesium. Switching changed my life.
Such an epic lady! Cant wait for this!! Thank you for your no knead skillet bread - for a first timer, I was so proud!
You are so welcome!
Thank you! I have been wanting a recipe for this. I have bought a sugar free sports drink but it’s so expensive. I appreciate this recipe and your other ones as well 🥰
I love this, we consume a lot of sports drinks.
gatorade has all that stuff in it that you can't pronounce.
Hi Mary! I went looking for potassium chloride yesterday and after 3 stores I gave up. I looked up Nu Salt to buy online, but the label is different than the one you showed. It has potassium chloride, cream of tartar, silicon dioxide and natural flavor. Other brands have anti-caking agents as well, and the pure ones are in large and expensive. Just wanted to point this out! Thanks for all you do!
I got mine off ebay. Now Foods makes it.
I"m finding the same with Nu Salt. Have they changed their product?
How about Drug Store access to this?
Oh, I'm definitely making this for weight loss. Thank you Mary! 💕💕💕
Thank you for this video. I live in the desert and it gets very hot. Doing yard work can put you down for the rest of the day. I keep hydrated best I can and when finished I have a can of coconut water, it seems to help me some. This will take the coconut water to the next level, and I can try new flavors. This will become a staple in my pantry. Winters are not so wintery either, a great year round helper. Keep well & safe.
Love the colors of your kitchen. Lime and white! Cheery and uplifting !🍏🥝🍋
Can Mary be anymore brilliant!? I'm learning so much and I'm so grateful!!
Thanks for this wonderful process , sending /sharing to my family that suffers obesity and sugar cravings. I will make it for myself to keep me on my carnivore diet journey
P.S. I always speak too soon, I apologize lol! I just went to the written recipe and I will absolutely be using stevia, berries (AND I may try sparkling water like Perrier!) You are the BEST, thanks again bella!!! Ciao for now! 🥰
Try Topo Chico instead, promise you will never be able to drink San Pellegrino or Perrier ever again!
This is a great item to make to give as a gift with a decorative instructions card for family and friends! Thanks so much Mary for taking the time to make and share this very informative videos!! Love your channel.
What a great gift idea!
Great idea! And thank you so much for the kind words! Love, Mary
GM Sweet Mary ☀️🌻💐 & God Bless You For All You Do
Good morning sweet friend!
I love your smile 😃 you are a blessing indeed.
Thank you for sharing this Electrolyte recipe, I have been looking for it forever! I am finally understanding the great importance that the electrolytes make in our bodies; and how hard they work in keeping us alive and well! Thanks again!
Dear Mary,. This is fantastic, thank you. I used to buy these a very long time ago but haven't bought it in ages because of the crap in the drinks. I had no idea it could quelch cravings, that interests me too, I find myself going through cupboards during the day just browsing for a snack. If this helps I'm in. Just for a FYI in one of your latest videos you gave a link to some sites that sell aprons. I looked it up and ended up buying 2 aprons. Now when I am in the kitchen whipping up a recipe of yours I can look the part and not get stuff all over myself. ( Mary wanna be) haha 😜
That recipe will come in very handy, thanks for sharing it. I’ve been buying sports drinks because I get bad cramps after working in the garden and I need to replenish my minerals. I didn’t know making a homemade version was so easy.
Hope you enjoy!
WOW, I went through about 10 of these vids and yours was BY far the easiest to follow. I have been drinking smart water from plastic bottles for years now and I wanna "kick the habit!" Hopefully this will get me on the right path...thank you!!
Your cream cheese was so good I made cheese cake from it it was delicious ❣️ ❣️
Glad you liked it!!
Oh you made it!!! Yay you inspired me to try .
@@mamariaesparza8623 hahahaha here there's no cream cheese do I made cream cheese and cheese cake 😊😅
Can’t make that cream cheese fast enough…always gone in 1 sitting! Thanks Mary!
@@lindabistro1124 Yes that's right ❤️
we like to make hibiscus /lemongrass tea and add to. This will be even better with this in it. But the one thing I have found...is taking magnesium malate on a regular basis really helps...it is so good for your muscles!!!
Wonderful!
