MCAS-Friendly Electrolyte Drink
Flavor Profile: Customizable per person (base is unflavored functional mix) Serving Size: ~4.625 tsp per 33 oz tumbler Batch Size: 48 servings (~9.5 days for household)
Base Mix — Per Serving (Everyone)
| Ingredient | Amount | Nutrient | Qty | % DV |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iodized table salt | 1/2 tsp | Sodium | ~1,180 mg | 51% |
| Potassium chloride | 1/2 tsp | Potassium | ~1,050 mg | 22% |
| Magnesium glycinate | 1/2 tsp | Magnesium | ~112 mg | 27% |
| Ascorbic acid | 1/2 tsp | Vitamin C (+ acid) | ~2,250 mg | 2,500% |
| Dextrose | 1.5 tsp | Glucose (SGLT1) | ~6 g | — |
| L-Theanine | 1/8 tsp | Calm focus | ~200 mg | — |
| Creatine monohydrate | 1 tsp | Energy + histamine metabolism | ~5 g | — |
| TOTAL | 4.625 tsp |
Sugar per serving: ~6.5 g (~13% DV). Dextrose is functional — drives SGLT1 sodium-glucose cotransport for better absorption.
Vitamin C note: 1/2 tsp provides both the acid profile (making it drinkable) and vitamin C. Plasma half-life is ~30 min to 2 hrs, so spaced tumblers are processed independently.
Creatine note: Supports histamine metabolism by aiding DAO and HNMT enzyme activity. Also conserves methylation capacity. Discuss with Xander’s pediatrician before including him — consider a separate batch without creatine for him.
