These electrolytes taste so amazing!

When I first had them I instantly thought of the taste of your favorite sports drinks which was surprising because most electrolytes don’t have the best taste. When taking these electrolytes, I felt relaxation in my back muscles where I have been feeling some tightness. I was able to stretch out and felt strong after consuming Dr. Ben’s electrolytes!!† ~Noble Simms

It takes only a 1% loss of water to create symptoms of dehydration.

Attention, concentration, memory and overall mental processing speed are all negatively affected by just a 1% loss of hydration.

Assess each statement below. If you can relate to one or more, then Optimal Electrolyte may be the electrolyte supplement you need†:

  • I have been drinking high sodium electrolytes which are causing me to experience water retention and bloat.
  • Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation are negatively affecting me. I hear that hydration supports a healthy histamine response and healthy histamine levels.
  • No matter what electrolyte I try, I tend to cramp. I would like to find an electrolyte that supports healthy muscle contraction and muscle relaxation.
  • I tend to wake up at night and pee. I would like to sleep throughout the night.
  • I drink water and find that I need to go pee right away. I would like to drink water and not pee so frequently.
  • I'm looking for a healthy, great-tasting electrolyte to add to our filtered water to encourage my family and me to drink more water. We don't like plain water and need flavor to stay hydrated. I often get headaches from dehydration, so a tasty, healthy electrolyte is essential.
  • I frequently consume caffeinated beverages, soda, flavored water, juice, or alcohol, but I want to replace these with a low-calorie, healthy, effective, and great-tasting electrolyte option that helps with hydration and has fewer carbs and sugar than coconut water.
  • I would like to experience a consistent, rhythmic heartbeat.
  • I often get headaches especially if I don’t hydrate. I would like to support healthy hydration so my head feels healthy.
  • I’m taking diuretics, albuterol, laxatives, or insulin. My doctor says I need to support healthy hydration and support healthy potassium levels.
  • I’m overweight. I heard recently that having a higher proportion of body fat to muscle mass leads to lower total body water content.
  • My legs tend to spasm and move involuntarily at night. I would like to support healthy sleep and muscle function.
  • I travel a lot by plane and experience fatigue after flying. Airplanes tend to dehydrate me due to the very low humidity in the cabin. I need to support healthy hydration while flying.
  • I’m pregnant and will be breast feeding. I need to support healthy hydration for me, and my baby..
  • I live in a windy, dry or sunny environment. I know I’m losing a lot of water through my skin.
  • I’m looking for a stevia-free, sugar-free and citric acid-free electrolyte.
Key Ingredients

Inside the Uncompromising Quality of Our Ingredients

  • Sodium as real Himalayan Pink Salt & Potassium
    The ocean is full of microplastics, making sea salt high risk. We opted to use this great-tasting and pure salt from ancient caves instead. Certificate of analysis confirms this is a high-quality salt which also contains trace minerals.†
  • PeakATP®
    A trademarked form of ATP, your body's primary energy source. It supports blood flow, strength, power and performance during exercise, as well as recovery from fatigue.†
  • Niacin
    Vitamin B3 is a building block for NAD+, which are essential in the Krebs cycle for energy production. It also supports circulation, MTRR enzyme function, healthy lipid levels and joint lubrication.†
  • Magnesium
    An essential mineral that supports over 400 enzymes in the body. Magnesium promotes a positive mood, healthy muscle and nerve function, and hormone balance. It is also a Cofactor for the COMT enzyme supporting dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine metabolism.†
  • Taurine
    An amino acid that supports hydration, muscle strength, endurance and Phase 2 liver detoxification.†
  • Potassium
    99% of people are deficient in potassium which is why we have so much more potassium than sodium. We use potassium bicarbonate to support healthy overall alkaline pH as exercise increases acidity. †
  • Creatine
    supports healthy hydration of muscles. The combination of creatine + PeakATP® also supports healthy sport performance. ††

Proper hydration is second to breathing in terms of importance to sustain a healthy life.

The rules of 3 determine how important it is to use Optimal Electrolyte on a daily basis.

One cannot sustain life when:

  • 3 minutes without air.
  • 3 days without water.
  • 3 weeks without food.

Depending on what I do in a day, my usage of Optimal Electrolyte varies

  1. Every morning, I don’t eat breakfast right away, Instead, I properly hydrate by sipping a glass of Optimal Electrolyte over a period of about 30 minutes. I drink it while in the office.
  2. If I sauna, I sip a serving during the session.
  3. If I go to the gym, I will take a sip from my water bottle between sets while working out.
  4. If I feel that water later in the afternoon is not cutting it, I will have another serving. Typically, the trigger for me to go prepare some electrolytes is when my head feels fuzzy and cognition is slower than desired.

If you find yourself sweating a lot, you may want to add a pinch of salt to your electrolytes. I do this if I have a heavy sweating sauna or exercise session.

Typically, you do not need, and shouldn’t, add more salt to your electrolytes - only if you’re sweating profusely. You usually get more than sufficient sodium in your diet.

Be sure to sip, and hold, then swallow. Do not chug your electrolytes. Absorption is so much better by following these suggestions.

Kids do not stop to drink water. They’re too busy and distracted. As a father, I always prepare a glass of Optimal Electrolyte for my boys and walk it over to them. Ideally, prepare their water bottle for school and sports with a serving of Optimal Electrolyte.

If you prepared a water bottle full of Optimal Electrolyte and you haven’t finished it, put it in the fridge. It will be good for a couple days. I do this at times when I feel I don’t want to finish it.

Some quick tips:

  1. Don’t like the Fizz? Simply stir and let it sit for a bit longer before you drink. The carbon dioxide reaction will burn itself out within a minute or two tops.
  2. Too sweet? Simply add more filtered water.
  3. Not flavorful enough? Simply add less filtered water.
  4. Get a headache from drinking it? You’re drinking too much too fast. Slow down and drink less of it. Perhaps you only need ½ a serving or simply drink it over a longer period of time. Drink upon waking in the morning, drink it away from food or only when exercising.
  5. Irritable when drinking? Drink ½ serving upon waking up in the morning or while working out. Drink away from food and drink over time - not quickly.
  6. Loose stools or gut discomfort? This is likely due to the creatine. Drink upon waking up in the morning, sip over time or drink it prior to exercise as exercise increases stomach acid. Drink between meals not with food.

    Needs improvement

    I LOVE the quality of these electrolytes. In fact, all of SH products are super high quality. However, if I am honest all the products that have a flavor (lozenge, liquid, or the powders) are seriously lacking in flavor. I know that they try to make them without sugar (HUGE! plus), however, they have not perfected the tastes. Sadly, while I buy these for my family and I recommend them as a provider, they are NOT the best taste and therefore are subpar to other quality electrolytes on the market. I hope you are able to improve the taste. Maybe try monk fruit instead of the other sweeteners. We will still buy as the product is still super quality.
