Best additive for my water bottle that isnt high in calories or sodium
Looking for a good product to add that isnt salt....would like pottasium and magenisum ???

What's wrong with just plain old water? How long are your rides? How hot is it?

Nun tablets should fulfill that requirement without all the other additives.

Add some "Lite" salt to your drink. It has potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride.
And a dash of sugar and some lemon juice. |

I use the Camelback tablets. Forgot what they're called, but they have almost no calories and the berry flavor tastes great.
And of course there's always Brawndo...... ; - ) |

Potatoes are high in potassium as are white beans and leafy greens. No need to add these to your water to enjoy the benefit. |
Hammer Nutrition Heed ... low in calories, high in electrolytes .... works well for me.

I recently discovered these:
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=42650 The electrolytes include sodium, magnesium and potassium. If you don't want any sodium in your mixture you may be able to find food quality potassium chloride or potassium bicarbonate. Potassium bicarbonate will probably make the water taste unpleasant (I used to drink diluted sodium bicarb to ease indigestion and it tasted foul but did the job). Or you can look for foods high in potassium that you enjoy eating. I quite like bananas so never looked far beyond there, I think nuts are usually pretty good for minerals but they are high in calories as well. |
and hi in calories

Because adding something to your diet doesn't mean it has to be added to your water bottle.

Brawndo, it's got what plants crave.

Potatoes with the skin on are high in potassium, sadly so many people just peel them.
