Yes, as far as I can determine, Gatoraid is used. There are several recipes for it online. Here is one with citrus in it as I’ve seen arguments that Ebola depletes Vit C from the body though those treatments call for much more than this small amount. I bet she used Vit C in IV form.

Gatoraid recipe:
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unsweetened flavored drink mix (enough for 2 quarts)
1/2 teaspoontable salt (sodium chloride)
1/4 teaspoon salt substitute (potassium chloride; eg. Morton Salt Substitute)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup granular fructose (can substitute 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs. corn syrup)
1/2 teaspoon citric acid (can substitute 2 tbs. lemon juice)
water, to make 2 quarts

Thank-you for this recipe. I am going to gather all these ingredients with your recipe and put it in a separate box in my preps.

I also saw those post for vitamin C. Funny thing, I was craving something tart this afternoon, and I immediately thought of my stored food and how I would satisfy my body’s need for vitamin C. ( I do have some packed for this reason.)

I have a calamondin bush in the backyard and I bought frozen calamondin from the Asian market yesterday. I wonder if triple sec in a margarita will work in a pinch during a shelter in place scenario (lol).
