Need help with electrolyte dosage

Hello everyone! I’ve seen on the wiki that the correct amount of electrolyte needed for a day is (except magnesium) :

-3g potassium

-3g sodium

I have some kind of potassium product with on the label :

For 100g:

-35g potassium

-33g salt

I’ve seen that salt is about 40% potassium.

So for a day I would need about :

-9g of the “salt replacement”

-5g regular salt

Is my math correct?

Thank you!

I’m of a firm belief that consuming electrolytes for smaller fasts (24-48 hr) isnt necessary. The minerals you absorb from eating is plenty

For longer fasts, biosteel is so damn perfect. 5 cal and negligible difference over these wild concoctions people come up with. Up in arms over 5cal that doesn’t even spike insulin and you burn off from a flight of stairs. Unreal lol

I know this doesn’t answer your question, I’m just venting a bit

People over complicate this part of IF
