It’s an electrolyte blend that you can make yourself or order off Amazon. I went the Amazon route for easy to-go packets.

Check out the Snake Diet by Cole Robinson. It’s basically just water fasting.
Just to throw in with everyone else...yes bump up your electrolytes.
I add this to my gallon of water. It's not the best tasting but it helped me in the very beginning with headaches and nausea.

They are a little pricey, but I don't drink them everyday, more like twice a week.
Here you go!
[Snake Juice]
They are a little pricey. And the instructions say to drink one packet a day, I don't do that now. In the beginning I did but now that I've gotten use to fasting I don't feel like I need it. During this 96 hour fast which is 4 days, I've drank 1 packet every other day. If I'm doing 20:4 or doing OMAD I'll drink like 3 packets a week to keep everything running smooth.
It's also not the best tasting, it's salty. So I mix it into a gallon of water to thin out the taste.
Here you go.
[Snake Juice]
Doesn't taste all that good just to warn you. I usually mix it into a gallon of water so I don't taste it as much.
You can buy snake juice if you don't want to make it. It's an actual product. Here's the amazon link. It has the absolute best electrolytes ratio of anything I've ever found on the market. Beware though - it doesn't taste great. It's just salty water.
If you want to make your own, for one mix I do a tsp of potassium chloride powder, 1/2 tsp of pink sea salt, a tsp of baking soda, 200 mg of magnesium that I get from a supplement capsule, and a 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Mix it all up with a liter of water and enjoy!
I'll usually drink two a day for extended fasts and maybe supplement with more water mixed with pink sea salt if I had a particularly hard workout.
Yes I use them when I do 3+ day fasts. Usually I stick to 1.5 packets, unless I do a lot of exercise, drink lots of water I will do 2 or 2.5. This is the brand I use

I use Snake Juice if I'm traveling and can't make my own. Some of the best % of nutrients in any pre-packaged supplement. But be warned, there are no sweeteners at all in them so it just tastes like pretty salty water.
This is the easiest option for getting started

Alternatively just buy some pink salt and potassium chloride from amazon and mix in 1tsp of potassium and 1/2 sodium
This part is a bit out of my experience, but perhaps you are experiencing some sort of electrolyte imbalance? I have read that some IFers have looked to some sort of boost to offset similar symptoms. I have also read about a more aggressive form of intermittent fasting known as the SNAKE diet that involves powdered electrolyte supplements but I have no personal experience.

you can just mix that stuff yourself if you can manage to get some potassium chloride (a.k.a. no-salt) and edible epsom salts (and regular salt, of course), but if you can't be bothered, there are pre-made packets on Amazon
There are such a thing as snake juice packets, they are on amazon. But it is so easy that you should make it yourself.
I agree that for doing 48s you don't really need electrolyte supplements, but it certainly won't hurt you.
I make my own snake juice (1 quart water, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp KCL powder, 1/4 tsp food grade epsom salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper for flavor and because it's good for you.), and sip it throughout the day. For my next fast I will add 1/4 tsp pink salt as I don't think I was getting enough sodium.
one gal was doing back to back extreme fasts under the supervision of Cole Robinson but she skipped her Electrolytes. she didn't like the taste. she developed severe pain and neurological problems that took weeks to resolve.
One of my relatives died of a heart attack from potassium and magnesium imbalance because she simply wasn't eating right (not even fasting). so I'm convinced that Electrolytes are important.

I order the snake juice from amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F5YZNYV?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share , you can make it yourself it’s 95% cheaper, I used to but honestly it’s too much effort for me haha
Late on this, I apologize. Salt and electrolytes in general can help with nausea. And make sure you're properly hydrated

I just grabbed this off Amazon Prime so I didn't have to think about it or mix anything. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F5YZNYV
Fair point. Thanks for the opinion. I found snake juice for sale on amazon =) https://www.amazon.com/SNAKE-Juice-Electrolyte-Unflavored-Fasting-Focused/dp/B07F5YZNYV
You can get it in ready-to-use packets on Amazon.
Water is not electrolytes..... WTF cheese is not electrolytes either. Make this recipe and drink it right now:Buy pink salt rocks, put them in a mason jar filled with water, refill it now and then. Drink like 5 table spoons of it per day.
or buy it here: https://www.amazon.com/SNAKE-Juice-Electrolyte-Unflavored-Fasting-Focused/dp/B07F5YZNYV/
Being in Ketosis is completely different than Keto Flu. You can be in both at the same time. You need to study the difference.... Being in Ketosis flushes your body of all electrolytes which causes you to have keto flu. Fuck you have been like this for awhile, your brain cells must be fried. How are you alive?
Check out snake juice. You can buy pre-made packets or make it at home easily on the cheap.

It will get better over time, just never touch kratom again. I went through the same thing, full panic with full body tremors, went to the ER, I was hypokalemic (low blood potassium). They gave me potassium chloride which helped, along with a few benzos until the anxiety got better.
​
I recommend making an electrolyte water drink with sodium and potassium chloride. Ever heard of the snake diet? I don't follow it but the guy has a recommended dosage, see here: https://www.amazon.com/SNAKE-Juice-Electrolyte-Unflavored-Fasting-Focused/dp/B07F5YZNYV/ Don't take more than three servings a day. This will keep your electrolytes in balance which your heart will appreciate.
​
Note you can buy the ingredients separately for cheaper, get the NOW brand of potassium chloride, and there's a few pink Himalayan salt brands. For the anxiety get 500mg GABA caps from NOW brand as well to take up to 3x a day until it's better. It's like xanax-lite.
