If anyone wants to do the testing. My theory is that the chlorides in the Gatorade complex with the ionic silver increasing it's solubility. But gatorade also contains glucose (Which can under the proper conditions change ionic silver to colloidal silver), citric acid which can make silver citrate that is very soluble (but is is expected that this would not last and would still be converted to silver chloride complexes). But maybe the citric acid increases the producion of complexes, or maybe the glucose reduces the ionic to particles, or increases the complexing of the chloride, no one really knows. So if one wants to reduce the electrolyte down to just those elements that are necessary, then they are going to have to do some testing to verify that certain elements are NOT necessary for the benefit.
