Both Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix and Re-Lyte Immunity contain a generous dose of electrolytes, especially sodium. But it is safe to use both mixes side-by-side as long as you practice a bit of moderation.
Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix and Re-Lyte Immunity can be taken safely together. If you're taking them each individually, we currently recommend taking 1-3 servings per day of Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix and 1-2 servings per day of Re-Lyte Immunity.
If you'd like to take both daily, we recommend a maximum of 2 servings of Re-Lyte Electrolyte Mix and 2 servings of Re-Lyte Immunity cumulatively per day. Why do you have to limit the number of servings you take at all?
Well, it is possible to get too many electrolytes, and we prefer to err on the side of caution, since our products contain a generous dose of them, especially sodium.
At this point, there is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) set for sodium because there's very little evidence that sodium causes toxicity in healthy people even at very high doses. Obviously, there are some questions about the connection between high sodium intake, blood pressure, and heart issues. If you're concerned about that, we recommend reading this blog post.
It's also important to remember that everyone's electrolyte needs are different. If you exercise a lot, sweat a lot, deal with health issues that cause vomiting or diarrhea, etc. you'll need to replenish your electrolytes more frequently than other folks. So always keep that in mind when figuring out how many servings of Re-Lyte products to take daily.
