But also, looking at LMNT, their ratios are all wrong for hydration, and they lack sugar, which makes it literally _useless_ IMO.

_If_ using electrolytes _for hydration_, what you _actually_ want is a mix of sodium and glucose (not a huge amount of sugar, it only takes a tiny bit) to activate proteins in the gut that basically pull water into your blood stream _faster than through osmosis_, legitimately resulting in faster rehydration than plain water. That's the entire idea.

If, on the other hand, the goal is to replace sweat losses, then you want a 2:1 ratio of sodium:potassium, generally. LiquidIV is also pretty good about this, too.

LMNT fails on both metrics, IMO.
