You probably already know that GLP-1 medications suppress appetite, but did you know that they are known to suppress thirst too?
People on GLP-1 medications can struggle to drink enough water, which just exacerbates side effects like nausea on these medications.
Keeping your body hydrated is critical on GLP-1 medications to keep you feeling your best and avoid side effects.

If you've ever felt nauseous on your GLP-1, you're not alone! Nausea is the #1 reported side effect of these medications. But if you don't want nausea to stand in the way of you feeling your best and getting the most out of your medications, prioritizing hydration is essential.
Why? Because dehydration makes nausea and vomiting worse. GLP-1 medications already slow down your digestive system, and dehydration can make this gastric emptying process even slower, leading to worse side effects.
And if you happen to be one of the 5-10% of users struggling with diarrhea or vomiting on your medication, you'll need to replenish your fluids even more rapidly. Thankfully, prioritizing fluid intake (and supplementing with electrolytes) can help.
For people on a GLP-1 medication, experts recommend drinking 2-3 liters of water per day. That's the equivalent of about 8 water bottles per day. Yes, it's a lot! But there are ways you can get creative with your fluid intake.
Because hydration is so important for those on GLP-1 medications, our founder Dr. Alexandra Sowa has found with hundreds of her GLP-1 patients that supplementing with electrolytes helps keep side effects to a minimum. SoWell Electrolytes is the only electrolyte product on the market specifically designed for daily use by GLP-1 users. Here's how it works.
Water Alone Isn't Enough In order for your cells to benefit from the water you drink, your body needs the right ratio of electrolytes—including magnesium, sodium, and potassium—to deliver the hydration into your cells.
Enhanced with Vitamin B6 for Nausea Vitamin B6 has been shown to be an effective therapy for nausea and vomiting, especially when taken consistently. Since SoWell Electrolytes is specifically designed for GLP-1 users, we enhanced it with vitamin B6 to ward off nausea as much as possible.
Finally, An Electrolyte Powder That Doesn't Taste Fake! GLP-1 medications make people more sensitive to sweet tastes—which is why this formulation is mild in flavor and tastes like infused spa water, not artificial flavoring!
0g of Sugar It's formulated with 0g of sugar to help keep blood sugar balanced, since blood sugar spikes can make side effects on these medications worse.
Hitting hydration goals can be hard, especially for anyone on a GLP-1 medication. But because dehydration can worsen side effects, it's extra important for anyone on these medications to stay hydrated. SoWell Electrolytes makes it easy. Mixing one stick pack into your water bottle gives you the ideal ratio of electrolytes to make sure the water you're drinking makes it into your cells, all while providing the B6 your body needs to feel its nausea-free best.
A stick pack a day keeps the nausea at bay.
GLP-1 medications are known to suppress thirst in addition to appetite. This means people on these medications can struggle to drink enough water without realizing it, which can exacerbate side effects like nausea.
For people on a GLP-1 medication, experts recommend drinking 2-3 liters of water per day — the equivalent of about 8 water bottles. You can reach this target through plain water, herbal teas, infused water, and electrolyte drinks.
Yes. Dehydration slows gastric emptying even further on GLP-1 medications, which worsens nausea. Electrolytes help your cells actually absorb the water you drink. SoWell Electrolytes is also enhanced with vitamin B6, which has been shown to be an effective therapy for nausea and vomiting when taken consistently.
GLP-1 medications increase sensitivity to sweet tastes, making heavily flavored or artificially sweetened products difficult to tolerate. SoWell Electrolytes is formulated with a mild flavor — more like infused spa water than a sports drink — and contains 0g of sugar to keep blood sugar balanced.
