CuratedFit
CURATEDFIT SUMMARY
Passes because it is a genuinely three ingredient formula, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium citrate, with precise quantities and both EU and USA daily value percentages disclosed for each. There are no other ingredients of any kind. All three actives are minerals, so criterion 1 is flagged rather than failed under the CuratedFit Standard's mineral precedent. One notable inconsistency was found between a Halal certification badge displayed on the page and the manufacturer's own FAQ text, which is detailed in the transparency note below.
WHAT IT IS
An unflavoured electrolyte powder built specifically for fasting protocols, providing sodium, potassium, and magnesium at ratios the manufacturer states are designed to meet commonly cited electrolyte needs during extended fasting. A single 5g scoop is the standard serving for intermittent fasting or keto use, with up to four scoops (20g) permitted daily for extended fasting. The product contains zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero protein, and zero fat.
WHO IT IS FOR
Someone doing extended or intermittent fasting who wants a no frills electrolyte source without any added flavouring, sweetener, or filler, and who is comfortable with a product that tastes like salt water rather than a flavoured electrolyte drink.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Sodium (as Sodium Chloride)
5,135 mg, NRV: 257%, DV: 223%
Industrially manufactured mineral compound
Potassium (as Potassium Chloride)
2,500 mg, NRV: 125%, DV: 53%
Industrially manufactured mineral compound
Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate)
300 mg, NRV: 80%, DV: 71%
Industrially manufactured mineral compound
Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium.
All three actives here are minerals rather than biosynthesized compounds like vitamins or herbal extracts. Under the CuratedFit Standard's mineral precedent, industrially manufactured mineral actives are flagged rather than failed on natural origin, even when declared at a stated NRV or DV percentage, since they are elemental and functional rather than a manufactured active marketed as a nutritional upgrade. The manufacturer explains its choice of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium citrate specifically, over alternatives like pink Himalayan salt, citing inconsistent mineral content and potential trace heavy metal contamination in unrefined salt as reasons for using standardised mineral salts instead.

CURATEDFIT STANDARD CHECK
Warning
As Natural As Possible
All three active ingredients are industrially manufactured mineral compounds. Flagged per the CuratedFit Standard's mineral active precedent, not failed
Info
Contains What It Claims
Precise quantities and both EU and USA daily value percentages are disclosed for each mineral. CuratedFit has not seen independent lab verification of these figures
Pass
Every Ingredient Earns Its Place
Genuinely three ingredient formula. Manufacturer states no other ingredients are present
Pass
No Insect-Derived Ingredients
No animal or insect derived ingredients present
Pass
No Proprietary Blends
Individual quantities disclosed for every active ingredient
Pass
Allergen Declaration
Manufacturer states the product is free from gluten and soy. Given the ingredient list consists of three mineral salts with no other ingredients, allergen surface area is minimal
Pass
Sugar Content Declared
Zero carbohydrate, confirmed explicitly on the nutritional content panel
Pass
Artificial Sweeteners and Flavorings
Manufacturer states the product is completely free from all additives and flavourings
Info
Heavy Metals and Contaminants
Not addressed for this specific product. The manufacturer's own FAQ raises heavy metal contamination as a reason to avoid unrefined pink Himalayan salt, but does not provide equivalent testing data for its own refined mineral salts
Pass
Banned Substance Risk Declared
Pure electrolyte minerals, no stimulant or hormonal precursor compounds
Info
Country of Manufacture Noted
The company is registered as an EU subsidiary based in Cork, Ireland. A separate "FDA registered facility" badge is displayed on the page, which suggests some involvement of a US based facility, though the actual manufacturing location is not clearly stated
TRANSPARENCY NOTE
This is an unusually simple and well disclosed formula. All three active ingredients are listed with precise milligram amounts and percentage values under both EU and USA daily value frameworks, and the manufacturer explicitly states there are no other ingredients at all, a rare level of minimalism in this category. The zero carbohydrate, zero sugar, zero fat, zero protein declaration is also explicit rather than inferred.
Since all three actives are minerals, criterion 1 is flagged under the CuratedFit Standard's established mineral precedent rather than treated as a fail. This is a useful real world example of that precedent, since a product built entirely on mineral actives would otherwise be penalised in a way that does not reflect how minerals differ from biosynthesized vitamin or herbal actives.
One specific inconsistency is worth flagging clearly. The product page displays a Halal certification badge in its Quality Assurance section. However, the manufacturer's own FAQ states, in reference to this same product line, that the company is "currently awaiting a Halal certification for the finished product." These two things do not match. A displayed certification badge implies the certification has already been granted, while the FAQ text describes it as pending. This is worth raising directly with the manufacturer before this product is featured, since a customer relying on the badge could reasonably believe a certification exists that, per the manufacturer's own text, does not yet exist.
The remaining Info flags, independent lab verification, heavy metals testing, and a fully confirmed manufacturing location, are standard transparency limitations. None of them prevent evaluating what is otherwise one of the most minimal and clearly disclosed formulas reviewed for the catalogue so far.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why is this flagged on natural origin if the ingredients are just salts?
Because the CuratedFit Standard treats any active ingredient declared with a stated daily value percentage as subject to the natural origin screen, and these mineral salts are industrially manufactured rather than biosynthesized. This is a flag, not a fail, consistent with how other mineral products are treated in this catalogue.
Why doesn't this product use pink Himalayan salt?
The manufacturer states pink Himalayan salt has inconsistent potassium and magnesium content between batches, insufficient mineral levels for extended fasting support, and a possibility of trace naturally occurring heavy metals. It uses standardised, refined mineral salts instead for consistency.
Why are the percentages not at or near 100% for each mineral?
The manufacturer states that daily value guidelines were developed for a standard diet and don't map cleanly onto fasting or ketogenic eating patterns, where mineral requirements differ. The formulation is based on ranges commonly recommended by fasting practitioners rather than standard daily value targets.
Has this been tested for heavy metals?
Not that CuratedFit has been able to confirm for this specific product. The manufacturer discusses heavy metal risk in the context of explaining why it avoids pink Himalayan salt, but does not provide equivalent testing data for its own mineral salts.
Is this Halal certified?
The product page displays a Halal certification badge, but the manufacturer's own FAQ text states certification for the finished product is still pending. This is an unresolved inconsistency, worth confirming directly with the manufacturer.
Can this be taken alongside food?
The manufacturer recommends not taking it at the same time as food if using it for intermittent fasting or keto purposes, since the intent is to support the fasting window itself.
Is this suitable for someone with high blood pressure?
The manufacturer explicitly states this product should not be used by anyone with elevated blood pressure, and recommends consulting a doctor before use if you have any health concerns or are on medication.
