I like Powerade zero personally.

The only drink I found that worked for me where muscle cramps were concerned is Zipfizz; however, it is expensive and depending on your carb allowance can be higher in carbs than you might like (I think one tube averages something like 2 carbs). I can get a pack of 20 at Sams for $20.00 but balk at the thought a 2-month supply costing me $60.00. I used to use 1 tube per day and didn't like it very strongly flavored so I just used more water to dilute it a bit. I would drink half in the morning with breakfast, and half in the evening with dinner which also made the 2 carbs tolerable for me. Sams is the only place I found them for this cheap. They are ridiculously expensive online and in other local stores like Vitamin Shoppe, etc. One other thing...Zipfizz DOES contain caffeine so this might be something else to consider. I currently use bouillon cubes, but they do not alleviate the calf and foot cramps I get every morning. The salt in the bouillon helps, but hasn't fixed the problem 100% so I'm still working on tweaking stuff in my daily regimen to find something less expensive that works consistenly for me.

You can also try ketoade.

It is a homemade concoction designed to help supplement electrolytes.

Here is the basic recipe from the Launch Pad.

Ketoade is simply 8-12oz of water, flavored with a no-cal, no-carb flavoring (like Mio), and mixed with a 1/4 tsp of salt and ¼ tsp of potassium salt. For those who can't/don't use artificial sweeteners, squeeze some lemon juice (or soak berries) and add some stevia to your electrolyte water.

I like pickles for the sodium.

I didn't know that had a name! I drink that every day. I use Stur (a stevia sweetened water enhancer), electrolyte/mineral drops (mentioned earlier), and I squeeze in 1/2 a lime (not a big fan of lemon water, and limes essentially have the same effect). They taste like a virgin cocktail, so sometimes I even put them in a pretty drinking glass when with friends who are drinking booze.

I've always made my own... My husband gets dehydrated frequently so we make one up with 1/4 t salt, splash of lemon juice, room temp water, shake in a blender bottle, chug... Sometimes I put stevia drops in, but usually I just drink it straight up. LOL

Mio Fit which has potassium and sodium. I also use something called Lyte Show (I bought it on amazon) and that has sodium, potassium, and magnesium. I usually mix the two. Lyte Show tastes salty but when I mix it with the mio its similar to a powerade or gatorade, but better imo. I like to do it this way vs drinking say a sugar free powerade because I get to control how much I put into my drink. Also! I use Lite Salt on my food which is half sodium and half potassium.

Save $$ and make your own, experiment until you find the best recipe for your body
