Inside the Electrodose Formula: What Each Ingredient Does and Why We Chose It

We built Electrodose around disclosing every active ingredient and its amount. Ingredient studies differ in form, amount, population and outcome; the finished Electrodose formula has not been tested in a clinical trial.

That’s it. No fairy-dusting 14 ingredients at useless amounts so the label looks impressive. No proprietary blends hiding the fact that you’re paying for maltodextrin and food coloring. Every milligram in Electrodose is there because it earns its spot.

Here’s the full breakdown — what’s in it, what form we used, and exactly why.

Complex 01 — Electrolyte Hydration Complex

This is the foundation. If your electrolytes are off, nothing else matters. Your muscles cramp, your brain fogs, your output tanks. Most electrolyte powders either underdose sodium and call it a day, or skip magnesium entirely. We didn’t cut corners here.

Sodium Citrate — first of two sodium sources

Sodium is the electrolyte you lose the most of when you sweat. It drives fluid absorption in the gut and keeps plasma volume stable so your cardiovascular system doesn’t have to work overtime. We chose sodium citrate over sodium chloride because citrate is easier on the stomach and doubles as an alkalizing agent, which helps buffer lactic acid during hard efforts. Together with the pink Himalayan salt below, total sodium lands at 1,000mg per scoop — right in the range recommended for athletes losing significant sweat volume.

Pink Himalayan Salt — second sodium source

This adds another layer of sodium along with over 80 trace minerals — iron, zinc, calcium, and potassium among them. Think of it as a broad-spectrum mineral top-up that complements the precision dosing of the other electrolytes. It’s unrefined and minimally processed, which means you’re getting the full mineral profile instead of stripped-down table salt.

Potassium Citrate — 200mg (400mg at 2 scoops)

Potassium works alongside sodium to regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions. Most people are already low on potassium through diet alone, and exercise makes it worse. We went with the citrate form for superior bioavailability and gentler absorption. At 400mg across two scoops, this provides a meaningful contribution without overdoing it — potassium needs to be dosed carefully, and we designed this to complement what you’re already getting from food.

Tri-Magnesium Complex — 300mg total (600mg at 2 scoops)

This is where we got particular. Instead of throwing in one cheap form of magnesium and calling it done, we built a complex using three distinct forms, totaling 300mg of elemental magnesium per scoop:

Magnesium Glycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, which gives it excellent bioavailability and makes it the calmest on your GI tract. It supports muscle relaxation and sleep quality.

Magnesium Citrate Anhydrous absorbs quickly and is well-studied for general replenishment. It’s the workhorse of the three.

Magnesium Malate is bonded to malic acid, which plays a direct role in the Krebs cycle — your body’s primary energy production pathway. This form specifically supports ATP production and may help reduce muscle fatigue.

Three magnesium forms are disclosed on the label. That formulation choice does not establish three distinct tissue targets, clinical synergy or a proven benefit across multiple systems.

Complex 02 — Cognitive Performance Focus Complex

This section describes the additional cognitive and performance ingredients. Their inclusion and normal biochemical roles do not establish improved focus, stress resilience, mental endurance or energy from this finished formula.

L-Tyrosine — 1,250mg (fully dosed at 1 scoop)

L-Tyrosine is an amino acid precursor involved in catecholamine synthesis. Electrodose lists 1,250mg per scoop. The cited extended-wakefulness and task-switching studies used different conditions and amounts; they do not establish the same effect from this serving.

Alpha-GPC 50% — 300mg (fully dosed at 1 scoop)

Electrodose lists 300mg of Alpha-GPC 50% ingredient per scoop, equivalent to 150mg active Alpha-GPC. This is not 300mg active Alpha-GPC or 150mg choline. The strength and cognition studies linked on our Science page used different amounts and preparations and do not establish equivalence or cognitive benefits from this serving.

Rhodiola Rosea Extract (3% Rosavins, 1% Salidroside) — 200mg (fully dosed at 1 scoop)

Electrodose lists 200mg Rhodiola Rosea root extract standardized to 3% rosavins and 1% salidroside. The cited fatigue and endurance trials used different protocols and populations. Matching a standardization description does not establish a clinically effective amount or the same result from this formula.

L-Theanine — 125mg (fully dosed at 1 scoop)

Electrodose lists 125mg L-Theanine per scoop. The attention reference linked on our Science page tested theanine with caffeine; theanine alone did not show the same result. It does not establish a noticeable focus shift from this caffeine-free formula.

Batch-1 formula update: Electrodose also includes Peak ATP® (adenosine 5'-triphosphate disodium) at 400mg and Phosphatidylserine (50%, from soybean) at 100mg per scoop — see the printed Supplement Facts label and the Formula page.

Complex 03 — Vitamin & Mineral Support

These are the essentials that most active people are low on. No mega-dose gimmicks. Just the right forms at the right amounts to fill the gaps that training, stress, and modern diets create.

Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) — ~2,500 IU

Vitamin D3 has roles in normal bone and immune function. Electrodose lists 2,500 IU per scoop. The labeled amount does not diagnose or establish treatment of a vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin B6 (as P5P) — 10mg

P5P is the active, coenzymated form of B6, meaning your body can use it immediately without conversion. B6 is critical for neurotransmitter synthesis — including the dopamine and serotonin pathways — and amino acid metabolism. Many cheaper supplements use pyridoxine HCl, which requires liver conversion. P5P skips that step.

Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin) — 100mcg

Methylcobalamin is the naturally occurring, bioactive form of B12. It supports red blood cell formation, neurological function, and energy metabolism. We avoided cyanocobalamin — the synthetic form found in most supplements — because methylcobalamin is better retained and doesn’t require your body to strip off a cyanide molecule before using it.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) — 100mg

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that supports immune function and aids collagen synthesis for joint and connective tissue health. At 100mg, this is a practical daily dose — enough to provide meaningful antioxidant support without the mega-dosing that just gets excreted.

Zinc Picolinate — 5mg (10mg at 2 scoops)

Zinc has roles in normal nutrient function, and the label specifies zinc picolinate. At 10mg across two scoops, the amount is disclosed; it does not establish a testosterone effect or absence of gastrointestinal or other effects.

What We Left Out and Why

No caffeine. We want you to control your stimulant intake separately. Not everyone trains at the same time, tolerates caffeine the same way, or wants it stacked on top of their morning coffee.

No creatine. Creatine is a great supplement, but it requires 3–5g daily and has specific mixing requirements. Cramming an underdosed amount into a hydration formula just so we can put it on the label isn’t how we operate.

No artificial sweeteners, no artificial colors, no sucralose. We use OnoSweet® — fermented Reb M, a naturally fermented stevia-leaf sweetener — alongside stevia, because it tastes clean without the chemical aftertaste or the emerging concerns around artificial sweeteners and gut health.

No proprietary blends. Every dose is printed on the label. If a company hides their doses, ask yourself why.

The Bottom Line

Electrodose was built for people who actually read labels. Three complexes, zero filler, every amount fully disclosed and informed by published research. Hydration, cognition, and essential micronutrient coverage — in one scoop.
