Notes

Important Consideration - MUST READ

THE BELOW IS FOR AVOIDING DEHYDRATION OR VERY MILD DEHYDRATION THIS IS NOT GOING TO HELP WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE DEHYDRATION IF YOU’RE CONCERNED SEEK PROPER MEDICAL CARE

Critical Notes and Information

You MUST include a glucose (sugar) source for proper uptake of water and electrolytes (salts primarily) or the solution will be non-effective.
Potassium is an important electrolyte, not just sodium (salt). If possible, include a source of potassium as part of the recipe. See the ASU recipes for examples of getting potassium.
Potassium can be skipped but a food source for replenishing potassium is important if more than mild dehydration occurs.
If using coconut water, make sure it’s unflavored, unsweetened, etc. I use Vita Coco Coconut water ‘pressed coconut’
Use fresh fruit(s) for best effects ; juices tend to be processed heavily and may not have a good level of citric acid present which is part of the WHO recommendations for a hydration drink ingredient

Salt Source

Assume ‘salt’ means one of the following
- Himalayan pink salt
- Sea salt
- Kosher, iodized salt
Himalayan pink salt is the least processed followed by sea salt followed by standard table salt (get kosher, iodized salt if going with standard salt)
Sodium levels for the above salts are about equal and the crystal size adds the most variability to sodium level obtained (bigger crystal == less sodium)
Practically all 3 forms of salt can be swapped freely
