Important Warnings and Cautions
⚠️ DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED DOSE:
-
Do not exceed 5 scoops within a 24-hour period (as stated on label).
- Excessive electrolyte intake (especially sodium, potassium, magnesium) can cause serious health issues (see warnings below).
❌ DO NOT USE IF:
- You are pregnant or nursing (consult physician first)
- You are under the age of 18 (consult physician first)
- You have a known medical condition (consult physician first)
- You have kidney disease or impaired kidney function (electrolyte supplementation can be dangerous for individuals with kidney impairment)
- You have heart disease, high blood pressure, or cardiovascular conditions (sodium and potassium supplementation may worsen these conditions)
- You have hyperkalemia (high potassium levels) or are taking potassium-sparing diuretics or ACE inhibitors (can cause dangerously high potassium)
- You have hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) or kidney stones
- You have diabetes (consult physician first — artificial sweeteners and polydextrose may affect blood sugar or digestive tolerance)
🩺 CONSULT A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL BEFORE USE IF YOU:
- Are taking prescription medications (especially diuretics, blood pressure medications, heart medications, potassium supplements, calcium supplements)
- Have electrolyte imbalances (hyponatremia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hyperkalemia, etc.)
- Have gastrointestinal disorders (IBS, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis) — polydextrose (prebiotic fiber) may cause digestive upset
- Have phenylketonuria (PKU) or other metabolic disorders
- Are on a sodium-restricted diet (for heart failure, kidney disease, hypertension)
- Are taking other supplements containing B vitamins, electrolytes, or minerals (to avoid excessive intake)
- Have a history of kidney stones (calcium and high sodium intake may increase risk)
⚠️ POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS:
Electrolyte Imbalances (from excessive intake):
-
Sodium: Fluid retention, high blood pressure, swelling, headaches
-
Potassium: Hyperkalemia (high potassium) — symptoms include irregular heartbeat, muscle weakness, nausea, chest pain (can be life-threatening)
-
Calcium: Hypercalcemia (high calcium) — symptoms include nausea, vomiting, confusion, kidney stones, heart rhythm problems
-
Magnesium: Diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea (high doses have a laxative effect)
B Vitamins (from excessive intake):
-
Niacin (B3): "Niacin flush" — skin redness, warmth, tingling, itching (especially at high doses)
-
Vitamin B6: Nerve damage (neuropathy) with chronic high-dose use
-
Folate: May mask Vitamin B12 deficiency (which can cause irreversible neurological damage)
Artificial Sweeteners (Sucralose):
- Digestive upset, bloating, gas, diarrhea in sensitive individuals
- Some individuals report headaches or other reactions (though sucralose is generally well-tolerated)
Prebiotic Fiber (Polydextrose):
- Gas, bloating, stomach cramps, diarrhea (especially when consumed in large amounts or by individuals with sensitive digestive systems)
🚨 CRITICAL WARNINGS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH KIDNEY DISEASE:
Electrolyte supplementation can be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for individuals with kidney disease or impaired kidney function. Healthy kidneys regulate electrolyte balance by excreting excess amounts. If kidney function is compromised, electrolytes (especially potassium, magnesium, and sodium) can accumulate to dangerous levels, causing:
-
Hyperkalemia (high potassium) — can cause fatal heart rhythm disturbances
-
Fluid overload (from sodium) — worsens heart failure and edema
-
Hypercalcemia — can worsen kidney function
If you have kidney disease, consult a nephrologist (kidney specialist) before using this or any electrolyte supplement.
🚨 CRITICAL WARNINGS FOR INDIVIDUALS ON BLOOD PRESSURE OR HEART MEDICATIONS:
Potassium supplementation can interact with:
-
ACE inhibitors (lisinopril, enalapril, etc.)
-
ARBs (losartan, valsartan, etc.)
-
Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene)
These medications cause the body to retain potassium. Adding potassium supplementation (even from electrolyte drinks) can cause hyperkalemia (dangerously high potassium levels), leading to irregular heartbeat, cardiac arrest, or death.
If you are taking any of these medications, DO NOT use this product without medical supervision.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the safety seal is broken or missing. Secure lid tightly when not in use. Consume within 90 days of opening.

Understanding Electrolyte Supplementation
What Are Electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in body fluids (blood, sweat, urine). The major electrolytes include:
-
Sodium — regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve/muscle function
-
Potassium — supports heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and nerve signals
-
Calcium — essential for bone health, muscle contractions, and nerve transmission
-
Magnesium — supports muscle and nerve function, energy production, and bone health
Why Supplement with Electrolytes?
Electrolytes are lost through:
-
Sweat (during exercise, hot weather, physical labor)
-
Urine (especially with diuretic medications or high fluid intake)
-
Illness (vomiting, diarrhea)
Electrolyte drinks are commonly used to:
- Support hydration during prolonged physical activity (endurance sports, intense training)
- Replace electrolytes lost through excessive sweating
- Support recovery from dehydration due to illness or heat exposure
Important Considerations:
-
Most people do NOT need electrolyte supplementation — a balanced diet provides adequate electrolytes for typical daily activity.
-
Electrolyte drinks are most beneficial for: Endurance athletes (running, cycling, triathlons), individuals exercising intensely for >60-90 minutes, those in hot/humid climates, or individuals recovering from dehydration due to illness.
-
Short or moderate exercise does NOT require electrolyte supplementation — water is sufficient for most workouts under 60 minutes.
-
Excessive electrolyte intake can be dangerous — especially for individuals with kidney disease, heart conditions, or those taking certain medications.
-
Sodium content varies widely — this product does not disclose sodium content per serving, making it difficult to assess appropriateness for individuals on sodium-restricted diets or those with hypertension.
