I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising… salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?
Years ago I read that magnesium oxide has a very low absorption rate in the body, so it mostly passes in urine. The source said magnesium malate or citrate have much higher absorption.
Magnesium also competes with calcium for absorption. So it’s best to space them out.
You’re right. I meant to say Magnesium Citrate and only just now realized my mistake, two whole months later.
