Food & hydration
Trail nutrition and hydration sit beside gear decisions: water treatment, electrolytes, gels, bars and camp cooking when you are not on hut half-board. This hub links filters, electrolytes and energy products without medical dosing claims — use trek food guides for route-specific meals.

Electrolytes
Electrolyte powders and tablets for multi-day hiking — packability, taste fatigue and how you mix on trail. Product facts and packing notes only; this is not medical dosing advice and never replaces personal hydration judgment. Use this filter with the food and water-filter pages when building a trek packing list.
Energy gels
Trail energy gels as packing fuel — carbohydrate density, wrappers that do not explode in a hip belt, and how gut tolerance varies between brands. Editorial packing context only, without health or performance claims. Compare options here, then fold chosen gels into the trek packing lists and food guides.
