As many regular Electrolyte Balance® users are aware, this product was designed for daily consumption, and its constitution requires it be shaken daily to maintain optimum emulsification.  We received feedback from some 6-pack buyers that the solids were separating and hardening in the bottles of product which were not actively being used.  Though the product can be revived with vigorous shaking, we want our customers to avoid this inconvenience and confusion, thus we discontinued that option.  The good news is that the 2-pack format has proven to be the optimum option for our regular EB consumers.

No, They are not; the powder requires carbonated water to activate, and the liquid has already achieved the reaction and therefore is not carbonated.

This product is designed to be consumed daily. Since it must be shaken before consumption, it should never clump up. Leaving the product unshaken for more than a week may result in such clumping. If the product is not more than a month old and has clumped up, you can generally use the handle of a utensil or chopstick to loosen the clumped product and shake it well.

Yes, at first. The odor will go away shortly. It is due to the presence of magnesium.

No, this is not a necessity. Some prefer it to be cold and would only be refrigerated for flavor enhancement.

The effect is the same from both versions of the product. Our Electrolyte Balance® powder is designed to be mixed with carbonated water, while the liquid Electrolyte Balance® is to be taken with non-carbonated, preferably PristineHydro® water, or the cleanest water you have access to. The key benefit of the powder is its long shelf life and portability vs. transporting liquid.

The average adult dosage is 1-2 oz a day; for a child, it would be a half dosage; however, we recommend you consult your pediatrician as to what's best, especially for children five years of age and younger.

Many customers have told us that Electrolyte Balance® has helped with constipation; we recommend you ask your doctor what's best for you.

Many of our expecting mothers have told us that Electrolyte Balance® has helped with their cramps, morning sickness, and sleep; we recommend you ask your doctor what's best for you.

We package using PET plastic, a safe and sustainable alternative to glass for shipped orders to avoid breakage, unwanted chemical reaction if bottles experience extreme heat or cold during shipping, and to reduce its carbon footprint by reducing weight and packing materials.

Yes! We've recently completed the in-depth testing/certification program with BSCG. PristineHydro® is committed to quality control above and beyond dietary supplement standards... Our Electrolyte Balance® Powder and Liquid are certified for use by anyone concerned about product approval within their respective sport testing program/organization. 

The BSCG Certified Drug Free®  program tests each lot for BSCG’s industry-leading drug-testing menu covering more than 491 banned substances, including 287 on the WADA Prohibited List and 204 other illicit, OTC, or prescription drugs. Our testing covers more drugs banned in sport than any other program in the world and is the only one to add coverage for drugs not banned in sport for additional health and regulatory protection. The WADA Prohibited List governs Olympic sport and also serves as a model for sport federations, professional sport leagues, and military/vocational drug-testing programs, which ban many of the compounds on the WADA Prohibited List. As a result, BSCG’s industry-leading drug-testing menu offers security to athletes and professionals across the spectrum of WADA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, WNBA, PGA, LPGA, MLS, ATP, WTA, FIFA, FINA, AFL, NRL, NASCAR, UFC, CrossFit, NCAA, military, law enforcement, and other drug testing programs.

Magnesium bicarbonate is necessary for the “spark of life”. The brain and the heart which both produce lots of magneto-electrical activity are very sensitive to levels of magnesium bicarbonate.

Bicarbonate is a substance called a base, which the body needs to help keep a normal acid-base (pH) balance. This balance prevents your body from becoming too acidic, which can cause many health problems. The lungs and kidneys keep a normal blood pH by removing excess acid (via Kidney.org).

It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, plays a role in bone growth, supports the energy metabolism and helps in the maintenance of a normal balance in water and mineral concentrations in the human body.

Start by drinking 4oz of the ElectrolyteBalance® Magnesium Bicarbonate water on an empty stomach over a 20 minute period twice a day. The magnesium bicarbonate is very alkaline so avoid drinking it with food because it will neutralize your stomach acid affecting digestion.

Magnesium plays an important role in keeping your heart healthy and strong. In fact, studies show that magnesium supplements can help lower high blood pressure levels, which may be a risk factor for heart disease via (PubMed.Gov).

There are many studies showing the positive impact magnesium supplements have on sleeping disorders. Making it easier to fall asleep and improve sleep quality. Magnesium plays such an important role within the nervous system, helping to activate mechanisms that quiet and calm you. It has also been shown to help relieve anxiety and depression, which can interfere with sleep. NOTE: The majority of the studies conducted have been done on older adults, so like most all things - there is always room for continued research on the matter. If you have difficulties sleeping and are looking for something that solves PRECISELY this one thing; definitely consult your private practitioner or trusted physician who knows you intimately; your health history and any other dynamics within your personal life that may be contributing to this matter.

Re: Why Electrolyte Balance® OR Why Magnesium Bicarbonate? The benefits above are benefits of MAGNESIUM (not exclusive to Magnesium Bicarbonate); Mag Bicarbonate is just the most bio-available form of Magnesium, but any way you can effectively get Magnesium into your body will deliver the same results…
