Hello to everyone!
I often read about electrolytes and also baking soda, which is why I searched the Internet for electrolyte supplements in Germany.
An online store where I also buy other supplements, offers a supplement in liquid form.
It is called “MEGA MAG TRACE MINERALS”. It is ionic magnesium with over 60 other minerals and trace elements. You drip 55 drops into a 1 liter bottle.
My question is: Does this provide enough electrolytes?
This is what the website says about the supplement:
100% natural trace element concentrate from the Great Utah Salt Lake.
Ingredients per daily dose (2.5ml, 55 drops)
magnesium 250mg
Chloride 650mg
Sodium 5.0mg
Potassium 3.0mg
Sulfate 40mg
Lithium 1,5mg
Boron 1,0mg
Iodine 35µg
To illustrate the content: According to the manufacturer’s laboratory analysis, the following minerals and trace elements were contained, including antimony, barium, boron, bromine, calcium, cerium, cesium, chloride, chromium, cobalt, dysprosium, iron, erbium, europium, fluoride, gadolinium, gallium, germanium, gold, hafnium, holmium, indium, iridium, iodine, potassium, carbon, copper, lanthanum, lithium, lutetium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, sodium, neodymium, nickel, niobium, osmium, phosphorus, platinum, praesodymium, rhenium, rhodium, rubidium, ruthenium, samarium, scandium, sulfur, selenium, silicon, silver, strontium, tantalum, tellurium, terbium, titanium, thorium, thulium, vanadium, tungsten, ytterbium, yttrium, tin, zirconium and zinc.
I’m not an expert on fasting, so take this with a grain of salt (pun intended), but that seems unnecessarily excessive.Someone correct me if I’m wrong.
Just look up the recipe for “snake juice” and make some of that. It’s only 3-4 ingredients (plus water, of course).
Seems a bit excessive. The only things you really need to worry about to keep yourself from refeed syndrome are sodium, potassium, phosphate(chloride), magnesium, and calcium.
You’ll probably get most of them from eating a piece of chicken anyways or simply drinking some bone broth. Personally I would get a simple electrolyte drink that will contain magnesium chloride sodium and probably potassium then go for a cup of broth and an avocado. These won’t spike your insulin will give your body everything it needs when coming off a fast.
