Also known as Sodium · potassium · magnesiumSweat has consequences. This is the fine print.
The least glamorous product in the Formulary, and probably the one you'll reach for most. Plain water isn't always enough — sweat hard, dance all night, travel, or wake up parched and you're losing sodium and potassium too, and replacing only the water can leave you flat. Electrolytes are the unsexy fix that makes everything else work better.
The minerals you lose in sweat — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium.
Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium are the minerals that let your cells hold water and your muscles and nerves fire cleanly. Sweat carries them out; replacing them lets your body actually retain the fluid you drink instead of running it straight through.
Support normal hydration and fluid balance around training, heat, travel and long nights.
Anyone training hard or in heat, anyone who sweats through a shirt, frequent flyers, and — plainly — the morning after a long night. Genuinely broad.
One serving in water around heavy sweating, travel, or first thing on a rough morning. Caffeine-free, so time it whenever you need it, bedtime included.
You notice it most when you've been missing it — steadier energy through a hot session, fewer cramps, a less shattered morning after. Same-day, felt, unglamorous.
Grade A for the basics: electrolyte replacement supports hydration and rehydration, especially around exercise and heavy sweating. Well established and uncontroversial.
Evidence grades describe how well an ingredient is studied — A well-supported, C emerging — not a promise of results. Educational, not medical advice. Doses are typical ranges; follow the label on the product.
