If you're living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), you already know how exhausting it can be to manage symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, low energy, and near-constant dehydration. You’ve probably been told to “drink more water” and “get your electrolytes.” But what happens when you do all that… and still don’t feel better?
➡️ You drink glass after glass of water, maybe even add salt or use electrolyte powders, but nothing seems to stick. You’re still waking up foggy. You still feel drained by mid-morning. Your heart still races when you stand. It’s frustrating—and frankly, unfair.
🙌🏽 But here’s the good news: it’s not your fault. There are specific, often-overlooked reasons why hydration might not be working the way it should—especially if you have POTS.
Let’s break it down:
You’re Digesting Electrolytes Instead of Absorbing Them Directly
Here’s the truth: not all electrolytes are created equal, and the way you take them matters.
Most traditional electrolyte supplements—tablets, capsules, powders, or even drinks—have to travel through your digestive system before they’re absorbed. That journey takes up to 30 minutes, involving being broken down in your stomach, absorbed in your intestines, and processed by your liver. Along the way, a huge portion of those essential minerals are lost or flushed out.
Research shows that absorption rates vary from 5-50% depending on specific nutrients, added ingredients, and your individual digestive system for gummies, tablets, capsules, and liquids. This means that 50-95% of the electrolytes you swallow are completely wasted and not used by your body! However, Lyte Drops sublingual nutrients are absorbed at greater than 95% directly into your bloodstream through the lining under your tongue.
If you’re swallowing your electrolytes, your body may only be using a fraction of them. The rest? Down the drain—literally.
That’s where sublingual absorption changes everything. By placing electrolytes under your tongue, they’re absorbed directly into your bloodstream in under 5 minutes, bypassing digestion completely. No waiting, no breaking down, and no wasting.
This is the foundation of Lyte Drops—a clean, fast-absorbing electrolyte solution formulated specifically for instant impact.
2. POTS Can Disrupt Digestion and Nutrient Absorption
Many people with POTS report digestive symptoms like bloating, nausea, constipation, or poor appetite. That’s because POTS typically affects the autonomic nervous system, which controls functions like digestion.
So even if you’re eating a well-balanced diet and drinking fluids regularly, your body might be struggling to absorb what it needs—including key minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
To make matters worse, large doses of sodium—often prescribed for POTS—can irritate the stomach, triggering nausea, cramping, or acid reflux. That creates a frustrating cycle: you’re trying to help your symptoms, but the very thing you need makes you feel worse.
And don’t get us started on sugary sports drinks filled with dyes and artificial ingredients. Those can wreak havoc on sensitive stomachs and spike your blood sugar—only to leave you crashing later.
💡 The Better Way
Sublingual electrolytes completely bypass the gut, delivering minerals directly into your bloodstream—so even if digestion is compromised, your electrolyte balance doesn't have to be.
Lyte Drops are free from sugar, fillers, and artificial sweeteners. They’re gentle, effective, and easy to use—even in the middle of a flare-up or presyncope episode.
3. Too Much Sodium, Not Enough Balance
Yes, sodium is critical—especially for people with POTS, whose symptoms sometimes improve with increased salt and fluids. But here’s the thing: high sodium alone may not be ideal, and too much of it can stress the kidneys over time.
Your body relies on a delicate balance of many minerals to support hydration, circulation, energy, and nerve function. When one is out of balance—especially in large doses—it can create other problems.
Instead of flooding your body with sodium, the goal should be to restore full-spectrum electrolyte balance—supporting increased blood volume and hydration at the cellular level, not just pushing water into your bloodstream.
💧 What Makes Lyte Drops Different?
✅ Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium, and Chloride for core hydration, plus the full complement of essential macro & trace minerals needed daily
✅ MCT Oil from coconuts to enhance absorption and support brain function
✅ Vitamin D3 + K2 for mineral absorption & distribution, immune, cardiovascular, and bone health
✅ Lyte Drops+ also contains Sea Moss, Black Seed Oil, Burdock Root & Bladderwrack for additional antioxidant and thyroid support
So… How Do You Actually Hydrate with POTS?
✅ Use electrolytes that are absorbed under the tongue—not through the gut
✅ Choose full-spectrum minerals in their natural, bioavailable forms
✅ Avoid sugars, dyes, and artificial ingredients that can irritate your system
✅ Stay consistent, dosing several times a day to maintain balance & drink a healthy amount of water everyday
There are 90 essential nutrients your body needs to function. Of those, 60 are minerals—and most of us aren’t getting enough of them. Lyte Drops contains all 60 and beyond in their most natural and absorbable forms, designed to support your body’s unique needs.
Real People. Real Relief.
“I’ve tried dozens of electrolytes. Nothing compares to this. I use Lyte Drops in the middle of the night when I have presyncope flare-ups — and it stops the episode instantly.”

Stop Pouring Water Into a 'Leaky Bucket'
If you’ve been hydrating the conventional way and still feeling drained, it’s not because you’re not trying—it’s because your hydration routine isn’t working for your body.
With POTS, lasting relief may involve more than just drinking more water. It’s also having the correct mineral balance so water can be distributed where it’s needed.
Lyte Drops helps you do exactly that.
Reclaim your hydration. Reclaim your clarity. Reclaim your life.
