Yeah, I saw those mentioned in a low-carb forum, actually. I don't normally go more than an hour, and I tend to not drink ANYthing before or during 5K races. I know it's not good to do that, but those things are the only time I have an issue with incontinence (sorry; I'm SUCH an old lady sometimes) and the only thing that helps is to have no water at all in my system till after. I figure they're not all that long (shorter than my normal workout) and I only do the ones in cold weather, and so far it hasn't hurt me any (except for the chest pain after that last one, but I really think that was just smoke inhalation).
Anyway, we'll see. Just the potassium already seemed to be doing the job, so I'm not sure I need this stuff at all. I just figured it couldn't hurt to try it.
Now if I could just get below 127.8 again ... if it doesn't start dropping in the next week or so, I may try (gasp) eating even MORE, rather than cutting back.
