I read Robb Wolf's book in 2012 and it just clicked. I'm still a recovering libertarian. Been meaning to try LMNT for a while, this thread finally forced my hand. Thank you everyone

Gravity Water System with Fluoride Removal Filter
Water filtration is about more than just what you filter out! The highest quality filtration also adds healthy minerals back in - the Gravity Water System first reduces impurities found in tap water like lead, fluoride, and chlorine, and then adds healthy minerals back to your water like calcium...

This is what I use. I felt a noticeable difference once I switched. I still use the Trace power paks on hot days but this helps a lot with keeping up on minerals.

Around here all these you guys show don't exist.
We take salt, sugar, honey, lemon, orange.
First we drink pure water till it doesn't work, then drop some of the previous mentioned mix in and carry on working.

Milk is the best beverage for hydration
I just drink lots of water - on really hot days I'll bring a powerade zero, gatorade zero, or lately propel.
My wife was having some sodium imbalance issues (not associated with dehydration, per say) feeling dizzy, light headed. She had tried a few different things. Friend gave her a Liquid IV. She was down and out within 10 minutes. Not sure what it was about it, but she won't be trying that again! Didn't pass out, but just about did - everything faded to black and started to spin. She laid down and almost instantly fell asleep for half an hour.

I’m not a Dr. so obviously take this for what it is but that sounds like a blood sugar issue. Liquid IV is loaded with sugar.

They've tested for that. Since that time they have decided her bigger issue was low iron...something's off. The Liquid IV, but it threw things off of balance worse and fast. She thinks it was the sodium....

Bummer man. I hope the Dr. is able to help her figure it out. Sounds like no fun.

I have a customer that thought she had heart problems and was traveling out of state for all kinds of testing. Turns out it was low iron. Also have an arborist friend that gave blood all the time to reduce his iron levels because he had high iron levels.
I don't understand why doctors don’t check for these things routinely during annual bloodwork.
Hope your wife gets feeling better!

Has your wife's sodium actually been tested? If low, easy fix. My MIL was having low sodium. Now she just takes a sodium pill each day. A few pennies a day and she is "cured".

I prefer straight water and use salt tablets as necessary. A little sugar is good for a slight pick-me-up.
Lite salt: NaCl and KCl, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per quart. Add a flavoring such as Stur or comparable

I've been using LMNT lately and am liking it. I have a hockey game tonight and will take some in advance for sure.
As much as we've been talking about it, I feel they should come be a sponsor here at Treebuzz, what do you think?

The only thing I don't like is the Stevia. There's a bunch of studies regarding fertility and stevia. It's most likely the lesser or all evils but artificial sweeteners of any kind are a deal killer for me. I'll likely use up what I have and not order more. There's other concerns than fertility but thats the biggie. Doesn't effect me but my kid has been drinking it and I ended up cutting that way back. Having said that, its a personal choice and they do seem like a good company so I wouldn't protest it.
I can't do the taste of Stevia or most other non sugar sweeteners.

We have a stevia plant on the porch and the kids love pulling leaves off and chewing on them, they are seriously sweet

I got thinking a couple months ago when we took our annual vacation to the beach……
Would seawater be a good supplement/electrolyte replacement?
Most sites said you’d need over a gallon to receive harmful effects.
I kept reef aquariums for years and realized that saltwater is chock full of minerals.
The fact that no one has run seawater through a UV sterilization system and bottled it makes me think it’s a poor idea or not marketable. There may also be a great risk of a lawsuit if someone drinks too much.
