I have a local vitamin store that carries a brand called Trace Minerals. I was going to pick some up tomorrow unless someone tells me that it's not a good brand to go with.
I've heard others recommend Selectrolyte, but I would like to avoid making an online purchase if I can pick it up locally.
Any thoughts?
I've still had problems with the dehydration, vein pulsing, water retention, etc..

E-lyte electrolyes in liquid form are the best I have found. www.bodybio.com (DK used to recc this line b4 he started carrying his own)
Very good product. Order 2 bottles to save on shipping.
Best

Does anybody know if the homemade electolyte mixture would contain phosphorus? I believe it is made with honey, potassium chloride powder, and something else.

There is a difference between what is referred to as Trace Minerals from what is referred to as Electrolytes. They are not the same. Google helps.
The content in the different electrolyte mixtures sold by different companies is not the same, or at least not always the same. The research behind the combination is very important and that is what you need to pay attention to. Different people have different needs, and different doctors have found that to be the case and recommend accordingly.

Hi Wolf'd,
Trace Minerals is not the same as electrolytes, even though electrolytes contain a few / some minerals; not the same.
I've searched for a good electrolyte concentrate at local stores as well and haven't been able to find one. What I found was more like Gatorade; lots of sugar in it and artificial stuff.
I use Selectrolytes by Morin Labs and I order over the phone because it's half the shipping cost that Paypal adds to the order. (Morin urges people to call them too.) There was also another brand that someone posted I've been wanting to try, from World Health Mall called Minerals of Life. Don't know how much their shipping costs are though. Both contain phosphorus.
