Good questions. I don't understand why some people are using potassium chloride when the goal is to get more sodium. Is it because we formerly ate too much processed food and were told to avoid sodium? I've been adding sea salt, sodium chloride (with assorted minerals) per Phinney and Volek's recommendation.

I just drink water after exercise, but make sure to get some salt at my next meal. If I really felt depleted, I guess I might drink broth.
