What to expect
Week by week.
What consistent daily use looks like.
Before
Start hydrated
Drink normally through the day before a hard or hot session. Keep a stick in your bag for training.
During
One stick in 16 oz
Mix one stick into 16 fl oz of water and sip it through long or sweaty sessions. Each stick returns 600 mg of sodium.
After
Check what you lost
Weigh yourself before and after training. Each kilogram of body weight lost is roughly a liter of sweat, which tells you how much fluid and salt you need to replace.

Every ingredient we use| Ingredient | Per serving | Why it’s here |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 600 mg | The main electrolyte lost in sweat. Whole-body sweat carries roughly 10 to 70 mmol of sodium per liter, about 230 to 1,610 mg, and the amount varies widely between people. Sodium works with chloride to maintain normal fluid balance.† |
| Chloride | 900 mg | Sodium's partner in salt and the other main mineral in sweat. Works with sodium to maintain normal fluid balance.† |
| Potassium | 300 mg | Lost in sweat in smaller amounts than sodium. Potassium is needed for normal muscle and nerve function.† |
| Magnesium | 100 mg | Magnesium supports normal energy-yielding metabolism.† The adult upper limit for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg a day, so count any other magnesium supplement you take. |
| Vitamin C | 400 mg | An antioxidant nutrient that contributes to normal immune function.† 400 mg is well under the 2,000 mg adult upper limit. The calcium ascorbate also supplies this serving's calcium. |
| Vitamin B12 | 50 mcg | Needed for normal energy-yielding metabolism and red blood cell formation.† No upper limit has been set for B12, and the body absorbs only a small share of a large oral dose. |
| Calcium | 50 mg | Comes with the vitamin C, as calcium ascorbate. |

The research
What the studies found.
How much salt sweat carries
A review of how sweat is measured in athletes found whole-body sweating rates of about 0.5 to 2.0 liters an hour and sweat sodium of roughly 10 to 70 mmol per liter, with large differences between athletes and from day to day. One stick pack provides 600 mg of sodium, about 26 mmol. The author works for the Gatorade Sports Science Institute.†
Which drinks the body holds on to
72 men each drank a liter of water or one of 13 other drinks, and their urine was collected for four hours. An oral rehydration solution, whole milk and skim milk were retained better than water; a sports drink and the other drinks were not. Oral rehydration solutions contain glucose as well as sodium. Hydrate is sugar free and has not been tested this way. The study was funded by the European Hydration Institute.†
Studies of the ingredients, not of the finished product. Results vary from person to person.
Who should skip it or ask a doctor first
- Anyone on a sodium-restricted diet, unless a doctor advises it
- People with kidney disease or on potassium-affecting medication, without medical advice
- Rehydration during illness such as vomiting or diarrhea; that calls for an oral rehydration solution
- Same-day use with other magnesium supplements, such as MAXIS Magnesium Glycinate, unless you count the total against the 350 mg supplement limit
- Drug-tested athletes who need a certified product; this one carries no banned-substance certification
Warnings
For adults. Each stick pack provides 600 mg of sodium (26% of the Daily Value). Not for use on a sodium-restricted diet except on medical advice. If you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease, or take medication that affects potassium, such as ACE inhibitors or potassium-sparing diuretics, consult a healthcare professional before use. Contains 100 mg of magnesium per stick. The adult upper limit for magnesium from supplements is 350 mg a day, so count any other magnesium supplement you take. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. Stop taking it and talk to a healthcare professional if you notice any adverse reaction. Keep out of reach of children.
