Salt, Potassium & Magnesium in a Paper Stick. Nothing Else.

I didn't want to start an electrolyte business.

All I wanted a simple mix of salt, potassium, and magnesium for myself—without sugar, fillers, or that lingering chemical sweetener aftertaste.

But contract manufacturing plants in the UK don't turn on their machines for one box.

To get a single batch made, I had to buy the whole factory run.

I kept my personal supply. The remaining pallets are sitting in a warehouse. If you want a box, great. If not, that’s completely fine too.

Why call it UpBy9?

Because 9 AM and 9 PM are usually when life gets demanding.

By 9 AM, you’ve done a morning workout or drunk two black coffees. By 9 PM, you’ve finished an evening run, sat in a sauna, or wrapped a 12-hour shift.

I drink mine around before 9am. That is the entire naming strategy.

The reality on taste:

Let’s lay the cards flat before you check out: This tastes saltier than sweet.

It’s the drink that tastes best when you're at your worst.

Most sports drinks treat minerals like a piece of steak smothered in corn syrup. They add sugar and artificial sweeteners to make salt taste like melted candy.

We didn't do that. We pair raw minerals with natural fruit acids and a touch of stevia. It is aggressively salty

We make four options:

• Lemon & Lime: Sour, salty, straight to the point.

• Salted Watermelon: Tastes like real fruit rind with a heavy pinch of salt. Oddly addictive.

• Wild Blackcurrant: A sharp, tart British berry profile. Not sweet, and definitely doesn't taste like cough syrup.

• Zesty Orange: Crisp citrus with zero stale, effervescent vitamin pill aftertaste.

If you want a sweet soft drink, please close this tab and buy a soda. If you sweat heavily or drink black coffee, pour one of these into 500ml of water.

What is inside each 4.3g stick

• ~755mg Sodium (from 1,988mg Pink Himalayan Salt)

• ~565mg Potassium (from Potassium Chloride)

• ~96mg Magnesium (from Magnesium Citrate)

• 0g Sugar. No Sucralose. No Maltodextrin. No Bulking Fillers.

What the ingredients do (the legal facts)

We don't make up wild performance claims. Here is what the GB Nutrition Register permits us to tell you:

• Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and normal muscle function.

• Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and normal functioning of the nervous system.
