Which session is “Salty Electrolytes” for?
Strength vs ORS, per litre · mixed at 1 sachet / 400–600 ml
| Per litre | ORS rehydration baseline |

Per litre, at label strength. ORS is WHO reduced-osmolarity oral rehydration solution — the rehydration benchmark, not a sports drink. ×N is this SKU as a multiple of the ORS figure beside it.
usage / dilution panel
Zone fit is worked out from the label, not written for this product. The cut-offs (60 min, 2 h, 500 mg) are ours, not from a study. Not medical advice.

Label gap
Potassium is declared, but nothing in the list supplies it
The panel gives 210 mg potassium a sachet; the ingredient list on the same panel names no potassium chloride, citrate or gluconate. The brand's own lab reports measure 216–255 mg, so it is in the powder — the label does not say from what.
Ingredients
What is in the sachet
Seven ingredients, read by the job each one does. The list was transcribed from the Citrus pack panel — the ingredient strip is in the photo alongside.
| Job | On the pack | Note |
|---|---|---|
| ElectrolytesNa · K · Mg | Edible common salt · Magnesium gluconate ! Potassium: 210 mg declared, no potassium salt in the list Panel declares Na · K · Mg of the five electrolytes; calcium and chloride are not on the panel. | Plain sodium chloride — no citrate or bicarbonate. Magnesium gluconate is ~6% magnesium, so 70 mg of it fills 1.2 g of the 5.6 g sachet. |
| Sweetener | Steviol glycosides INS 960 | The pack prints “Stevia”; INS 960's standard name is steviol glycosides. Non-caloric, plant-derived — why sugar reads 0 g. Aftertaste some dislike. No-stevia electrolytes → |
| Carbs (sugar) | None | No glucose — a salt mix, not a fuel. Past two hours, carbs from elsewhere. |
| Extrasvitamins · aminos · caffeine | None | — |
| Taste & processing | Tartaric acid INS 334 · Citric acid INS 330 · Natural citrus flavour · Silicon dioxide INS 551 | The two acids are the tartness. “Natural flavour” is unspecified on the pack. Silicon dioxide keeps the powder free-flowing. |
Transcribed from the Citrus pack, 6 Aug 2026, in pack order within each job. Additives are INS-coded ingredients other than the electrolyte salts.

The 3 Jan 2026 bundle is not a new test
One edited bundle per flavour, dated 3 Jan 2026, repeats the Jul 2025 figures. The files were built in Illustrator, and the QR still authenticates the 16 Jul 2025 report.
Lab reports
What the brand's own lab reports say
The Func. Lab publishes 50 third-party lab files; every figure below is read from one of them.

Heavy metals and banned substances
Two things the label does not claim but the reports cover: contaminant metals in the powder, and a banned-substance screen.
Heavy metals
- •Detected, all within limit: lead in every Eurofins batch (0.033–0.146 mg/kg), plus copper and arsenic in Jul 2026. FARE Labs: all below the lab's quantification limit.
- –Above the FSSR 2011 limit (lead 2.5, arsenic 1.1, cadmium 1.5, mercury 1.0 mg/kg): none, in any report.
Limits are the ones FARE Labs prints in its “FSSR, 2011” column; detected-but-inside is shown so “none above limit” is not read as “none found”.
BSCG Certified Drug Free: 2 Citrus batches (01-G, 02/B) screened for WADA prohibited-list compounds — none detected. All flavours in the report database.
Mid-field on price — dearer per sachet than the cheapest salts, but more sodium too: 1,000 mg for ₹29.67, the most of any product at this price.

Func Lab Health N Wellness markets it; Pepper Health makes it — two different companies, one licence each.
manufacturer & licence panel
Who makes it
Who makes it
The brand on the front is rarely the factory. Two companies sit behind this sachet, each with its own FSSAI licence.
The two companies on the pack
- •Marketed by Func Lab Health N Wellness Pvt Ltd — the brand owner, marketer licence 11525997000529.
- •Made by Pepper Health Pvt Ltd — the contract manufacturer, licence 10021022000141. Plot F-38, Additional Ambernath Industrial Area, Anand Nagar MIDC, Ambernath East 421506, Maharashtra. “Made in India” on the tub.
No shared plant. Pepper Health's licence (10021022000141) makes no other brand in our database — unlike some contract manufacturers that supply several brands off one line. A dedicated maker is a sourcing fact, not a quality verdict.
Marketer and manufacturer read from the tub back panel, 17 Aug 2026. Shared-plant checks are against the FSSAI manufacturing licences of every product in our database.
Every number here is a label fact, transcribed and dated — no health claims. Each section above ends in its own fine print; this is the master list.
