concerned about the sugar content.

There’s also sugar free Liquid IV, but they can cause gastrointestinal issues given that they use sugar alcohols to sweeten it.

Liquid IV is mostly sugar which makes it less great as hydration in my opinion

Just water doesn’t help when I’ve lost so much salt sweating. But water usually.

Liquid IV/Nuun for most runs. The better stuff is like Skratch, Gnarly/Tailwind

There are myriad sports and hydration options. They differ on amounts of sugar

save some money and just buy redmond sea salt. Same stuff.

It is owned by Redmond, and the salt comes from the mines down in Redmond

I'm yet to try anything that beats Nuun tablets.

I use these as well. Gatorlyte works well, also - but lots of sugar.

Gatorlyte tastes horrible.

Depends on the circumstances. For everyday training, usually one in the morning
