Hydrating Powders

I used to use S.I.S. (Science in Sport). Various flavours, buy in a sachet then a bigger bottle if you like it.
Looks like the range has changed since I last used them but take a look here,

Not a powder but I am a fan of the old way of doing it so I replenish the electrolytes and hydrate using pickle juice.

Check out Hammer Nutrition.
A link to their "electrolytes page" is https://hammernutrition.com/collections/electrolytes
I have only used Fizz which acts like an Alka Seltzer when dropped in water. Two options are capsules and two require dissolving in water.

Liquid IV is the brand Costco sells and it is very popular and comes in several flavors. And yes everyone - you have to add water. It just helps the body retain the hydration.

Google Military approved hydration powers and pills and you will see lots of options. When I was in the Army in the 1960s we took salt pills. Make sure you check with your doctor first before you take anything and get his/her opinion.
Salt pills are NOT recommended these days. Get your salt requirement from salty food.

Working in the Refinery labor gang in the hot summer required salt pills. You couldn't eat enough salty food to make up the difference

That may be your perception but I doubt it is medically supported. Working in hot conditions is an area that has been researched a lot in recent decades, particularly in hot countries like Australia.

Water isn't so good at replacing the electrolytes lost with heavy activity in hot humid conditions. Gatoraide and the like replace water, salts and who knows what else. I think Gatoraide comes in powder form, but there are likely a number of other brands that do the same with different taste. I tasted Gatoraide once and hated it.
Personally, I'd prefer water and get my salt needs from salty foods.
Then again, I try not to sweat too much these days...

Gatorade tastes like sweat to me.

Drip Drops has numerous flavors. If too sweet for your taste, use less powder.

Salt is an important ingredient for proper body functions and workers often carry salt pills .My wife was whisked away one day in an ambulance in critical condition. The problem, low sodium. They gave her salt pills. Believe me, working in the heat was no perception, obviously you have never had that experience. A pill was the best way to quickly bring the level up to normal. Doctors recommend them. Please check your facts before making an authoritative general statement about a medical subject.

That's exactly what you need to replace the sweat with all it's contents lost through heavy exercise!
