Comment on Deficiencies

NGL, I’ve spent a decade wondering why I couldn’t sleep at night and couldn’t concentrate all day, only to realize way too late I was low on electrolytes because of my exercise routine.
And if anyone is wondering, sports drinks are worthless sugary drinks shrouded in “sporty” marketing. Vitamin C, D and magnesium is what did it for me. Consult a doctor.

Drip drops help me, body amours aren’t enough. I want to try LMNT. Or some other brands.

There are low sugar sports drinks. Most of the electrolytes they’re advertising is just salt. Your body needs salt to function. You lose salt when you sweat.
My doctor told me I come literally just put some table salt in water and it would do just as well as any sports drink, sugar or no.
I work in a physical environment and they hand out electrolyte packets and Gatorade like candy when it gets hot.

I love the electrolit cucumber lime. Not so much sugar. Water is still my main drink though.

Potassium is also an important electrolyte for heart health, so have a banana with your salt water, if you can. source: www.cdc.gov/salt/…/index.html

Coconut water has a lot more potassium than a banana

For me, it’s pickle juice.
