⚡ DIY Electrolytes Beta

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.

1 Your electrolyte habit

How many electrolyte drinks a day or week? Tap Edit prices to match what your packets cost.

2 Fine-tune upkeep

There is no equipment to maintain here, so upkeep is close to nothing. Edit it if you like.

Total ongoing upkeep $0/mo

Counted against your at-home cost for the whole projection.

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.
