I got this idea today and made this sports drink which was very effective at energising and hydrating me.
500 ml freshly squeezed OJ
0.5 g calcium carbonate or eggshell powder
1.5 g magnesium carbonate
About 1 1/2 teaspoon honey
A pinch of salt
Directions: measure the magnesium and calcium in a cup, add salt and honey and a bit of the OJ. Mix very well, allow the foam to subside (the calcium and magnesium carbonates will react with the citric acid in the OJ forming Mg and Ca citrates). Pour in your bottle and add the rest of the OJ.
Hope you like it! Any suggestions regarding ratios or other helpful additions welcomed. I was also thinking about potassium but I didn't have any.
