Posted by Mark (florida) on 12/30/2025

Hi all,

Would combining the following be ok to combine to make an electrolyte drink:

water+

  • sodium chloride(salt)+
  • potassium bicarbonate+
  • magnesium sulfate(epsom salt)+
  • di-calcium-phosphate+
  • sodium tetraborate(borax)

How much of each should be combined to be safe, especially the potassium bicarbonate?

Thank you

My favorite electrolyte drink is coconut water. I drink loads of it in the summer and it really helps if I've been sweating or working out!
