Santa Cruz Paleo POG Electrolyte Singles
At a glance
Summary
Santa Cruz Paleo POG Electrolyte Singles scores 97/100 — the single-serving stick-pack form of the brand's Passion Orange Guava electrolytes, the same clean formula as the tub: a sea salt and Himalayan pink salt base with potassium chloride, chelated magnesium glycinate and calcium bisglycinate, flavored naturally and sweetened only with organic stevia — no sugar, no dyes, no fillers. Independently lab tested by Light Labs (ISO 17025): lead measured 0.46 µg per serving — inside the 0.5 µg action limit, though close to it — with arsenic and cadmium at trace levels, mercury not detected, and BPA/BPS/BPF and glyphosate all non-detect.
Contaminants 6
Source: Light Labs (Ann Arbor, ISO 17025) COA — Passion Orange Guava Electrolytes, tests 100103–05, Jul 2026, on the 5.42 g stick serving. Heavy metals by ICP-MS; bisphenols and glyphosate by LC-MS/MS.
Mercury Not detected Not detected
Below the quantification limit — no measurable mercury.
Light Labs, triple-quadrupole ICP-MS/MS (LLMTDA1, modified from FDA EAM 4.7, ISO 17025), tested 07/23/2026 on the 5.42 g stick serving.
Bisphenols (BPA / BPS / BPF) Not detected (3 screened) Not detected
BPA and its common substitutes BPS and BPF — plastic-linked endocrine disruptors — were all non-detect.
Light Labs, LC-MS/MS (method LLMTDB), tested 07/24/2026.
Glyphosate & AMPA Not detected Not detected
Glyphosate — the most widely used herbicide — and its breakdown product AMPA were both non-detect.
Light Labs, LC-MS/MS (method LLMTDC), tested 07/28/2026.
Lead 0.46 µg per serving (85.76 ppb) Trace
Inside the 0.5 µg/serving action limit, though at 92% of it — the highest of the four metals and worth disclosing plainly. Arsenic, cadmium and mercury all came back far cleaner.
Light Labs, triple-quadrupole ICP-MS/MS (LLMTDA1, modified from FDA EAM 4.7, ISO 17025), tested 07/23/2026 on the 5.42 g stick serving.
Arsenic 0.05 µg per serving (8.75 ppb) Trace
Well under the 10 µg/serving action limit — about half a percent of it.
Light Labs, triple-quadrupole ICP-MS/MS (LLMTDA1, modified from FDA EAM 4.7, ISO 17025), tested 07/23/2026 on the 5.42 g stick serving.
Cadmium 0.01 µg per serving (1.08 ppb) Trace
Well under the 4.1 µg/serving action limit.

Key ingredients 7
Salt (Sea Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt)Good
Unrefined sea salt and Himalayan pink salt supply the sodium chloride an electrolyte mix exists to deliver, with trace minerals intact — a clean base rather than refined table salt.
See more about Salt (Sea Salt, Himalayan Pink Salt) →Potassium ChlorideGood
Bioavailable potassium for fluid balance and nerve and muscle function — the electrolyte most diets under-supply.
See more about Potassium Chloride →Magnesium GlycinateGood
Chelated, glycine-bound magnesium — among the best-absorbed and gentlest forms, supporting muscle recovery and hydration without the laxative effect of cheaper oxide forms.
See more about Magnesium Glycinate →Calcium BisglycinateGood
Chelated calcium in a highly absorbable bisglycinate form, rounding out the four-mineral electrolyte profile.
See more about Calcium Bisglycinate →Citric AcidNeutral
Standard tartness and pH agent; safe at these amounts with no meaningful nutritional contribution.
See more about Citric Acid →Natural FlavorNeutral
Unspecified flavoring — the term can cover many components, but nothing in this sugar-free, dye-free formula flags a concern.
See more about Natural Flavor →Organic SteviaNeutral
Zero-calorie plant-derived sweetener with organic certification; a clean non-nutritive choice over sugar or artificial sweeteners.
