How to make LMNT's electrolyte drink mix at homeUpdated an hour ago

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 kitchen scale:

  • 2,500 mg sodium chloride (for 1,000 mg sodium)
  • 385 mg potassium chloride (for 200 mg potassium)
  • 390 mg magnesium malate OR 265 mg di-magnesium malate (for 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 the electrolytes above as a base to create your own recipes (add your own flavor), or simply follow this guide to recreate 4 of our most popular flavors.
