    Yikes, that guy had untreated sylphilis then took 1100% of the daily Manganese dose and more that a lethal dose of salt. I’m shocked he survived.

  artificial apple flavor

  Is this something horses actually like, or was it put there knowing very well humans would be consuming it

    Horses, generally, really like apples.

  mixing a bit of table salt and sugar in a glass of water will do pretty much the same thing and cost less than both of those.

    As a horse electrolyte salesman I strongly condemn the idea that people can be healthy without corporate intervention.

    i think potassium is what actually makes the difference since it’s so critical for peeing the right amount and you tend to lose a lot of it

        Have a normal, balanced diet if you aren’t extremely active. So yeah, just eat a banana. :)

        I run a lot and a sweat a lot, so my electrolyte loss is fairly high. (You can see the buildup of salts on my gear after it dries and before I wash it.) Electrolyte supplements are great for athletes that can’t practically make up the losses with regular food intake.

        But… To say that Gatorade and other electrolyte drinks are overused by people who aren’t active is an understatement. Many people simply do not need the extra boost of sugar and salts and it’s just going to get pissed out anyway.

        The reason I am a bit vocal about this is that 1. People should actually eat a decent diet just to get these basic salts and 2. Electrolyte supplements are awesome, extremely basic but extremely overused. They are extremely important, but not in the way marketing departments say they are.

      Wait really? I would like to have an argument with a nurse fifteen years ago about this what do I need to know

    Sodium chloride is not the only electrolyte the body needs. It’s fairly important to keep a healthy balance: medlineplus.gov/fluidandelectrolytebalance.html

  My biggest shock here is that it’s an actual product and not slop hallucinogenics.

  Wait is cobalt a nutrient?

    A minor one and a component of Vitamin B12.
