Common edible salt, sodium chloride, is properly cleaned for human consumption, this often isn’t the case for animal use. So there can be a lot of dangerous other stuff in there, like heavy metals. Again you list “salt”. What salt? Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or something else? You know how many salts there are?
You know how fast we can get too much iron? Supplementing iron is something you should only do when your doctor tells you to. Too much calcium is also bad for your bones (become brittle). This can already happen when you drink milk on a daily basis. I don’t know about the rest, but there’s a chance it’s similarly dangerous to randomly supplement those too.
If you want cheap electrolytes, buy ORS. Or make your own ORS mix, you can find online how to make it (plain kitchen salt or several salts if you’re fancy, and sugar, in water).
For fucks sake, dude. It’s an ingredient list. Salt means sodium chloride, obviously.
Too much of anything is bad for you. The dose is the poison and all that. I started this whole conversation by saying it would be important to make sure to check all the doses to make sure you don’t have too much of anything. The iron supplement is listed in ppm, by the way. Probably you’d survive.
I don’t want any electrolyte replacers. I’m not an athlete. I have no need for them. I don’t drink gatorade, so I don’t need a cheaper alternative. I just was trying to make a point about the FDA not being trustworthy, and you’re trying to win some stupid internet debate with delusions about feeding horses heavy metals like they aren’t toxic to horses as well. I looked up the full, actual detailed ingredient list (You can find it yourself if you don’t trust me. It’s not hard.) and the only things that are remotely close to being even a little problematic for humans are copper sulfate and cobalt sulfate, which are listed at 10 ppm and 0.3 ppm respectively. That is several orders of magnitude less than any kind of amount that would be anywhere near dangerous. Just don’t take so much that you give yourself hyperkalemia and you’d be fine.
