Are there alternatives of comparable quality but more reasonably priced?

Yes. Half a teaspoon of table salt per liter. Add two or three of those
fizzy nutrition supplement tablets for additional minerals to taste. Just
read the ingredients on the original powder to find a long list of
benign non-reasons to buy it.

I use a potassium-based salt substitute. Cheap and it works.


Meaning it reliably prevents cramps and bonks? IOW the potassium is the
only ingredient in those drinks that a longhaul cyclist really needs? I
didn't know that but it sure would be nice.
