Hydration Multiplier
by Liquid I.V. · Budget hydration mix
Lower sodium per stick (500 mg) and added sugar — the alternative when the LMNT salt level is too much for a sedentary day.
500mg sodium, 370mg potassium, plus 11g added sugar per stick. The sugar is the tradeoff: the sodium dose is lower than the premium category, and the sugar load runs counter to most GLP-1 eating patterns. A reasonable option for someone who struggles with plain water and can tolerate the carbs, but not a first choice when minimizing sugar matters.
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.