Love your apron! 🍋My kitchen is yellow&white with lemons🍋🍋😉Thanks, needed so much this time of year! 98° & heat index of 110 here in Iowa today🥵
Monk fruit is a great sweetener as well
Thank you for the recipe! I actually have all of these ingredients because I was planning on making my own a while back, but I didn’t know if it was ok to mix the ingredients ahead of time. I’m going to mix mine with cold brewed hibiscus tea.🌺
This is a great idea! Next time I make my children a gallon of hibiscus &rosehips tea, I’ll reserve some of it for this use 🤩
@@Melshed heads up.. add some citric acid in there too. The ph of the electrolyte powder alters the ph of the naturally acidic hibiscus and it changes the color. Mine turned blue/green/brown. Still drank it and it didn’t harm me, but the addition of something acidic will prevent the unappealing color change.🤣
@@babianna5609 oh that’s good to know, it would’ve been wasted for sure. Did you add the citric acid directly to the drink? About how much?
@@Melshed actually I used a few of those little true lemon packets. Not exactly sure how many. Or you can do some lemon juice straight up
You're brilliant! I never thought about making an electrolyte drink...this will save me a lot of money. I don't drink Gatorade, but my husband is a huge fan. Again, thank you sweet Mary, you're such a blessing. Now to break my husband of his Gatorade habit. Blessings!
Thank you for making this video. I've been looking for electrolyte drinks that are healthy and don't have a ton of sugar added to them but had no clue that I could make my own. Thanks to your video I can now make an electrolyte drink and know that it's good for me.
I was looking for a natural electrolytes drink and every video that I found, people were talking about a specific brand. Thank you for sharing this natural receipe. Very simple and affordable 💖
I sure love your videos Sweet Mary. You are always so thorough and very enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your wonderful knowledge with us. Btw, you do not look at all like you are in your sixties! Love and may God richly bless you too!
Thank you SO much!!
A while back, I bought a Zero Water filter system. I hated the way the water tasted. I grabbed the salt shaker (pink salt) and now it tastes perfect. Purified water drains minerals out of our bodies. Now I am going to have to try your recipe. Thank you Mary.
Magnesium glycinate capsules are available in several potencies.
Which should be used here?
Also, most fruit juices are high in sugar content, so not necessarily best for everyone.
The powder in bulk is pure, almost 100% of capsules have unwanted fillers.
hi sweet friend love it love it thanks always after play tennis my muscles pain but with this drank everything ok thanks so much sharing us
You are such a blessing! I have had issues over the last couple of years with electrolyte imbalance as I work as a gardener. This is so much easier than the drink I was making. I’ll be stocking my pantry with this concoction. Maybe I can even get my boys to try it! Thank you for your generous spirit.
Be Blissed! daisy

Second, if I may ask - I recently came across poolish and have been searching about this on the internet.. I felt since few are such thorough teachers like you, I could ask you if you could please do a video ok this. Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for the kind words!! That is a great idea. I will add making a poolish to the list. Love, Mary
Fabulous. I like to add lemon, cider vinegar and stevia and use when fasting. Love it.

1/2 teaspoon Magnesium glycinate , 1/2 cup salt, potassium chloride 1 3/4 teaspoon.
Thank you, Dear Friend. You’ve got me making sauerkraut, grinding grains, making bread, and now electrolyte beverages! THANKS
Yay!!!! You read my mind!!! I was about to look around for exactly THIS!!! Thank u Mary dear!!! ❤ We really need this on Keto!! And I need it for my health too,. (I LOVE both Celtic and Himalayan salts, and nu salt for potassium!) xoxo
Wonderful!
Help! My sports drink has a gritty texture. What have I done wrong? I’ve used the exact ingredients (ordered from Amazon) and carefully measured and mixed. Thank you. Love your resources.
I am so happy to see this video, electrolytes are so Important! I have been making a similar drink myself for years now for my family, I use cream of tartar for the potassium with good results, it adds a nice tart to lemonade.
Thank you for sharing your experience 💚👍
I use Himalayan Pink Sea Salt. I really like it
I love this- thanks! I've not seen an electrolyte drink recipe before. Im going to try this!
Hope you like it!
Mary, thank you so much. I rely on sports drinks for a medical issue that causes dizziness at the slightest bit of dehydration and I'm so sick of all the fake sugar and chemicals. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have been using your eletrolyte recipe since last year but I have been adding 1 tsp to 16.9 fluid oz of bottled water, it seems to be the perfect amount for me, sometimes I add orange flavoring and stevia a squirt or so and a little fresh squeezed lemon juice. occassionally I use LMNT or Re-Lyte (redmonds electrolytes in a pinch and was just checking them out ) My husband said the LMNT would give him a headache and that could be to much potassium for him if he just guzzles the bottle down quickly instead of sipping over a time. Thank You Mary for sharing and the work you puit into the videos.
