Most people don’t need to replace electrolytes with anything but water and food except in special cases like they are:
The concentrations are very low and it contains artificial colors/additives, which are not good for you. Replenishing electrolytes is very important for your energy levels, athletic performance and overall well-being. Electrolytes don’t contain stored energy, but without electrolytes you can’t turn stored energy into usable energy. Electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium and calcium support the complex reactions that produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) within cells. ATP is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living creatures, including humans. ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel cellular processes.
