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!

Answer

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
