Gatorlyte. It has 490mg sodium and 350mg potassium per bottle. It has that very distinct Pedialyte flavor that tells you it's legit. I can get it at the convenience store next to the local hiking trail, but not the one on main street
Welcome!
Make your own. The ratios are out there, just takes salt (NaCl), maybe some salt substitute (KCl), sugar, etc. It'll save you bundle of money.
I use the WHO reduced osmolarity ORS recipe which uses sodium citrate as well, it has worked pretty well.
