Alternative to Gatorade? Need electrolytes!

My son will be participating in marching band practice this summer, 90+ degrees heat for several hours at a time. The kids suck down Gatorade, Power-aid, etc. to keep hydrated through out the day. BUT - these all have natural flavors (among the other 1,000 chemicals, ha) and we strictly avoid anything with "natural flavors" as an ingredient to avoid PG. Is there a way to get electrolyte powder that are unflavored, that he can add to regular water? Or electrolyte powders that don't have PG via natural flavors? Thanks!

Here's what I do personally if I'm going to be doing hard labor: Before hand, take a magnesium supplement and a potassium supplement. Then I make lemonade (sugar free for me, 'cos I'm diabetic) from scratch and add a big pinch of salt to the filtered water/lemon juice/sucralose mix.

Unfortunately, Body Armor has "natural flavors" as ingredient, so likely it has PG
