What are fasting electrolytes?

Fasting electrolytes are products chosen to pair well with common fasting styles. They focus on sodium, potassium and magnesium, keep sugar very low or at zero, and avoid unnecessary extras that may not suit your fasting goals.

In this collection you will typically find a mix of:

• Clean, sugar free drink mixes like ZeroLyte and selected blends from brands such as LMNT, Redmond Re-Lyte, SALTT and Sodii.
• Unflavoured electrolytes from the broader Unflavoured Electrolytes range, ideal for those who prefer minimal taste.
• Electrolyte capsules and drops that are easy to take on the go and simple to dose during fasting windows.

How electrolytes support different types of fasting

Whether you are practising a simple 16:8 intermittent fast, OMAD, or occasionally experimenting with longer fasts, electrolyte needs can increase when food intake drops. Many people notice better:

• Energy and mental clarity during longer stretches without food
• Comfort during the early stages of adjusting to fasting or low-carb diets
• Hydration in warm weather or on busy days where water alone does not feel like enough

Electrolytes are not a replacement for medical guidance, but they can be a practical tool for many people who already use fasting as part of their routine.

How to use fasting electrolytes during the day

Fasting routines differ, but some common times LYTES customers use electrolytes include:

• First thing in the morning to start the fasting window feeling hydrated and more alert.
• Mid-fast when energy dips or concentration feels harder to maintain.
• On training days if you exercise while fasting, especially in the heat.
• As you break your fast alongside food, to continue supporting hydration.

For more guidance on timing, you may find the LYTES guide helpful: Guide to Proper Hydration Timing.

Do electrolytes “break” a fast?

Different fasting approaches define “breaking a fast” in different ways. Some people focus strictly on total energy (kilojoules/calories), while others also consider flavours or sweeteners. Many of the products in this collection are selected because they are lower in energy and designed with fasting in mind.

If you are following a specific protocol or under medical supervision, it is always best to check those guidelines or speak with your health professional about which products suit your needs.

Choosing the right fasting electrolyte for you

When browsing the Fasting Electrolytes collection, it can help to ask:

• Do I prefer flavoured or unflavoured drinks?
• Do I want a stronger sodium hit (for heavy sweating or long fasts) or something more moderate?
• Do I prefer a powder, capsule or drops format?

If you are still unsure, you can also look at the broader All Electrolytes collection or use the lifestyle filters on the Electrolytes by Lifestyle page.
