Besides no laxative antifreeze, Zenergize also contains no laxative sugar alcohols. It does have magnesium carbonate, and "natural flavors" which is always a little bit worrying.

My second bottle of water gets electrolytes. I have a 1 liter water bottle. When I refill it, I pop in a Nunn tablet. Easy to do, easy to remember. Bananas also work great and are easy on the tummy.
I've read here and elsewhere that the rough-and-ready way to tell that you're low on electrolytes is to taste your sweat. If it doesn't taste salty, you're low.
It was 109 during my commute home yesterday. It felt like riding through an oven. I got stuck behind a city bus at a stoplight and decided to wait about 25 feet back because the heat coming of the back was so incredible.

Well, I think at this point I'll not worry too much about it, but begin to check into what's available locally. I also want to talk to my doc about it. Today, I rode early and it stayed in the 60's and 70's so I don't think I was sweating much. At about 26 miles, I started getting a little cramp in my right hamstring, but realized I just wasn't drinking enough. I consciously drank more over the next 5 minutes and it went away. No electrolytes needed, just more water. By the time I finished up, a tad over 30, I was fine. Hot weather is on the way, though.
