Hydration Mix

[Shawn]

Do any of your use a hydration mix or powder when hiking or backpacking?

This would be supplements designed to help replenish electrolytes and sodium back into your system.

Never have used supplements, though I think it is a good thing.

I use electrolytes because I sweat a lot of get dizzy if I don't.

Never experienced dizzy or low blood sugar, don’t know why

It might just be me. Like I said, I sweat a lot. I wear a lot of moisture wicking clothing and always have a towel with me on hikes and bike rides because of it.

I use a hydration bladder so I don't put anything but water in it. I drink a lot of Gatorade when I run races that have it and aren't cup less. I have a collapsible cup but I save that for soft drinks.
