Optimal Electrolyte Sticks: Real Hydration Support for a Better-Functioning Body and Mind
Water alone doesn’t always cut it. A drop of just 1% in hydration levels can affect focus, memory, and how quickly your brain processes information† — which is why replacing lost electrolytes, not just fluids, matters. Optimal Electrolyte Sticks deliver sodium, potassium, and targeted minerals in a convenient, great-tasting stick pack you can take anywhere.
Who This Electrolyte Supplement Is Made For
- Anyone who wants a hydrating drink that actually tastes good — especially if plain water isn’t appealing to you or your family
- Active individuals looking for support with healthy muscle function, cramping, water retention, and bloating†
- People prone to dehydration headaches who want a low-calorie option with less sugar than coconut water
- Anyone wanting extra support for healthy hydration and potassium levels as part of their daily wellness routine†
- Those who wake up at night needing the bathroom and want a hydration option that won’t disrupt sleep
- People in hot, dry, or windy climates, frequent travelers, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding and need reliable everyday hydration†
What’s Inside Every Stick
Himalayan Pink Salt (Sodium) — Sourced from ancient salt caves rather than the ocean, avoiding the microplastic risk found in sea salt. Certificate-of-analysis verified for purity and naturally rich in trace minerals.†
Potassium (as Potassium Bicarbonate) — An estimated 99% of people fall short on potassium. We include more potassium than sodium to help support a healthy, balanced pH, especially since exercise increases acidity in the body.†
PeakATP® — A clinically studied, trademarked form of ATP, the body’s primary energy source. Supports healthy blood flow, strength, power, and performance during exercise, along with recovery from fatigue.†
Creatine — Supports healthy cellular hydration in muscle tissue. Combined with PeakATP®, it also supports healthy athletic performance.‡
Niacin (Vitamin B3) — A building block for NAD+, essential to the Krebs cycle for cellular energy production. Also supports healthy circulation, MTRR enzyme function, balanced lipid levels, and joint lubrication.†
Magnesium — Involved in over 400 enzymatic processes in the body. Supports a positive mood, healthy muscle and nerve function, hormonal balance, and acts as a cofactor for the COMT enzyme involved in dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine metabolism.†
Taurine — An amino acid that supports hydration, muscular strength and endurance, and Phase 2 liver detoxification pathways.†

How to Use Optimal Electrolyte Sticks for Best Results
Proper hydration is second only to breathing when it comes to sustaining a healthy life — a principle Dr. Lynch calls the “rule of 3s”: the body cannot survive beyond 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, or 3 weeks without food.
A simple daily rhythm to follow:
- Sip a glass slowly over about 30 minutes each morning, before breakfast
- Take small sips throughout a sauna session
- Sip between sets during a workout
- Prepare another serving anytime you notice brain fog or slower mental clarity in the afternoon
Absorption tip: Sip and hold before swallowing rather than chugging — this small habit can meaningfully improve how well your body absorbs the electrolytes.
Do you need extra salt? Most people get enough sodium through diet alone. The exceptions are heavy sweating (intense workouts or sauna sessions) or following a ketogenic diet, both of which may call for an added pinch of salt.†
For kids: Since kids often forget to hydrate simply because they’re busy, prepping their water bottle with a serving of Optimal Electrolyte Sticks before school or sports is an easy way to help them stay on track.
Storage: Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place. Use within 60 days of opening for best freshness. Leftover mixed electrolyte drink can be refrigerated for a couple of days.
Troubleshooting Your Electrolyte Drink
- Too fizzy? Stir and let it sit a bit longer — the carbonation settles within a minute or two.
- Too sweet? Add more filtered water.
- Not flavorful enough? Use slightly less filtered water.
- Getting a headache? You may be drinking it too quickly — try half a serving, sip more slowly, or drink it away from food.
- Feeling irritable? Try half a serving in the morning or during a workout, away from meals.
- Loose stools or gut discomfort? Often related to the creatine content — try taking it in the morning, sipping slowly over time, or before exercise (when stomach acid is naturally higher), and avoid pairing it directly with meals.
