I'm looking for a decent electrolyte supplement with a reasonable balance of magnesium and potassium, while being low on sodium. I eat enough salt in my diet so I'm not interested in supplementing it all that much.I started looking into a few of the most widely recommended/popular brands and realized they are all just absurd amounts of salt with barely any potassium and maybe sometimes a bit of magnesium. What the fuck is this shit, is this just the latest fitness grift? Selling retards saltwater with a tiny hint of potassium and magnesium and calling it an electrolyte blend? I'm guessing magnesium and potassium are more expensive than sodium hence why most of these products are so salt heavy while skimping on the magnesium and potassium. At this point I'm just considering buying the ingredients and formulating it myself.Anyone know good sources for pure/safe potassium and magnesium?
>>74126817Except for prolonged fasts, only sodium matters in terms of electrolytes.When you sweat, you lose pretty much only sodium, that's what you need to replenish.Put a pinch of salt in your water bottle. That's it.Supplements are a scam. Do a blood test to see if you're deficient in anything.Ps: ingesting "too much" sodium is not a problem if you're not fat. Your body will expel it through pee.

>>74126817I drink about 4 cups of skim milk post workout. It has more electrolytes and less sugar than Gatorade, plus the added benefit of protein, all while being cheaper. if you can afford the calories I would recommend it.picrel is for 4 cups, 333 cals and 33g of protein btw.
>ask about supplement>supplements are fake>drink milk.....

>>74127208no magnesium or potassium, this is just a shitty protein shake
>>74127208Gatorade is sugary poison anon.
>>74126947Yeah, water.Except if you lost your electrolytes, you don't need to ingest new ones.Salt is lost by sweating. The rest is slowly lost by peeing, but you replenish them by eating.It's like we're made to function that way.
>>74126817eat salt nigga
>>74126817>table salt is literally sodium chloride>"""chlorine""" source is a fucking tomatocaptcha: RNHATS
