Electrolyte Ingredients

Bulk food-grade electrolyte ingredients — the minerals and amino acids used to build electrolyte drinks, sports beverages and hydration powders from scratch. Potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, magnesium citrate, malate and bisglycinate chelate, calcium citrate, carbonate and lactate, zinc citrate, sea salt and Himalayan pink salt. Amino acid options include taurine, glycine, L-tyrosine, leucine, isoleucine, arginine and alanine.

For manufacturers: the mineral salts used to set the sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium profile of a formulation — plus xanthan gum, microcrystalline cellulose, inulin, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate for texture and shelf life. Formats run from 1 kg up to 25 kg depending on the ingredient, with spec sheets on many product pages and spec sheets or COAs on request.

For home users: mix your own hydration powder instead of buying pre-made sticks. Coconut water powder, potassium citrate and sodium citrate dissolve readily in cold water; calcium and zinc salts disperse better in a warm or acidic base. Use a precision scale (0.01 g) and start from a published formulation.
