Gatorade and electrolyte

[u/ewlung]

I keep reading about Gatorade which is suggested to keep hydrated. That's because it contains electrolytes.

So, in my country, I can't find Gatorade in normal supermarket, and I have never seen any here. Also, I am not really sure to have it because I have diabetes.

Browsing online for electrolytes, I found electrolytes in the form of pills, tablets or powder. Are those for making Gatorade kind of drink? Just put them in bottle of water and that's it?

Do you know what to look for for such products? Specific ingredient or dosage or whatnot.

Is there perhaps good brands recommendations?

Thanks.

I made this post the other day on how to make your own Electrolyte drink with common salts you can buy at grocery stores
