Default electrolytes

For one reason and another I don't like to consume any sports drinks with Aspartame in. Does anyone know of any sport drinks that do not contain this sweetner?

Assuming there is no drink readily available then where can I buy the electrolytes in the quantities I need them? My hope is that I can get them in powered form and add them to the drink of my choice such as Purdeys.

Many thanks.
Tom.

Gatorade drink and powder is widely available here in the US at fairly low cost. It contains plain old dextrose, sucrose, citric acid and electrolytes...no Aspartame. Perhaps it isn't sold in the UK.

Also there is a powdered drink by the name of "Electrolyte Stamina" that is high in vitamins and antioxidants. The name of the company is Trace Minerals and the best part no aspartame.
