Fruit juice has vitamins and other micronutrients, but it doesn’t necessarily have that elemental salt profile.
Blackstrap is the good stuff, it’s got potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron. Because of how it is produced, it has lots of the impurities of the sugar concentrated in it. Sorghum molasses is okay but not as good for this as blackstrap is. Take a look at the nutrition facts, and you’ll see a bunch of quantities for stuff that’s on the periodic table. I suspect various other concentrates might have similar properties.
Typically I add maybe 20g molasses per liter of water, with another 10g of iodized salt or baking soda or cream of tartar (potassium hydrogen tartrate).
I had a health condition for a while that had me carrying salt water on my person for a year, just as a precaution.
You enjoy your employment and you even enjoy your commute. Then what’s the problem? Are your coworkers having an even better time at work than you are? I don’t understand.
