Buying Guide
Mixing notes: follow the label
Follow the label directions. The label gives how much product to use and how much water to mix it with. This page does not give amounts, dilution or timing; follow the label.
Check the amounts. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and sugar differ a lot between products. Compare the amounts per serving on each label, and ask a doctor or pharmacist before using an electrolyte product if you have high blood pressure, kidney or heart problems, take medication, or have been told to limit salt or potassium.
Watch for side effects. If a product upsets your stomach or you feel unwell after using it, stop using it and contact your health care provider. If a sweetener bothers you, choose by the ingredient list.

Frequently Asked Questions ▾
What makes an electrolyte “clean”?
“Clean” is not a regulated term. This page uses label checks instead: the ingredient list, the sweetener, any added sugar and dyes, and the amounts of sodium, potassium and magnesium per serving. Choose by the label rather than the word.
Who should use an electrolyte product?
This page cannot say. Needs differ with health, diet, medication and activity. If you have headaches, lightheadedness, vomiting, diarrhea or other symptoms that concern you, contact a doctor rather than trying a product. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using electrolyte products if you have a health condition or take medication.
Do electrolyte products contain sugar?
Some do and some do not; the label lists sugar and sweeteners per serving. If you are managing diabetes or limiting sugar, ask a doctor or dietitian which products suit you.
How much sodium should I look for?
This page does not recommend a sodium amount. Products differ widely, and the right amount depends on your health, diet, medication and activity. The label lists sodium per serving; ask a doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have been told to limit sodium.
Can I drink electrolytes every day?
This page cannot say. Daily use adds sodium, potassium or other minerals to your diet in amounts that differ by product. If you have high blood pressure, kidney or heart concerns, take medication, or have been told to limit sodium or potassium, check with your doctor or pharmacist before using one regularly. Also count the caffeine and sweeteners in other products you use.

Before you use any of these
Follow the directions on the label, and if you have side effects, stop using the product and contact your health care provider. Many supplements have not been tested in pregnant women, nursing mothers or children, and some can interact with medicines or matter before surgery, so check with a doctor or pharmacist first.
Independent testing programs such as USP and NSF publish their own standards. If a testing mark matters to you, look up the exact product in the program's own listing rather than relying on a label or a web page.
Electrolyte mixes contain sodium, potassium or magnesium in amounts that differ by product. If you have kidney, heart or blood pressure problems or have been told to limit salt or potassium, ask a doctor or pharmacist before using one.
