The morning glass that keeps you in ketosis
Three things your body runs low on overnight — minerals, amino acids, and an antioxidant — in one glass you can drink fasted.
You cut the carbs and rode out the rough first week. You're fat-adapted now, and you're not here for a pep talk.
But you probably still wake up a little flat — foggy until the second coffee. And that first-week "keto flu" wasn't your body rejecting the diet. When you cut carbs, your insulin drops, and low insulin tells your kidneys to flush salt all night. You woke up genuinely low on minerals.
Three things run low overnight. None of them are food, and all three fit in one glass of water you can drink fasted — for about a calorie, with nothing that touches ketosis.
This is the glass the human biologist Gary Brecka drinks the moment his feet hit the floor.
The three things
Minerals
Real sea salt — not just sodium. The minerals in it are what actually pull water into your cells. Plain water mostly runs straight through you.
Baja Gold Sea SaltAmino acids
The eight your body can't make. PerfectAmino gives them in free form, so they get used to rebuild you instead of burned off like most of the protein you eat.
PerfectAminoAntioxidant
A hydrogen tablet for the extra oxidative stress fasting and ketosis create — without switching off the signals your body adapts on.
H2Tab Molecular HydrogenThe man behind it
Gary Brecka spent about two decades reading bloodwork for the life-insurance industry — predicting, with money on the line, how long people had. What he says he learned is simple: most people aren't broken, they're just short on a few basic inputs the body can't make for itself.
"The moment my feet hit the floor, I hydrate. Not coffee, not food — water with minerals; I drink a tall glass of water loaded with Baja Gold Sea Salt, molecular hydrogen from an H2Tab and Perfect Amino." He's a human biologist, not a doctor. And he co-founded H2Tab — we'd rather tell you that than have you find out later.
Does it break your fast?
A fast breaks when you take in calories, raise your blood sugar, or spike insulin. All three pass.
| Input | Calories | Blood sugar | Insulin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baja Gold | |||
| H2Tab | |||
| PerfectAmino | ~0.2 kcal |
One honest exception: if you fast specifically for autophagy — the deep cellular clean-up — the amino acids switch it off. If that's your goal, take PerfectAmino in your eating window instead. The salt and the hydrogen stay fasted either way.

A few questions
Will the aminos kick me out of ketosis? No. The dose is tiny — no carbs, about a calorie, no real blood-sugar move. Gluconeogenesis doesn't flip on from a few grams of amino acids.
Is the salt bad for my blood pressure? This isn't table salt — it's unrefined sea salt, less sodium per pinch, with magnesium and potassium intact. You're replacing what you flushed overnight. If you've been told to limit sodium, check with your doctor first.
Is hydrogen water just hype? There's real science behind it (a 2007 Nature Medicine study and a lot since), but it's still early. The honest claim is that it supports your body's own antioxidant defences — not that it cures anything.
