When severely dehydrated, drinking water can cause red blood cell death due to the large disparity in inner cell concentration to outer cell concentration, causing a massive influx of water and the cell to pop
That’s not really how that works. It would be how it worked if you directly injected water into your bloodstream, but you’re drinking it instead. The way it is absorbed through your stomach/intestines is not going to cause your blood cells to become destroyed unless you drink an insane quantity of it, like multiple gallons in one sitting. We are meant to be able to drink regular water.
I usually just get them from aldi. They seem to do the job
Why do you need supplemental electrolytes?
I sleep with my mouth open and wake up with a bad headache at times due to dehydration
Couldn’t you just drink more water?
