Homemade Electrolytes

 

A Science-Backed Quantity of Electrolytes

In the many years we spent mixing electrolyte drinks at home before LMNT existed, we made many messes and had quite a few misses, but we also came up with several great recipes. If you prefer to source your own electrolytes instead buying LMNT, jot this down and grab a scale:

• 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

These are the same science-backed electrolyte amounts and ratios in each grab-and-go stick pack of LMNT. It’s the equivalent of our simplest product: LMNT Raw Unflavored. You can use this as a base to create your own recipes, or simply follow the guides below to recreate 4 of our most popular flavors.
