What does it taste like?

The only ingredients in this product are pure unflavoured electrolyte salts - so it does taste salty! You can add more water to reduce the salty taste. The amount of water doesn't change the efficacy.

Quick tip from our customers: to reduce the saltiness, mix the powder with sparkling water and add a few drops of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.

And if you still really dislike the taste, try our new Fasting Salts capsules.

Do I have to take 4 scoops per day?

4 scoops per day is the maximum upper limit per day for Extended Fasting. Most people only need 2-3 scoops. For IF/Keto, the dosage is much smaller, up to 1 scoop per day.

We are all different. Your exact electrolyte requirements depend on your genetics, lifestyle, electrolyte content of your drinking water and many other factors. That's why we provide the guideline dosage as a range. You can find your own optimal level within that range based on how you feel.

Can it cause digestive upset?

The answer is yes - because that's the case for ALL electrolyte supplements during fasting.

Your digestive system is extremely sensitive during your fast. So even standard table salt can potentially cause digestive upset.

If that happens, try reducing the dosage. Remember to drink plenty of water - at least 500ml per scoop and try to drink it slowly over a period of time rather than all at once.

Why did you choose magnesium citrate?

Magnesium citrate is one of the preferred options for electrolyte supplementation within the fasting community. It is recommended by many experts and support groups.

For us, it was the optimal choice based on its bioavailability, shelf life, ratio strength and water solubility. Magnesium citrate can have a laxative effect, but it requires much higher dosages. If you would prefer a version without Magnesium Citrate, try our Fasting Salts Advanced formulation which uses Magnesium Glycinate instead.

Why are NRVs in this product different to standard supplements?

Nutritional Reference Values (NRVs) 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 when you fast. It's a legal requirement to include NRVs on supplement labels. But they don't really mean much when it comes to fasting or Keto.

Are Fasting Salts suitable for Keto and Intermittent Fasting?

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 a lower sodium content. Please check out our Keto Electrolytes capsules.
