    I’m also curious. Is there a particular kind of salt?

        Isn’t Epsom salt like a majority water?

  Would that prevent hyperhydration, or would you need it to have more than just salt? 🤔

  lol no. It says “a day”. It says nothing about when exercising or sweating your ass off outside when you might need to actually care about adding salt.

  I drink about a gallon a day of water and my normal diet replenishes things just fine. Your kidneys shouldn’t be dumping a bunch of stuff out that you’re already low on. They’re not mindless filters that run at a constant rate.
