    Likely from some company trying to sell expensive foul tasting “sports water”. Eat a bag of crisps with your water if you are really concerned about your salt intake.

    Drinking distilled water will not leave you thirsty. And on a study here in Australia on teenagers drinking electrolyte sport drink vs water while doing athletics, it was proven there was better athletic performance from the water drinkers… Which brings a lot of the advertising into question.

      Sorry, what study exactly?

      Electrolyte (e.g. Potassium) replacement during intense exercise is essential. That’s why every athlete nowadays uses it.
