Cellular Hydration Cocktail (1 L)
This is designed to:
• Support plasma volume
• Improve intracellular uptake
• Support nerve, muscle, fascia, and mitochondrial function
• Not overload sugar
• Be compatible with your histamine / gut sensitivity
Option A — Using Maple Syrup (cleanest + most controllable)
In 1 litre of water:
• Progurt pH Sachet: 1 sachet
• Maple syrup: 10–15 mL (2–3 teaspoons)
• Lemon juice: 10–20 mL (to taste)
• Optional: a pinch of extra sea salt only if sweating or very depleted
Why this works:
• pH sachet = sodium + potassium + buffering minerals
• Maple syrup = glucose + small amount of sucrose → drives sodium/glucose co-transport
• Lemon = citrate → improves mineral uptake and palatability
• Total sugar load ≈ 8–12 g → not a sugar drink, this is a transport drink
Option B — Using Coconut Water (more potassium, less control)
In 1 litre:
• 500 mL coconut water
• 500 mL plain water
• Progurt pH Sachet: 1 sachet
• Optional: squeeze of lemon
Note:
Coconut water is:
• High potassium
• Low sodium
So the pH sachet is essential to avoid creating a hypotonic / potassium-heavy drink.
Given your mineral philosophy, Option A is superior and more physiologically precise.
Osmolar Logic (Why This Actually Hydrates Cells)
Water does not enter cells efficiently on its own.
Sodium + glucose activate SGLT1 transporters → water follows osmotically.
This is why:
• Plain water → often increases urination
• Properly mineralised + lightly glucosed fluid → actually expands plasma volume and intracellular hydration
This is the same principle as WHO oral rehydration solution, just cleaner and lower sugar.
When To Use It
This is ideal:
• Morning after waking
• Before or during long walks
• During illness
• During heat exposure
• During periods of fatigue, low BP, or dehydration
• When CGM is flat or low and you don’t want to “eat”
