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?

Our diets are already rich in sodium. Because it makes food more tasteful.
You really don’t need any additional sodium
Edit. Who downvoted a basic fact? Sodium is table salt guys, we already eat enough of it
Maybe, but do you really think you could keep that down?
I’ll practice with a smaller banana to train my gag reflex
That sounds horrible. Can you share the link?
I actually take electrolyte tablets with me when I hike. Hyponatremia (having dangerously low salt levels) can really sneak up on you when you are hiking in the heat for four or five days straight. You keep hydrated, but there just isn’t enough salt in your food to replace what you lose. Dropping a straight tablet of salt can really help balance that
