    combine this with the monkey chow diet and you have peak human food consumption right up until you die from all the weird shit in there that is unregulated besausemits not designed for humans.

    If you wanna save money from buying Gatorade? Sprinkle a tad bit of salt in tap water. That’s the amount of electrolytes the average person uses. If you need a little flavor then squirt a bit of mio.

    Electrolytes are electrolytes. Your horse gets a fuck ton more salt and no sugar, but it’s basically all the same shit at similar ratios. The electrolyte compounds all need to be bioavailable so there shouldn’t be major differences there. The biggest difference is likely purity and contamination tolerances. (Contamination would be things like insects, small rocks or sand, etc: Things that would still be non-toxic, but generally reduced for human consumption.)

    Edit: Still don’t drink the stuff. The ingredients are scaled for an ~1100lb animal so it should be a no-brainer to get the Gatorade instead.

    I mean it’s not like human food standards are that much higher than those for animals (in the U.S at least).
