AFAIK Pedialyte is a perfectly good solution for the problem of electrolytes, if maybe on the expensive side. I’ve heard more complaints about its flavor than the other options, but if you know you like it that’s not an issue. The liquid form is also bulky, so if it were me I’d get a powder or drops, but maybe you have lots of space in which case it doesn’t matter.
is something like pedialyte a reasonable OTC solution for electrolytes or would you suggest mixing out own concoctions?

easy way is (per litre of water)
1 tsp nusalt or no-salt (potassium chloride)
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄8 tsp epsom salt (food grade) (it’s okay to eyeball small amounts of this, high therapeutic index)
6 tsp sugar
