Same salts,
a fraction of the packet.
A $1.50 electrolyte packet is mostly salt you can buy in bulk for pennies. Tell us what you drink now and what you want out of it, and we’ll suggest the blend — and show what it saves.
Beta Electrolytes are our newest calculator and still in beta — the blends are starting points built from published bulk-ingredient prices, not prescriptions, and the numbers may change as we refine them.
What you buy out now — the spending we compare against.

Counted against your at-home cost for the whole projection.
Why you drink them — and the blend that matches.
3 What do you want electrolytes for?
Sodium needs swing by 3× between sitting at a desk and sweating through a long run, so this is the input that actually shapes the recipe. Pick the closest — you can change it any time.
Costs are per 16 oz serving, mixed from bulk salts with tartness and sweetener included. Nothing here is fixed: Custom blend lets you set every dose yourself.
