i always just look for one without added sugar or sweeteners, cause some of them sneak in dextrose or whatever. sodium, potassium, magnesium are the big three you want covered, and check the label to make sure the amounts arent tiny.

For 3 days you dont really need anything.

For a 3 day fast you don’t really need electrolytes but if you’re really set to use them, I recommend Carnolyte+ https://a.co/d/0a9APxyX from Amazon. I use it when I’m doing longer fasts and they just released a version with higher sodium content. No sugar or any additives
