seriously though- what is the need?
Dragging on hot days outside?
Dehydrated?
blood test result?

 

[AussieBear]

lots of hydrating, probably near borderline overhydrating at time.. introducing sauna suit, long workouts.. will dilute levels ..

i dont like the sugar electrolyte drinks they sell in aus. they dont sell no carb, no sugar ones in stores here. other online options in aus are way overpriced if using on a regular basis. so i make natural ones. at the same time, a quick powder would be nice...

i dont want to ship from usa, costs would make it pointless vs other options. i can buy some dissolvable tablets from UK for a fair price. however, if i could make me own super version with extra added vitamins and some source of protein, that would be cool to mess with..

...sounds like there is a market need... get a formula, mass produce, and get paid!

Look at the ingredients in these. Buy the ingredients separately. Mix appropriately. Drink. Profit?

thanks! i may look into that recipe, but is glucose anhydrous really required in such a mix?

i guess i'm going have to studying up on electrolytes, because i don't know shit about that.

Profits? Initially there wasn't any monetary goals in mind, just physical profits. BUT, now that you guys mention it...........there could possibly be an opportunity to push something like this in the future if i do lose 100+ pounds and claim it was part of me dietary program. If i hit me goals, im definitely going to try and monetize my success in whatever ways i can. without being shady about it though. Im not going to pitch any shady weight loss pill that could damage people.

The wife has a compounding chemist (pharmacist). We are kind of on a first name basis, but i wouldn't feel comfortable just showing up asking about this and that out of the blue. If i had 75-100 pound results already, id probably feel more comfortable then. Id probably ask him to clean up such formula and to enter some sort of partnership to produce a zero sugar, zero cal electrolyte drink and an electrolyte protein drink.. I do know this guy has connections to professional rugby clubs and other various types of rich people with plenty to waste on such an endeavor.

Doubtful, but many many millions be possible in aus. only 23-24 million people here. then youd have to compete with gatorade and powerade. because, they will just bring their zero suga shit over here. you'd probably have to go all trump and attack them.. be like, make aus great again.. will think about it, its not the main goal.. need to learn to make one first..

Or puff your chest out with your product and force them to buy you out. Boom.

I don't keep them mixed together, but what I use is powdered magnesium citrate(not because it's the best, but because it's cheap and for this purpose, effective), potassium chlorite, and MSM(very bitter, so sometimes I just chase a teaspoon with juice) and just some table salt. Take some country time lemonade powder and make some home-made sports drink.

All the other stuff people use in these drinks are very common in diets. It's really the potassium and magnesium for me that helps. So really, if you're just making sports drinks to save a buck just because those are your go to drinks, then do whatever. But if you realize you're missing specific nutrition in your diet, thus making your own drink. I highly recommend you look over the macros on your existing diet, crunch those numbers and see what is going to be the most effective.

Supposed to be great after a hard night of drinking.

If your body is depleted they replenish, it is marketed for babies though.

I haven't had much success with it, but that's anecdotal, and I feel like I'm actually more prone to hangovers.

Gatorade?

Gatorade?

too sweet here. they dont carry g2 lines here. nor does powerade have its zero line here. grape powerade zero and g2 rain berry were me go to drinks in murica premixed. or id buy boxes of grape propel zero carb/zero sugar.

i could get me sis to send me boxes and boxes of propel, but when you include shipping it becomes meh value wise. rather than pay shipping, she sends me kid cash for presents.

i can get some zero carb, zero sugar dissolvable tablets from UK. its about 50 bucks for 200 tablets which makes 100 litres worth + 9.99 shipping. which isnt bad when you factor in aussie costs of shit. i plan on drinking a litre of the stuff a day. at the same time, i could by a bunch of raw powders for way less and net way more liquid. i just need to figure out a recipe..
