SoWell Electrolytes
SoWell Electrolytes publishes its actual amounts: 380mg sodium, 15mg magnesium and 15mg vitamin B6, at 1g carbs and no sugar. Including B6 specifically for nausea is a considered choice rather than a generic one, and the transparency on amounts puts it ahead of the rest of the SoWell range.

What’s in it
Amounts are shown only where the manufacturer publishes them. Anything without a figure is undisclosed — and for an active ingredient, an undisclosed dose is the central problem with this category.

How the manufacturer says it works
SoWell publishes per-serving amounts for sodium, magnesium and vitamin B6, states more than 1,000mg of electrolytes per serving, and positions B6 specifically for nausea and the electrolytes for hydration.
What the evidence actually supports
This is the best-specified product in the SoWell range because it publishes actual milligram amounts rather than blend names. The B6-for-nausea choice is grounded: vitamin B6 has established use for nausea in pregnancy, and nausea is the most common GLP-1 side effect. Dehydration is a real risk when appetite suppression reduces both food and fluid intake, so an electrolyte product aimed at GLP-1 users addresses a genuine problem. Third-party testing is stated, and there is no sugar.
Where that evidence stops
Note the magnesium: 15mg is a small fraction of the roughly 400mg daily recommendation, so this is not a meaningful magnesium source despite being listed as one. 15mg of B6 is well within safe daily limits, but B6 is one of the few vitamins with a genuine toxicity ceiling — sustained high intake can cause peripheral nerve damage — so tally it against anything else you take containing B6. Electrolytes address hydration and nausea, not weight.
Strengths and problems
Strengths
- Publishes actual milligram amounts — 380mg sodium, 15mg magnesium, 15mg B6 — unlike the rest of the range
- B6 for nausea is a considered, mechanism-linked choice rather than generic filler
- Addresses dehydration, a real risk when appetite suppression cuts fluid intake too
- States third-party testing
- 1g carbs, no sugar, no artificial flavouring claimed
- Stick pack format suits travel and changed routines
Problems
- 15mg of magnesium is a token amount — a fraction of the daily recommendation, so do not count it as your magnesium source
- B6 has a real toxicity ceiling at sustained high intakes; tally it against other supplements you take
- 380mg sodium is modest if you are genuinely sweating or unwell
- Free shipping threshold is $100
- Addresses hydration and nausea, not weight

May suit
Someone on a GLP-1 dealing with nausea or struggling to drink enough, who wants published amounts rather than a blend name.
Do not use if
- You are on a sodium-restricted diet for blood pressure or heart failure
- You already take a B6-containing supplement and would be stacking doses
- You have kidney disease — discuss electrolyte intake with your doctor
Frequently asked
Why vitamin B6 in an electrolyte drink?
For nausea. B6 has established use for nausea in pregnancy, and nausea is the most common side effect of GLP-1 medications. It is a specific answer to a specific problem rather than a generic vitamin blend.
Is 15mg of magnesium useful?
Not really, as a magnesium source. The daily recommendation is roughly 400mg. If you want magnesium, this is not where you will get it — but that is not really what the product is for.
