Electrolyte supplements

[BKhunter]

Hey All,

Can anyone recommend some good electrolyte supplements? I am not a fan of sweet drinks and really only drink water on a daily basis but looking for a supplement to have in the backcountry. Any ideas?

We drink the enduro from mountain ops at about half to full stength just depending, when we're hunting, it's not that sweet in my opinion. At home and for work etc, we drink the electrolyte mix from emergen C, it's not sweet at all, light lemon lime taste, really good! One pack makes a liter of water.

I like the Wilderness Athlete Hydrate & Recovery.

I like the NUUN tabs.

Both WA Hydrate & Recover and Nuun for me.

Big fan of WA. I like to mix energy and focus with Hydrate and Recover. They call it a superman. Wasn't a big fan of enduro

Wilderness Athlete Hydrate and Recover. I am liking it better than the Enduro. I like the fact that it has BCAAs.

I have used both Hammer Heed and WA Hydrate & Recover. Both are good. Emergin-C also works well

Gotta be careful with the Superman mix- if I have any of the Energy & Focus after noon I have a hard time falling asleep that night. I guess everyone's body responds differently to caffeine but I only do the Energy & Focus in the morning.

Most of the time - Nuun Active. Just pure electrolyte tabs that come in convenient packaging. Sort of like an Alka-Seltzer tab you drop in your water as needed.

I will also pre-mix WA Hydrate & Recover and Energy & Focus packets to bring with me on my hunts.

Interesting, enduro has no potassium and WA contains fructose.

I use Pedialyte.

I like the WA Hydrate and Recovery mixed with their energy and focus. They call it the super man. Been using it for the last 6 month daily while doing CrossFit and training for the backcountry.

I use Salt Stick. Running and triathlon forums are a great source for info, too.

Would a BCAA supplement be able to be used for this?

 

[ezmorningrebel]

i like the nuun energy tablets.

Nuun are good for what they are...not the best tasting in my opinion.

I really like Skratch Labs stuff. Good ingredients and mellower taste. The matcha one tastes great and has some natural caffeine.
I posted in the nutrition sections quite a few different products I have used.


A BCAA supplement (depending on what you are taking) won't have electrolytes.

Hammer Nutrition Endurolytes are awesome and I highly recommend them.

Me too. Ive been using Hammer products for years since I started running marathons. It doesnt have any artificial sweetners or frankensugars. It is the only thing that has never upset my stomach. I use their Heed (electrolyes plus calories), Endurloyte Fizz (just electrolytes, no calories) and their Recoverite is awesome!