Thank you !!!!! I love Electrolytes!
Wonderful! Love, Mary
Thank you so much Mary . Having recently had deep tissue massage, I'm finding it nearly impossible to rehydrate despite drinking gallons of water so I'm definitely going to get the stuff and make this.....❤ you're a star
Love this! I ordered the potassium and magnesium while watching (have the salt already) and will make some of the powder up! I may a summer drink for when we're working out in the sunshine all day. It's called "Haymaker's Punch" and I got the recipe from Stacy from "Off Grid with Doug and Stacy". I might play around with adding this powder to that recipe, or just make it like you do.
This powder would be a good thing to keep on hand for times when someone in the household has a stomach flu with vomiting or diarrhea, as that's a way serious electrolytes can be lost. This would be like a homemade "Pedialyte" sort of substitute. When I was about a year old, I'm told that I had a stomach flu that warranted a trip to the ER. The doctor fed me a bottle of electrolyte-infused water and may have saved my life as I was really ill.
Thanks for sharing and God bless!
Oh yes! Haymaker's punch is wonderful! You might enjoy some of the old-fashioned beverage recipes like switchel and shrubs, that I share in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLkRuW3pBo2U2w2-CiBrkNnZj_IIlqZc9h.html Love, Mary
Please do a series of videos on gardening for long term survival, from start to self-sufficiency. Start on acquiring seeds and soil prepping and planning on WHERE to plant. What plan or strategy on what and HOW to plant it(three sisters method or sweet corn vs dent corn), how , when to water , pest control fertilizer (management). Then harvest and seed collecting and seed storage, storage and preservation of excess crops. Soil and crop rotation. Planting for next season.
This was excellent. I will be trying this for sure. They make special containers that have a small colander for placing your mint, or fruit in. Very handy. I had not thought of ginger tho and I have some. Will see. Thank you Mary.
Hi Debra, Love that idea!
I can't wait for making this nutrient rich and also delicious drink. I think that this is actually what I'm lacking in my nutrition and training. Thank you a lot!
Looks great, im pregnant and nursing so i drink organic gatorade a lot so this would be much bettter!
I wonder if you could add trace mineral drops to this drink too.
Hi Amber, be sure to check with your obstetrician to make sure this drink or mineral drops is safe to take. Love, Mary
I'm 41 and staying hydrated with electrolytes really makes a difference thank you for the recipe!
Thank you for this video! I always struggled with my fast metabolism and active lifestyle and I tend to get dehydrated very easily to the point of where my potassium and other minerals decline.. last year was a hospital trip over it 😣 I got dehydrated and my body ended up seizing up on me. It's something I've been struggling with but found that Gatorade seemed to keep it at bay, I also switched to real salt a few months back and I don't use anything else... I didn't know about the nu salt, I will have to add that to my collection. 😌 God bless Mary. ❤
Hope it helps! Love, Mary
My husband and I just made our first Electrolyte Drink. It is sweetened with 1 Tablespoon Stevia, flavored with True Lemon (R) lemon and raspberry packet. Put one in the dry mix and then another in the 16 ounces water. I am a bit timid so I tried it on the pint level. It is delicious! Thanks for sharing...
This is a great idea not just for athletes but for someone trying to replenish their electrolytes during a stomach virus. Could the potassium capsules be substituted with cream of tartar which is essentially potassium bitartrate? It's not the same potassium but it's in the spice isle of most supermarkets. Just a thought.
Cream of tartar, potassium bitrate is not interchangeable with the potassium she speaks of.
Wish you added the mg of each substance. I use cream of tartar for the potassium and a capful of black strap molasses for the sweetener for an extra boost of minerals.
Thank you so much for this simple way to make electrolyte drinks! I’m going to make this and share this recipe.♥️
Thank you. My husband is an ac tech. Hot work in the FL summer. ...attics are 130°. I've been making switchel for years. This, he could just put in his water cooler.
Thanks a lot for this Marry ❤️💓
You're welcome 😊
Can we use pink salt or sea Salt??
M
Thank you for sharing. I do have a question. What mg should the magnesium glycinate be for this recipe? Thank you again!
