• Water=2L
• Potassium chloride =1 tsp
• Sodium chloride = 1/2 tsp | (I would suggest using air dried sea-salt, or Himalayan pink, not Morton's table salt)
• Sodium Bicarbonate = 1 tsp
• Magnesium Sulphate = 1/2 tsp

Even cheaper at Vitacost. (Although I did not look at shipping cost.  When I order from a site like this, I buy enough to get free shipping.)

Electrolyte drinks are ripoffs.  If you look into it, they give you maybe 5-10% of your recommended daily intake of sodium / potassium.

You'd be much better off getting some sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium ... the four basic electrolytes.  If you get them in a powdered form and blend them into water, well, if you don't add any other flavoring, you won't be breaking the "spirit of Lent" by any stretch.  Stuff tastes foul, especially the magnesium.  That's actually one reason (besides cost) that Gatorade and other electrolyte drinks have so little of them actually in there.  Nobody would spent $2 per bottle for something that tastes terrible.

Also, be very careful of magnesium, because it'll cause diarrhea if you take even a bit too much (it's a major ingredient in many laxatives).  I would start with no more than 10-20% of the recommended RDA, spread out throughout the day, and then build up to it.

For sodium + potassium, I but this "Low-Sodium Salt" that's basically half sodium chloride and half potassium chloride.

In any case, I tend to make my own electrolyte drinks because they can have 10x the electrolytes for 1/10th of the cost.

If you don't want so much of the chloride, you can get powdered potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate.  If you use some potassium iodide, you also get some iodine, which is good for you and in which most diets are deficient.  You can also buy sodium citrate.

Magnesium glycinate is the form that's best absorbed and least likely to cause diarrhea.  Calcium citrate seems to the best absorbed form of calcium.

Magnesium Glycinate:

If you want to avoid Amazon, you can get it right off the Bulk Supplements website for about the same prices:

These might look expensive, but they'll last you forever, and would be 1/1000th of the cost to get the same electrolytes from something like Gatorade.

I deleted the coles and the number at the end thus
vitaceuticals-magzorb-magnesium-powder-1000mg-240g

https://vitaceuticals.com.au/product/magzorb-powder/It
The 240 is grams (total weight of product) and the 1000mgG is milligrams (dosage). Not a bad buy while on special.

Couldn’t just eat bananas?  I’m munching on plantain chips and they are full of potassium.
