Skeletal Ca and Mg
What's missing are data on rates of loss versus replenishment of Ca and Mg from bones during and after exercise. Alan gave numbers for Na in sweat. I take it that replacement of useful Mg from ...

Are more backpackers a good thing?
Introducing more people to backpacking is enlightening to society. However, it has a negative impact on the wilderness. I am conflicted. I really like getting off trail, just my wife and I alone f...

Re: Gatorade/Pedialyte/Malto

Gatorade/Pedialyte/Malto
Gatorade is pure sugar water. If the osmolarity is 900, your body will add water until it is ~300, then suck out the sugar and water together, replenishing the water to your body. Meanwhile, you a...

Re: JMT Fast Gel

JMT Fast Gel
I've been putting 2000 calories (1 lb Perpetuem) into a 2L bottle. Since I've started on the MyoGel (thread in nutrition), I put 2000 cals in 42 oz - a 32 oz Gatorade in the pack and a 10 ...
