Electrolyte Drink – First Test Report

I did my first proper workout using the new electrolyte mix today. Unfortunately, my son had consumed all the lemonade concentrate earlier, so I improvised: fresh-squeezed lemon and a spoonful of brown sugar to flavor the mix.

Initial Observations:

• The workout felt noticeably easier and more enjoyable.

• I did not experience the usual level of heat exhaustion, despite pushing just as hard as I normally do.

• Breathing was easier. My heart rate felt lower (unmeasured), and I was not gasping by the end of a heavy set.

• I was still soaked in sweat, still moving fast, but not drained. (I like very intense workouts.)

Is it placebo? Possibly.

The placebo effect is real. For me, it usually wears off by the third exposure. So I will know by the end of the week whether this result is consistent or just early hype.

I did not have time to mix the 100 doses I had planned. I will begin with 10 to allow faster iteration on the recipe.

Next time, I will be adding a secret ingredient. I will report on that once I have tested it.
