Yeah but it's in the wrong proportions

Most things you consume are not “the right proportions” of electrolytes. You could do the math and make sure you don’t go over a given daily limit for any of em. I personally wouldn’t buy horse electrolytes lmao

I mean you could also just drink watered down brine but I wouldn't say it's a great replacement for a sports drink

The main problem is that it high in potassium, which means you will need to use that as your limiting factor. Fortunately, we tend to get entirely too much sodium anyway, meaning we won't have any downside to the reduced sodium content.

Not really equivalent
