I use to just put a pinch of NaCl in my bottles. Salt. Plain old table salt. It's generally considered the main one you need.

I do put Hammer Nutrition's Enduralytes Extreme Powder in my bottles. Just a half scoop or tad more if I'm using their Heed, as it already has some electrolytes. And 3/4 to a full scoop if using my own maltodextrin mix. Their product is a little pricey. Might could just get by using some Morton's Lite Salt as it has several electrolytes in it's composition.
Yep. Sodium is the only electrolyte requiring repletion during exercise.
