Gatorade™ is way too strong to use as an electrolyte refresher in a seriously dehydrated individual. Needs to be diluted by at least 50%.

Not all the following are necessarily present in a particular Gatorade™ product:

Too much sodium, hypernatremia, can cause dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Too much potassium, hyperkalemia, can impact your kidney function and cause heart arrhythmia, nausea, and an irregular pulse.

Too much calcium, known as hypercalcemia, can lead to fatigue, lethargy, seizures, and bone and joint pain.

Too much magnesium can cause muscle weakness, nausea, dizziness, confusion, and heart arrhythmia. At its worst, it can cause muscular and neurological damage.

I just drink Cola or Ginger Ale, sip broth, and eat popsicles when I’ve got a cold or flu etc.

Good info. I have hyper parathyroidism which causes elevated calcium and in return the symptoms you listed, plus many more .

Just make switchel. Same electrolytes but home made and do much better tasting.
