I got to stop drinking Gatorade. Will a centrum silver
tablet once a day replace my "lost minerals" How about
sodium replacement. I get cramps when my sodium goes down.
Eating a bag of chips usually relieves the problem.

Chips are not healthy. As for your lost minerals, you'd have
to have a blood test to know what you are missing. Gatorade
is basically salt water that has been sweetened. If you do
indeed have a sodium problem on a regular basis, this is
something your Dr. needs to address.

Thanks Jim

I have been using a Low Carb sports drink called
"Electrolyte Stamina Power Pak." It is a powder. You add
water to make the drink. It has less than 3 Gm of carbs per
serving. I got it at a health food store. There are other
brands that do the same thing.

They have a web site traceminerals.comtraceminerals.comOpen ↗

I have no connection with this company.

None of the multiple supplements has adequate quantities of
any of the "common" minerals, such as sodium, potassium,
calcium, and usually magnesium is not enough. These are the
minerals for which the recommended dosage is in the order of
magnitude of a gram. At least one set of recommended values
was 2.3 grams of sodium, 1.2 of calcium, and 3.4 of
potassium.
