Someone mentioned once that Dr. Klimas was recommending
Nuun tablets. I've used them and like them okay. The "regular" one is the best for me (not the all natural one, and not the all day one), as the others have traces of zinc, b vitamins, etc. and sometimes my body does not like that. It's got sorbitol in it as a sweetener, though.
There was an article around here once that mentioned glucose potentially being an important part of optimal electrolyte absorption. But at least some seems to be absorbed fine without it, from my experience.
There's another thread here somewhere with recipes for homemade Gookinaid or whatever Vitalyte used to be called (I've tried the Vitalyte powder and it's fine, but it has sugar). I believe it was 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp potassium chloride (you can get crystals where you buy supplements) to 2 cups of water. An herbal tea bag or something might be a good idea, since potassium tastes nasty.
I don't think a splash of juice would hurt much either, just maybe skew the balance a bit towards the potassium side.
For comparison purposes, my nuun drink has 172.5 mg sodium, 48.5 mg potassium, and 12.5 mg magnesium (so that's probably not a bad ratio).
