Electrolyte Tabs?

salt is 99% of what you sweat out, anyway.

I went looking for data on this and couldn't find any. Do you have any references? Instinctively I find that a little hard to accept.

I know for sure I sweat out lots of magnesium, for one thing. And it really bothers me to replace sodium but not potassium - my blood pressure tends to run marginally high, and my dad has been on BP pills since he was in his 30s.

My choice is Emergen-C. I just hate the little packets. Sometimes I mix my own stuff with sugar, salt, baking soda and potassium chloride, then just take a 1:1 calcium-magnesium supplement later. But it tastes pretty funky with no flavoring.

I've used Elite drops (tastless in any water bottle/camelbak bladder) or tabs. They're great and not expensive.
