Electrolyte Powder
by Dr. Berg · Budget low-sugar electrolyte
50 mg Na, 1000 mg K, 120 mg Mg per scoop — an unusually high-potassium, low-sodium profile. Fits someone already salting food heavily.
50mg sodium, 1,000mg potassium, 120mg magnesium per scoop. An unusual profile: much lower sodium, much higher potassium than the rest of this list. That ratio is a better fit for someone already salting food heavily. No sugar, stevia-sweetened. Reasonable if the high-potassium profile matches what's missing from your diet; not a first pick for most GLP-1 users.
On a GLP-1, the problem usually isn't the drug itself, it's that you're eating and drinking less, so sodium, potassium, and magnesium intake fall along with your appetite. That shortfall is behind a lot of the first-month fatigue, headaches, and light-headedness people describe. The Ozempic and Wegovy prescribing information both flag dehydration and electrolyte imbalance as watchpoints, especially when nausea or vomiting is in the picture.
Most people sip an electrolyte drink in the morning and again mid-afternoon, when the slump tends to hit hardest. During a nauseous spell, small sips every 15 to 20 minutes stay down better than gulping. If you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, or take a blood-pressure medication, run the sodium and potassium dose past your prescriber before starting.
