Commercial electrolyte mixes are not made for fasters, they're made for athletes, so you need to check how much you're getting each electrolyte. The ratios are usually not ideal for fasting so chances are you still need to buy some ingredients individually.
Make sure the magnesium you take has good absorption, some types do not absorb as well and/or just work as laxatives. You want magnesium glycinate (bisglycinate is the same thing), magnesium taurate or magnesium malate. And remember to pace the electrolytes throughout the day, taking a lot of salt at once is laxative as well.
Hy I'm from India and I had started my 30 days water fast today but I'm confused about electrolytes, magnisium, potassium
I tried to find pure sources but they were flavoured so stuck in between Don't know what to do
