Seems like a lot of sugar.

You need to have the sugar because it is required to transport sodium across the cell membrane in the intestine. Without the sugar you will not absorb the salt, which is what helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance. This discovery has possibly saved roughly as many lives as antibiotics.
Hence the honey, plus you get magnesium and potassium from honey.

Probably no more or even less processed sugar than packaged and processed electrolyte offerings.

if you cut out all processed sugar, this is a good amount. I only eat meat and veggies and adding small amounts of honey and fruit made a difference
