#4Also mitigated many millions of hangovers, including my own.
Too bad the commercial nature of “sports drinks” have dialed up the sugar and broke away from the clinical goal of rehydration.

#5“We’re enamored by high technology,” he said at the Council on Foreign Relations. “And we’re not in love with low-tech. Low-tech is always seen in our eyes as second-class. Why would you do this, when you could do that? And I would argue just the opposite.”
Noteworthy that others tried to gatekeep thier low tech approach and experimental efforts. So much "perfection, enemy of the good" in expert circles.

#6People tried oral rehydration before with isotonic solutions, even going as far as matching the concentration of minerals in plasma. It didn't work well for cholera.

Gatorade has a entire line of drinks for different purposes. Zero is what OP is looking for: https://performancepartner.gatorade.com/content/products/hyd...
The normal one is for high powered endurance activities and contains some carbs (sugar) to help fuel you through them.
They have one with even more carbs, sodium and potassium for people running marathons.
The last two on that chart aren't a good choice for someone who isn't active. Stick to the first two for that.
