What it is

An unflavored mineral stick you stir into a litre of filtered water. It is built around potassium delivered as two salts — potassium citrate and potassium bicarbonate — alongside MSM and taurine. One 2.3 g packet per litre gives 451 mg of potassium (10% of the Daily Value), 1000 mg of MSM, and 100 mg of taurine. There are no other ingredients at all: no added sugar, no flavoring, no soy, dairy, or yeast. It comes as single-serve sticks and as a tub you scoop from.

Why the evidence supports it

Potassium is one of the few nutrients the Dietary Guidelines single out as a public-health shortfall — most adults sit well under the target, and it is the mineral that sets the electrical charge across every cell membrane. Worth understanding clearly: the citrate and the bicarbonate are both carriers for potassium, so it arrives by two routes rather than being one item in a list of five. The 451 mg is the total elemental potassium across both salts, and the label does not separately quantify citrate or bicarbonate, so no amount-based claim can be made about either one on its own.

What it supports

  • Supports normal daily hydration
  • Contributes meaningful potassium toward a commonly under-met intake
  • Supports normal fluid and electrolyte balance
  • Supports the normal membrane potential cells depend on

Which function it supports

Ties to the cell's Exchange function — potassium is the ion that sets the charge across the cell membrane, which is what lets nutrients, signals, and waste move in and out.

How it relates to your cells and mind

Every product here ties back to a specific job your body does. This one touches the functions below — follow either link to see the mechanism in full, then dig into the studies.

No product works in isolation

Every cell function above — Sense, Exchange, Transform, Build, Maintain, Adapt — needs the same broad base of optimal micronutrient levels running underneath it, all the time. Hydro-Life is not a stand-alone fix; it is one piece that plugs into that larger system. The foundation comes first, and this supports it.

Stacks well with

Pick your goal — here is what Hydro-Life pairs with for each. Nothing works in isolation; these share the same systems.

Foundational, or targeted?

Not everything in the shop is meant to be taken forever. Some products here are foundational — a daily nutrient base built for long-term, ongoing use. Others are targeted -- shorter-term support for a specific season, not a lifelong habit. If you are not sure which one this is, that is a fair question to ask us before you buy.

How to use it

One stick per litre of filtered, distilled, or deionized water, sipped through the day. The label suggests 1.5-2 litres daily, which works out to roughly 677-902 mg of added potassium a day. Because that is a real amount of potassium, talk to your clinician first if you have any kidney concern or take a blood-pressure medication — ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and potassium-sparing diuretics all raise potassium on their own.

Optimal nutrients are the definition of longevity

Long-term cell function depends on having what it needs, at the level it needs it, for as long as it needs it. That is the whole thesis behind everything we point you to here.
