Electrolyte Drinks: What Are You Getting In Yours?

I've been having some interesting discussions about electrolyte drinks in a Facebook group, and I'm curious to see what we're all actually getting in ours. I think it'd be useful to list what is in your electrolyte drink per 100ml, then say how much you drink in total per day, and what amount of the various components you are getting in total per day. Remember to check for the actual element, e.g. sodium rather than salt, and put in things like sugar, magnesium and so forth if they're in there. Here's mine.

Brand: home-made electrolyte drink.

Ingredients: Reduced sodium salt (Tesco's own brand) in water, at a dilution of 1/2tsp to a 27oz/800ml water bottle.

Per 100ml:

0.05g sodium

0.1g potassium

Amount drunk per day: around 2.5l

Total electrolytes per day from electrolyte drinks:

1.25g sodium

2.5g potassium

It's actually different proportions to what I thought. Hmm, I might go back to making it half low-sodium salt and half ordinary salt, which would give me a higher proportion of sodium. I do salt my food like crazy, of course, and that's ordinary sea salt, so that would probably balance it out.
