What is the correct ingredient measurments for a homemade electrolyte water mix?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wouldn't try: You don't toss a bit of sugar & salt in some water & call it an electrolyte mix. Any situation where the body needs a re-hydration mix should have one that is made properly. In some localities you can find packets of pre-mixed ingredients that you add to a fixed amount of water. Otherwise the risks of error in compounding this make it ill advised.
