I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising… salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

I use the WHO reduced osmolarity ORS recipe which uses sodium citrate as well, it has worked pretty well.
