One teaspoon carries roughly 333 mg of elemental magnesium. 3,751 human proteins bind magnesium (the human magnesome), including the ones that make ATP and the ones that keep nerve and muscle signaling normal. Carbonate it, chill it, sip it all day.
For adults who want mineral water they actually drink, and practitioners who prefer divided doses. 75 servings per pack, sold as 1 pack or 2.

Why people use it
- Magnesium carries this one. At the label's 800 mg of magnesium hydroxide per teaspoon, a teaspoon works out to roughly 333 mg of elemental magnesium. Magnesium is a cofactor in hundreds of enzyme reactions, including ATP production and normal nerve and muscle signaling.
- Sipped, not slammed. A liter carbonated in the evening, drunk in 1 to 2 oz portions across the next day. Dividing the dose is the practical way around the digestive upset that comes with one large amount of magnesium.
- Bicarbonate is the carrier. Potassium bicarbonate has been studied in controlled metabolic balance work for its role in the body's normal acid-base and mineral balance. Sodium bicarbonate has its own literature in working muscles during repeated effort.
- Supports normal muscle and nerve function. The everyday reason people keep a bottle of this in the refrigerator door.
- One part of a magnesium plan, not all of it. Josh is explicit about this: pair it with capsules, baths, or lotion. Don't make it your only source.
What you're getting (approximate)
Calculated from the label's stated compound amounts per teaspoon, converted to elemental minerals using NIST molecular weights. Not a lot-specific assay.
| Nutrient | Per 1 tsp |
|---|---|
| Magnesium | ~333 mg |
| Calcium | ~10.8 mg |
| Potassium | ~7.8 mg |
| Sodium | ~5.5 mg |
Approximate. Elemental fractions from the NIST Chemistry WebBook applied to the label's stated 800 mg magnesium hydroxide, 20 mg calcium hydroxide, 20 mg potassium bicarbonate, and 20 mg sodium bicarbonate per teaspoon. Silica is present as an anti-caking agent, permitted under 21 CFR 172.480; no nutritional amount is claimed for it.
How to use
- With a home carbonation machine: add 1 teaspoon of powder to a liter of cold distilled, RO, or DI water before carbonating. Carbonate, shake thoroughly, refrigerate overnight.
- With store-bought carbonated water: use bottles labeled plain 'Carbonated Water', not mineral water. Pour off 1 to 2 oz, add 1 teaspoon, reseal and shake, crack the cap to vent, reseal, shake again, refrigerate overnight.
- Drink it in small 1 to 2 oz portions through the day. That's the whole method.
- Start at 1 teaspoon per liter. Move to 2 only if you want more and you tolerate the first.
- Do not use this as your sole magnesium source. Pair it with Magnesium Malate, Bis-Glycinate, baths, or lotion.
- Children: only under practitioner guidance.
Sourcing & making
Four mineral salts and an anti-caking agent, blended in small batches in Conway, Arkansas. Magnesium hydroxide does most of the work; the calcium, sodium, and potassium bicarbonates are present in small amounts. Nothing is flavored, sweetened, or colored, which is why the carbonated water matters to the taste as much as to the mixing.
Full ingredients
- 800mg Magnesium Hydroxide
- 20mg Calcium Hydroxide
- 20mg Sodium Bicarbonate
- 20mg Potassium Bicarbonate
- Silica (anti-caking agent)
Who it's for — and who it isn't
Good fit for:
- Adults who won't take capsules consistently but will drink a cold bottle of mineral water
- Practitioners who want a client's magnesium spread across the day in small repeated amounts
- Anyone already carbonating water at home who wants something in it besides bubbles
Probably not for you if:
- You are already near the 350 mg/day supplemental magnesium ceiling from capsules. One teaspoon here is roughly 333 mg on its own.
- You are buying it for a child. Practitioner guidance first.

The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Sodium bicarbonate
Sports Medicine · 2020 · meta-analysis · n=13 endurance studies; 11 strength studies
A systematic review and meta-analysis of 13 muscular-endurance and 11 muscular-strength studies found that acute sodium bicarbonate supplementation improved muscular endurance (SMD 0.37, p = 0.001) but not muscular strength.
Potassium bicarbonate
The New England Journal of Medicine · 1994 · controlled metabolic balance trial · n=18
In a controlled metabolic balance study of 18 postmenopausal women, 60–120 mmol/day of potassium bicarbonate for 18 days neutralized endogenous acid, improved calcium and phosphorus balance, raised serum osteocalcin and lowered urinary hydroxyproline.
Magnesium (as magnesium hydroxide)
Magnesium physiology review, 2015
Physiological Reviews · 2015 · mechanistic review
A comprehensive physiology review describing magnesium as a required cofactor across a wide range of enzymatic reactions, including ATP-dependent energy metabolism and normal nerve and muscle signaling.
Evidence note: Strong for the individual minerals, each with human trial or well-characterized mechanistic evidence. This particular blend and its ratios have not yet been studied as a formula, so the page reports what each mineral does and what the serving delivers.
FAQ
Why does it have to be carbonated water?
Magnesium hydroxide is only slightly soluble in plain water. Carbonic acid in carbonated water converts part of it to the far more soluble bicarbonate form, and the overnight rest in the fridge gives that reaction time. Treat it as the mixing instruction that makes the powder go into solution, which is also what makes it drinkable.
How much magnesium is in a teaspoon?
Roughly 333 mg of elemental magnesium per teaspoon, spread across a liter of water. That is why you sip it, and why you count it against your other magnesium.
Why so little sodium and potassium?
Because there is only 20 mg each of the bicarbonate salts per teaspoon, which comes to about 5.5 mg sodium and 7.8 mg potassium. Trace amounts. If sodium and potassium are the goal, use Salt of Life and a dedicated potassium bicarbonate powder instead.
What's the silica for?
Keeping the powder free-flowing. Silicon dioxide is permitted as an anti-caking agent under 21 CFR 172.480 at no more than 2 percent by weight, and only in the amount needed for that effect. We make no nutritional claim for it.
How long does a pack last?
The label lists 75 servings. At 1 teaspoon per liter and a liter every day or two, that's a couple of months for most people. Stored cool, dry, and out of light, the powder itself is shelf-stable for years.
Pairs well with
- Magnesium Malate — the daytime capsule half of a magnesium plan
- Salt of Life — the sodium and chloride this blend only trace-supplies
- Potassium Bicarbonate Powder — when potassium is what you're actually after
Cautions
- Start at 1 teaspoon per liter and increase gradually, only if needed.
- Store cool and dry, away from light.
