Ever feel more drained after hydrating?

A week ago, my colleagues and I were discussing the use of electrolytes, what brands they loved and why.

Water alone might not be enough—especially if you’re missing key electrolytes. What’s your go-to for staying balanced: coconut water, mineral drops, DIY mixes?

Let’s compare notes—what’s worked for you? :salt::droplet:

All of my patients are using ReLyte with great success

Here in Texas, a couple hours of yard work can wipe me out - I’ve lost 2 pounds easily mowing the yard (just in water loss). So, I drink my homemade electrolyte - measurements are approximate:

2 cup water

1 tsp No Salt (potassium)

1 tsp Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate)

1 tsp pink Himalayan salt

heaping tablespoon of sugar

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

I mix 1 cup of the above with water and ice in a big cup (like a Tervis) - so I get 2 servings with the above mixture.

It makes a big difference on how I feel after the yard work!!

Since the tap water was fluoridated a few years ago, I drink filtered tap water using a Ceramic water filter candle made in Britain and, coconut water which costs about $4. a litre. I was reading recently that of all the filter jugs, Brita was the only filter to remove aluminium from water.

I have been using alot of products from Isagenix over the past 18 years and their hydration powder is the best! It’s called Hydrate + and contains no sugar (so zero calories!) and also contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to support skin health. I love it and since I live in Australia where you can sweat a good deal when exercising, I always feel energised after drinking it!
