Acute sodium loading

@WindWarrior How much water do you consume per hour on very hot rides?

And…

Does anyone have a really solid explanation for why 3 sodium citrate products have such strikingly different sodium amounts listed per 1/2-tsp?

Here are my guesses:

  1. Differences in water content.
  2. Disodium vs. trisodium citrate
  3. Legal nutrition facts rounding allowances
  4. Fineness of granulation
  5. Measurement error?

The sodium amounts are correlated to the weights associated with the 1/2-tsp serving size. There still appears to be a massive fudge factor.

Paging @redlude97. I’ll be grateful for ELI5.
