Electrolyte Powder (LMNT-style)

Sodium, potassium, and magnesium together drive cellular fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction. When you lose them through GI side effects, water alone doesn't replace them — you can drink plenty and still feel washed-out because the electrolyte gradients aren't restored. A high-dose stick drink saturates faster than food can.

1 stick in 16–32 oz water on injection day and following 48 hours.

Start drinking it the morning of injection day. If side effects hit hard (nausea, fatigue), use a stick the next morning too. On heavy training days during the cycle, one before workout. Don't drink late evening — the sodium can interfere with sleep.

• Lightheaded standing up after sitting
• Headache that resolves after a salty meal
• Cramps in calves or feet, especially at night
• Fatigue that comes on suddenly mid-day
• Brain fog after sweating heavily

• Lightheadedness on standing resolves within minutes of drinking
• Cramps stop within an hour
• Energy levels stabilize through the day
• Workout tolerance returns to normal

• Using cheap sports drinks instead — most have ~1/4 the sodium and 1/2 the potassium needed
• Drinking without enough water — concentrated electrolytes need volume to dilute
• Taking it daily long-term if hypertensive — 1g+ sodium per stick adds up
• Picking sweet flavors while nauseous — triggers more nausea
