Trace minerals for electrolyte solution?

Post by jackarabit » March 1st, 2016, 12:52 am

I have a bottle of "ConcenTrace" (trace minerals procured by an evaporative process from the Utah salt flats) left over from making probiotic water kefir. Has anyone had experience using this stuff to make mineral water? Does that sound like a good idea? States on bottle that 90% of sodium chloride has been removed. That's good. Has potassium and magnesium compounds. May be good? More than a dozen other metals and minerals. Good? Ate my fair share of mouse droppings and insect eggs but bit leary of ingesting everything that is "naturally occurring." Oddly, taste of the dosed water is pretty close to the taste of spring water so more palatable than many electrolyte/recovery drinks. Thoughts?

I like vino di tavola cut with gaz water. I could put a few drops of the salt solution in some cheap Sheraz maybe.

Sounds like a plan, Lefty. However, I call attention to your suggestion that I get sloshed "between intervals." Do you mean that I should raise the cup during the rest periods between repetitions of the task du jour? If that is the thought you wished to convey, you should be made aware that our fine moderator Mr. Doug Lawson [tip o the cap to ye, Sir!], in a previous examination of a curious vernacular usage of the word "interval," has insisted with not inconsiderable emphasis that said term may only properly be applied to the rest period between repetitions or bouts of activity. Following that line of country, you appear to be encouraging me to tipple while pulling the handle with both hands (between rest periods). I know that is not what you intend to say.
