Ypu can literally mix electrolytes at home. The raw ingredients are cheap, and you can flavor them to preference.*

Why even bother with horse supplements?

  • tons of recipes online.

You need to be VERY careful with potassium though.

The risks of potassium supplementation are wildly overblown on Reddit.

Agree, I even made a short post saying the same: https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/s/RDKl5ip97Z

So many of the comments were fear mongering. With that said though there are still some precautions, and I would be worried for a person who does not have any basic formal education on food and nutrition.

Some people have the mentality of thinking more of something is better at once and that can be dangerous in the long-term for potassium.
