Electrolyte Hydration Kit
Made to order
All kits are on back-order and made to order. Typical delivery is within 28 days of purchase.
A Standard 2.6.2 electrolyte drink kit: dextrose with isomaltulose, sodium and potassium salts, magnesium lactate as the permitted magnesium form, and coconut water powder for the whole-food fraction.
This category is specified by concentration, not by dose — the volume of water is part of the specification, and osmolality is a mandatory release test. Taurine, betaine and glycerol are supplied for comparison work but have no place in an electrolyte drink. Forge publishes no starting formula; the concentration limits on this page are the real constraint.
This is not a retail food product. Kits are not for sale to the general public. These products are only sold to businesses, founders, and entrepreneurs who are evaluating commercial products.
What's in the box
Every material.
Every pouch.
This is what ships — individually labelled, pre-weighed pouches of specification-grade raw material. Forge does not publish a recommended formulation, a starting dose or a serve count. What you make from these, and at what dose, is yours to decide — within the limits below.
Hard limits
No recipe.
Just ceilings.
Forge gives you no starting formula and no suggested dose — that judgement is yours. What it does give you is where Australian food law stops. These are daily maximums, not recommendations: staying under them is a requirement, reaching them is not a target.
Add more flavours
Once your Flavour Kit is in the cart, add extra flavour pouches and top-ups here — as many as you like. Every pouch is its own labelled SKU.
Additional flavour pouches unlock once a Flavour Kit (three flavours minimum) is in your cart.
Build your Flavour KitAugment with raw materials
Optional individual raw-material pouches to extend this kit. Weigh precisely and stay within any maximum limits listed on this page.
Sold as a kit add-on — add a Forge kit to your cart first, then augment it here.

What ships.
What doesn’t.
In every kit
- Individually labelled raw-ingredient pouches, sized by net weight
- Limits card: the statutory daily maximum for every capped material, and the kit’s cautions
- Usage and safety instruction sheet
Deliberately not included
- Flavour Kit (sold separately — required for a drinkable prototype; includes three sweeteners, the masking agent, and citric and malic acid)
- Precision scale and shaker
- Compliance advice, TGA guidance, or finished-product documentation
Forge kits produce prototypes — approximately 60% of a commercial product. What’s missing is intentional: professional flavour optimisation, FSANZ-aligned compliance review, final batch documentation, and commercial-scale production tolerances. That work belongs at MHS.

Safety & cautions
Read this
before you build.
- 01 / 03 For relevant exercise days only. Stay within the daily limits above, and approach them only for prolonged strenuous exercise, high sweat loss or heat.
- 02 / 03 At the daily sodium limit above this kit supplies roughly 1.2 g sodium. Sodium is the restrictive factor here, not magnesium or calcium.
- 03 / 03 Prepare in exactly 500 mL. This category is specified by concentration rather than dose, and osmolality must be confirmed at 200–340 mOsmol/kg by an accredited laboratory before any hydration claim.
Before you order
What you need.
Who shouldn’t.
Equipment required
- Scale (0.01 g for the mineral salts)
- Shaker or 500 mL bottle
- 500 mL measure
Not included in the kit — most founders already own both.
This kit is unsuitable for
Anyone with kidney disease, heart failure, hypertension requiring sodium restriction, impaired potassium handling, or on medicines affecting sodium or potassium balance. Not for children, pregnancy, or treating medical dehydration.
The instruction sheet in the kit names this formula’s specific cautions.
Shipping & returns
Every kit is made to order by MHS in Australia — nothing is held in stock. Typical delivery is within 28 days of purchase. Shipping calculated at checkout. Returns accepted on unopened kits only — raw-ingredient products can’t be restocked once opened. Full detail in the shipping and refund policies.
The next step
Your prototype is step one.
When you’re ready to manufacture, MHS takes your concept the rest of the way. Professional flavour optimisation, regulatory compliance, and small-to-medium batch manufacturing — built for Australian supplement brands. The same team that formulated your Forge kit knows exactly what a production-ready version of it looks like.
