Fasting Salts

Electrolyte ratios in our Fasting Salts reflect the recommendations of leading experts on fasting, as well as best practices developed by online fasting communities.

The commonly recommended daily quantities for extended fasting fall within the following ranges:

Sodium: 5000-7000mg
Potassium: 1000-3500mg
Magnesium: 300-500mg

We wanted to design a product without any fillers, bulkers or other junk. The only way to do that was to use Sodium as a base. We also had to stay well within the safe upper limits for supplementation.

We came up with the following formulation:

Sodium: 5135mg
Potassium: 2500mg
Magnesium: 300mg

These quantities fit all the recommendations regarding electrolyte supplementation for fasting, as well as safety regulations – plus enables us to achieve our aim of a filler-free powder.

Daily Values (DV) guidelines were developed for a “standard” Western diet. They are extremely generic even for that purpose, implying that “one size fits all” nutritionally. They are completely off when applied to alternative WOEs like Keto and fasting.

For example, many vitamins and minerals are used for digesting and metabolising macronutrients – not required if you fast.

It’s a legal requirement to include DVs on supplement labels. But they are really not that meaningful when it comes to fasting or Keto.

This product is designed for Extended Fasting. Many of our customers do occasional EF, then revert to IF and/or Keto as their default way of eating. So if you have some product left after your extended fast, you can continue using it in smaller dosages to support IF or Keto.

If you don’t practice extended fasting at all, you can get a less concentrated product with lower sodium content. Please check out our Keto Electrolytes capsules.

This product is completely free from flavourings and additives. The only ingredients are pure electrolyte salts.

And that’s exactly what it tastes like – just like any other salt dissolved in water!

We recommend starting with 1 scoop of powder per 500ml of water. If that’s too salty for you, increase the amount of water – that will not affect the efficacy of the powder.

If you find the taste too unpleasant, try our Fasting Salts capsules.

Any electrolyte supplement can potentially cause digestive upset, especially during extended fasting. Your system is very vulnerable and can be disrupted even by standard table salt.

To minimise the chance of this happening, please follow our recommendations on how to take this supplement. Do not exceed stated dose.

If you do experience digestive upset, try taking half a scoop at a time.

If you are taking this product for Keto or Intermittent Fasting, you are unlikely to experience any digestive upset.

If you feel this supplement is not working out for you, please contact us and get a full refund under our 60-day money back guarantee.

All three ingredients in this supplement are pure salts.

Larger salt crystals may take a bit longer to dissolve.

Using warm water or sparkling water should help to dissolve them faster.

Stirring with a spoon or using a protein drink shaker also helps.

There should be a 5ml scoop included within each pot.

Sometimes it might get lost in the powder  – please fish around in the pot and you should find it.

In the unlikely event that your scoop is missing, you can use a standard teaspoon instead.

One 5ml scoop of the powder = One level teaspoon

4 scoops is the maximum daily dosage.

You may need all four – or you may only need one of two.

We are all different and there are other factors at play – for example, the duration of your fast, how much electrolytes you got stored in your body, whether your drinking water contains electrolytes and so forth.

If you are fasting for the first time, start with 1-2 scoops per day. If you still get the symptoms of electrolyte deficiency, take another one.

Listen to your body and find the level that’s right for you individually.
