Hey Kent,
Have you discussed this with your doctor? I would treasure his response. Most of us, well at least me, are not qualified to answer that question. Nick

In a non sweating setting, mineral water is the way to go. The electrolytes function to carry the water out of the gut and into the cellular level.

Hyponatremia is common knowledge in the endurance field because so many have died from water intoxication. They overdrank water while dehydrated and all the gut was filling up and not releasing it quick enough.

Sodium and potassium are the 2 main ingredients neede but calcium, chloride, phosphate, sulfiae, bicarbonate and magnesium are important too.
