In this article I will share my experience with the BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot a fluid 50 ml shot of electrolytes and magnesium for those times during a long ride where you need the muscles to get some extra minerals to work. Easy to drink in a great orange taste, while easy to store in your jersey back pocket.
Key features BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot
On the product page of the BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot you can read the following description that highlights the most important product features:
Support muscle function and fluid balance in one convenient ampule
The BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot is a fresh orange-flavored shot containing six key electrolytes, including 250 mg of highly absorbable magnesium and 1.4 mg of vitamin B6. Designed for athletes who want to replenish their minerals during or after exercise. Convenient on the go and easy to use – without water.
Important features:
- 6 electrolytes: magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium, chloride and phosphorus
- 250 mg of magnesium per ampule
- 1.4 mg vitamin B6 per ampule
- 94 mg of sodium per ampule
- Fresh orange flavor
- 3 ampules per pack (25 ml each)
- Easy to carry and ready to use immediately
In simple words it is an ampule with concentrated electrolytes fluid, with orange flavor. “Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a direct role in energy production (ATP synthesis), muscle contraction, and relaxation during exercise” Read the article: Can Magnesium Enhance Exercise Performance ? that looks more into this topic. In the past I’ve used Lucovitaal Magnesium Citrate Powder 400 mg sachets during a hiking high tour, but a consuming a powder sachet on a bike is not very functional. Having an ampule with fluid is more convenient, especially when you take part in a competition where every second counts.
With the BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot you also get additional vitamin B6 which is also used for energy production. So it is a pretty complete package that keeps you going for longer. I would put a couple of these in my jersey back pocket when taking part in a granfondo.

From an energy perspective the nutritional value is almost zero, however as you look at the electrolyte numbers from a [% Daily Value] perspective, than 1 ampule of BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot will give you 63% of the daily magnesium needed and 70% of vitamin B6.

Concluding thoughts and wrap-up
The price point of BYE! Magnesium Electrolyte Shot € 4,00 – € 6,00 for a package with 3 ampules. This is a fair price point, given the concentration of electrolytes and magnesium. An ampule is also easy to pack in a cycling jersey pocket.

- Did you hear about the brand Boost Your Energy! ?
Please let me know in the comment section. Another Boost Your Energy! product that I’ve reviewed on this website is the BYE! Endurance Bar – Cranberry Oat bar with Chia Seeds. In warm weather I really enjoy the 6D Hydro ORS Drink – Grapefruit Flavored Electrolytes drink that can also be made as an Oral Rehydration Solution.