Wow Mary, I just subscribed to your channel and there is a wealth of information here. I love to make things from scratch and I love bone broth, sauerkraut, and just watched the homemade keto creamer. Awesome, can’t wait to try this as I can go anywhere and have the kind of creamer I want. And the electrolyte powder!! 👍💯♥️!!😁
Thank you, Mary! Im new to your channel. I've been looking for an electrolyte drink for my sister, who's been having medical issues lately. Due to her very low sodium count she's had 2 trips to the ER in 3 weeks! She's been drinking store-bought drinks, but I wanted something that didn't contain ingredients she doesnt need. I'm so happy to have found you! I look forward to watching your other videos. Blessings to you.
This would be a good replacement for the water I use for Crystal Light lemonade.
I use crystal light for my home made sports electrolytes. Works a treat. You can add the powder to the electrolyte powder and then mix in with water as required.
Adore you!! Thank you for all you share. Genuinely thankful, grateful, and blessed!
This looks like a great alternative to store-bought electrolyte drinks.
One quick question...Would it hurt anything to run the ingredients through a grinder to make the powder finer? I think it would dissolve faster and maybe mix more thoroughly?
(I am forever stumbling across wonderful ideas on your channel, so thank you!)
Im sure it would be fine to grind it...just sayin'
I normally hate long videos and find people’s explanations boring so I skip through but I hung into every word you said!!! Thank you for being the most knowledge video I have found after almost an hour on researching a diy electrolyte powder!
I am officially subscribed and hope to hear more of your wisdom Mary!
Thank you so much Mary.
Hello Mary -- a great idea especially with the warmer weather on its way! I was wondering if just combining the two salts (KCl and sea salt) would be okay without the Magnesium glycinate since we already take daily supplements of magnesium glycinate. Thank you for your great videos - have just started watching them!
Great recipe. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy!
I flavored a bottle with cucumber and a sprig of mint, and another bottle with slices of lemon and a sprig of rosemary - yum!
This is great, thank you! I've previously searched for electrolyte recipes and so many simply suggest water and salt. For some reason, I seem to retain too much salt and require more potassium. It's so obvious to me when my potassium is out of balance as I get severely fatigued and have heart palpitations. If I supplement all electrolytes but omit the salt, I feel better within 1 minute. It's miraculous. Store bought electrolytes seem to contain far too much salt for me. I practice intermittent fasting/ time restricted eating and electrolytes are critical for my overall feeling of wellness and both mental and physical energy. Do you know if it would be okay to perhaps increase the potassium and/ or half the salt in your recipe to help balance this? Are there any additional ingredients I should avoid in terms of inhibiting the absorption of the electrolytes? I love this recipe, thank you, I'm definitely going to try it. 🌞 Here in Australia, electrolyte solution store bought, are extremely expensive and simply contain too much salt. I've read many people are not consuming sufficient potassium and magnesium in their diet whereas salt is in abundance in so many things. I'm presently camping beachside and don't have access to a well stocked kitchen, so while I'm doing my best to avoid processed foods, they're unavoidable at times. I truly dislike them, definitely feel worse both physically and mentally if I eat them, and prefer cooking from scratch, and I find your videos so helpful and inspiring for my future plans. Thank you. 👌
Awesome! I often struggle through Physical Therapy and feel drained afterward. (I am 75) I hope this will help. I use Himalayan sea salt, the authentic one from Pakistan. Stevia gives me instant headaches, and I really don't like the after taste~ not sure why, but I suspect that it is processed with something that does not agree with me.
I didn't see you mention it either here or on your recipe page, so I did the calculations to determine how much sodium, potassium, and magnesium are in each 32 oz "serving" (1/2 tsp powder added to 32 oz water). There's also a lot of chloride of course, but I'm not sure that matters much. Although the amount of chloride is usually listed in commercial electrolyte powders and liquids. My results:
---
- Sodium: 1 cup salt is 48 tsp, so 1/2 cup salt is 48 1/2 tsp, which provides from 1000 - 1200 mg sodium per serving , depending on the coarseness of the salt.
- Potassium: depending on the reference, 1/4 tsp KCl provides about 650 mg potassium, so 7 of those makes 1 3/4 tsp, which would amount to about 4500 mg potassium. That gives about 100 mg potassium per serving (1/48 of the total)
- 1/2 tsp magnesium glycinate provides about 200 mg magnesium (per the Best Naturals brand of powder), so 1/48 of that gives about 4 mg magnesium per serving .)

For comparison, the values for these electrolytes present in 32 oz servings of commercial products "Keto Chow", "Keto Lyte" and "Ionic Lytes" are all about the same, at 125 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium, 45 mg magnesium, and 300 mg chloride. So, I think your mixture has way too much sodium and way too little magnesium. The potassium content seems to be in the right ballpark though.
