electrolyte powder mix in bulk?

kumate_champ07

Im looking to buy a 1kg tub to mix with water, no/low carbs. just something to drink during intense indoor turbo/spinning as I sweat buckets.

there must be cheaper options than buying a tube of 20 tablets

I like this stuff (the Summer Fruit flavor is tasty!) -

The op wants a bulk version of nuun tabs or high5 zero tabs by the sound of it (rather than super carbs). I'd be interested in this too!

A teaspoon of salt?

OP, just remembered Dioralyte. Might do what you want?

Commonly available, can't remember how it tastes (probably not as nice as lemon and lime Nuuns), dunno if you should dilute it down for use with exercise or should you leave it at full "post dose of the trots" strength.

Salt, lo-salt, bit of glucose.

Dioralite ratio is:

5g of lo-salt to 3g regular salt to 36g of glucose. That's enough to make 2 litres of electrolyte drink and gives you a 50 / 50 split between potassium and sodium.

If you want to ditch the glucose completely you'll reduce the rate that the liquid passes out of your stomach and into your intestines and through your small intestine wall (i.e. leaving out the carbs will significantly reduce the speed of absorption).

When I want dioralite I'll use that mix and use sugar-free mi-wadi (just makes the carb calculations easier). Tastes much nicer and is obviously cheap as chips. Regular sugar will work too if you don't have glucose.

I had recently ditched the more sugary Powerbar powder and gone for the Nuun tabs - which took a little getting used to, but love them now.

Would this 5g/3g/36g with a drop of sugar-free Miwadi/Ribena do the same trick ?
Great saving and much more convenient if this is the case.
