Why On-Demand Mixing?

• Customizable: Adjust ratios based on your hydration needs.
• Portable: Carry small ingredient containers for quick mixing.
• Fast: Takes just 30 seconds to mix a serving.

Portable Ingredient Setup

Keep these in your bag for easy access:

• Sea salt: Small shaker bottle (1 oz).
• Potassium chloride: Tiny jar or pill bottle (1/4 oz for 2-3 tsp).
• Magnesium citrate powder: Small dropper bottle or vial (1/2 oz).
• Optional flavorings: Citric acid or stevia in mini containers.

Sourcing: Find at grocery stores, pharmacies, or online (e.g., Amazon). Cost: ~$10-15 for multiple servings.
