    Common edible salt, sodium chloride, is properly cleaned for human consumption, this often isn’t the case for animal use. So there can be a lot of dangerous other stuff in there, like heavy metals. Again you list “salt”. What salt? Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or something else? You know how many salts there are?

    You know how fast we can get too much iron? Supplementing iron is something you should only do when your doctor tells you to. Too much calcium is also bad for your bones (become brittle). This can already happen when you drink milk on a daily basis. I don’t know about the rest, but there’s a chance it’s similarly dangerous to randomly supplement those too.

    If you want cheap electrolytes, buy ORS. Or make your own ORS mix, you can find online how to make it (plain kitchen salt or several salts if you’re fancy, and sugar, in water).
