You might have come across the term “snake juice” when researching intermittent fasting and you might be wondering what it is, and why you would need to drink it.

Snake juice is made up of water, salt, potassium chloride, baking soda and magnesium sulphate.  It helps replenish your body with necessary electrolytes that you’re not getting from food during an extended fast.

During fasting you are not getting the same amount of water and necessary salts from your diet, since you’re not eating any food, so you may need to supplement if you are doing an extended fast.
