Why does electrolyte powder give me a headache?

[alexzo114]

I've only tried it a few times, but I seem to feel worse most of the time.

If you don't need them, or if the specific salts in the mass-produced mix you've chosen aren't necessary for you, adding extra salts to your body won't make you feel good."

Do you need electrolytes? If you haven't just completed an intense workout, then no. Too many electrolytes can cause issues, just like not having enough can.

For me the ones with sucralose gives me headache

It's the artificial sugar. It becomes worse as you age. I can't consume any sugar-free products because of the artificial sweeteners. Even the 'natural' ones like stevia have the same effect on me. Monk fruit hasn't caused any issues yet, but I don't think it tastes very good. Because of this, I avoid eating or drinking anything sweetened."

It might not be the electrolytes, but rather the other ingredients. It could be the coloring, flavoring, or sweeteners used.
