I've been using table salt for sodium, CALM powder for magnesium citrate, and purchased NOW brand potassium chloride powder to have a source of potassium. However, I'm realizing that I'm getting chloride from the table salt AND the potassium chloride...
It's relatively hard to get potassium chloride and magnesium sulphate where I live. I am about to order some online, but it might take 3-5 days for delivery. However I want to get started on my fast immediately, so I've made...
Anyone know why Cole Robinson places so much emphasis on potassium chloride over other forms of potassium?
This [Nutrition Made Simple video "The Best Salt According to Science"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_Fu-dwHA0M) says that it is. In the YouTube description box, there are a bunch of cited studies, but, honestly, I'm not 100% sure it's worth my time to read all...
Hi folks. For convenience I figured I'd get the ratios of the ingredients and make up a jar of powder to scoop from to easily and quickly make snake juice. The only problem I see with this is that the...
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here for their support. I just ended a 20-day fast today. Started at 285 lbs, down to 253 lbs. (Height 6'1"). My only concern was over electrolytes. I had never gone without food this...
Hello, I am watching [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1onQ0nxgWFM&t=216s&ab_channel=SnakeDiet) video. The amount in teaspoons is not adding up to the weight he listed in mg. For example, he says to use 1 tsp or 2560 mg of potassium chloride powder, but one tsp of...
Hello everyone, I've been reading this Subreddit and posts with similar problems, but never quite the same as mine. To the point. Around day 3-4, my right thigh starts to "ache". It's always the same area, the same leg...

So I was thinking about drinks like Gatorade and Powerade. Both claim to help with rehydration especially for athletes. I know that drinks like the two brands I mentioned have electrolytes that aid in rehydration. I was wondering what the...
Lo Salt is the best electrolyte supplement with no useless additives. Lo salt has all natural potassium chloride, sodium, and magnesium, all 0 calories which will not stop Autophagy. I think its the easiest way to start safe longterm water...
I want to fast mainly for concentration and self-discipline, which I've seen people say that those effects kick in about 3 days into a fast. I can easily do 24 hours of fasting, but it gets significantly harder after that....

Hi everyone. I’ve started doing rolling 72s and have managed to go from 94kg to 88.5kg in the span of 6 days. I’m currently at the tail end of a 96 hour fast - breaking it in 4 hours. My...
So i am trying to make my own electrolyte supplements and the faq on this sub is probably the most helpful i've found. I am in New Zealand and it's damned infuriating looking for guides and only really finding US...

My last calories consumed was at 8:00pm CST, Sunday 2022/Jan/9th. I started by completely eliminating caffeine (drinking exclusively plain water) a week prior (started on Jan/3) so all the discomfort and headaches were out of the way before I started the...
So I have embarked on multiple fasts, the most being 10 days 3 times. Only one of these fasts (i’ve done about 10 that passed 72 hours) went along with me not feeling weak, “tired”, fatigued, and nauseous because on...

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...

I've bought into the science that when you deprive yourself of water, your body makes water (like a camel) from your fat. The more fat you have...the longer you can go. I have read multiple studies that indicate sodium, potassium,...
hi everyone, I am somewhat of a beginner faster. I haven’t fasted for over 26 hours but I really wanna get into 72+ our fast. My only concern is if I follow the snake juice program, is that all you...
Taken from Google: The recommended potassium intake for an average adult is 4,700 milligrams (mg) per day. Look at your typical potassium supplement…a measly 2% of our daily is the average amount in pill form. Thinking about where potassium can be found…it...
I bought some electrolyte supplements yesterday and they contain 400mg Potassium as well as 400mg magnesium. The packaging says one pill a day. Since 400 mg is way too little I’m asking if it’s okay if I took more than...

This is my first time trying this and it tastes like Poseidon is cumming in my mouth. I'm using: 1 liter of water 1/4 tsp of Himalayan sea salt 1/2 tsp baking soda (Brookshires didn't have the other stuff, I'm ordering it from Amazon)
I am looking for an electrolyte product on Amazon, and every product has at least some 1-star reviews stating everything from "horrible taste" to "I've been vomiting for 12 hours." I'm starting down the path of just buying pure Sodium, Potassium...
It’s been a couple of years since I had Snake Juice, and I know Cole has refined the recipe a few times. So, what’s the latest?
So I started out with a dry fast which I broke last night (72 hrs). I broke my fast with the snake juice last night and have been drinking today as well (noon now). Since I broke my fast I...

The question pretty much states it. Spring Valley K supplements only suggest 1 tablet per day, and it only fulfills 2% of the DV. It's ~90mg.
