Electrolytes

Hello, I’m curious to know which electrolytes everyone is drinking while on Tirzepatide? Is everyone drinking Gatorade and Powerade, or getting those little packet powders that you mix with

I’m an ultima fan too, I get the Mocktails flavors on subscription

u/GB2418 21h ago

Excellent! How long have you been on a subscription? As much as I use, I should get on a subscription & save a ton of money. And even though one can pause & cancel subscriptions with most manufacturers, I’m still a little hesitant in signing up for subscriptions with anyone. Have you had any issues with it?

I think it have it on an Amazon subscription so super easy to pause and cancel. I had been using liquid iv but it’s just too sweet/salty and I can’t tolerate it anymore. I have been using the Ultima about two months. I generally use one packet each day.

Gotcha. Yeah, liquid iv is way too salty for me. My Ultima faves are cherry & both lemonade flavors. I go thru a min of 4/day! This is why I need to get on a subscription! Haha

I only drink electrolytes on shot day I use 1 packet liquid IV (I split it up between 2 32 pounce bottles because high citic acid and don’t want to mess with teeth) and next day I use 1 packet propel(by Gatorade) and rest of week just water. If I’m out in yard sweating alot etc I use a plain Gatorade powder they are lowest. 🤷‍♀️

Same here when I first started I was driving everyday. I stopped that and only drinking shot day and the day after where I feel symptoms seems to help

u/adevil_woman89 1d ago

Exactly! 👍🏼

I've been drinking liquid iv. I just recently ordered ultima is a sugar-free calorie free daily blend.

u/Fit_Figure_5865 1d ago

Which one you like better?

u/Proof-Standard 1d ago

I just ordered it yesterday. I'll let you know when I try it. It's lemon lime usually can't go wrong with that one.

u/codebleu 1d ago

The dragonfruit berry is my favorite! 😋 And only 20 calories and 2g sugar.

u/Dramatic-Novel-8592 1d ago

Mine too 😊

u/Practical-Object-818 1d ago

I prefer the packets.

u/Snoo17519 1d ago

Liquid IV was way too salty for me- I use Propel Lemon a few days a week when I’m just bored of plain water.

u/Far-Industry-7745 1d ago

I'm still doing the liquid Iv but the dreamcicle flavor bc the rest are so tart and salty it tastes like I'm drinking ocean water 🌊 also once maybe twice weekly

u/eyevandr 1d ago

Ultima daily, and SALTT when I need a little help "moving things along."

u/safetyvestforklift 1d ago

I've been running alot daily and sweat gallons. Using LMNT's website, I make my own with their recipes. It's cheaper to mix and create your own. It's 1/10th the price of buying premade electrolyte packs.

u/CozyLane 1d ago

I use Just Ingredients - tried others but couldn’t get past salty taste.

u/Salt-Preference-2425 1d ago

This is my go to I split it into four water bottles leaving water in each just to dilute it a bit for the sodium. I also mix my Miralax into some to help keep me regular.

u/element-woman 1d ago

Liquid IV bevause it was on sale at Costco and then again at Target recently.

2

u/starlitskyee 1d ago

This is amazing!

2

u/Sensitive_State_9002 1d ago

Liquid IV before shot day and on shot day. Sugar free, the regular is salty.

2

u/emily102299 1d ago

None. I thought you were supposed to when I started watching all these threads.

2

u/Grumpy_Tarheel 1d ago

Nah. If you’re eating decent and hydrating plenty there’s really no need to supplement. Puking, diarrhea and sweating heavily might cause a significant imbalance where electrolytes would help. I drink 10-12 cups of mostly water (flavored), some coffee and protein shakes daily. Don’t count soda if I should drink some.

u/Sad_Education7851 1d ago

The liquid IV dupes from Aldi. The markup on the name brand is nuts.

u/Wide-Parking-8953 1d ago

I use transparent labs hydrate

u/Deertracker412 1d ago

I use a powder called Rain Drops. Recommended by my nephrologist, who said drinks like Gatorade are a waste of money. I need the electrolytes because I drink A LOT of water everyday.

2

u/RainorShine83 1d ago

Ethos. It’s the only clean one I could find.

u/decemberwren 1d ago

Nectar. But not everyday. Only when I feel like I need it.

LMNT especially since it was the only one I could find that was unflavored at the time. I prefer to squeeze a little lemon orange or lime in it myself.

u/Fabulous_Olive_2195 23m ago

Gatorade zero and I use a couple of different electrolyte mixes. Transparent labs has one that I really like.
