Sooo... first of all, calculate your needs of electrolytes. If you eat enough calories potassium is easy to fill up your needs with. Everything has potassium. Same goes for Sodium. Really easy to get the full daily dose, especially if you eat dairy. Important for Sodium: Salt doesn't mean Sodium. Our kitchen salt is Sodium Chloride and only 40% Sodium. So you have to use more grams of salt than you get grams of Sodium. For heart health you should have only 1500mg of Sodium a day, so like 3.5g of salt. I don't supplement sodium at all. Pinch of salt in my bottle of water is the max I will do. Just if I was sweating a lot and really need a quick replacement outside of food. Potassium I supplement with 2g since 4.7g are recommended and you get a lot with every food item (I just eat once a day and not a large portion either). Magnesium I take as Magnesium Citrate at 375mg (pretty much full recommended dose since I walk a lot). Magnesium Citrate is highly bioavailable but is only Magnesium at around 15%, so 375mg are much more powder. Like 2.5g Those Sachet things are awful for the normal user. They're meant for marathon runners and similar long term cardio athletes that lose electrolytes like crazy over hours of activity. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T6F66D5 or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMHLLHHG (just examples, not recommendations) will give you a way to dose exactly do your needs and also over time. Especially Magnesium is always a laxative and the amount people can take as a single dose can be different. I mix my electrolytes in the first 1.5l of the day and just drink normally. Not every day either but as needed and based on activity levels
