Electrolytes
Electrolytes are minerals – sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium – that acquire an electrical charge when dissolved in the body's fluids. This charge is crucial: it controls fluid balance within and between cells, enables nerves to send signals, and allows muscles (including the heart) to contract correctly.
When you sweat, you lose not only water but also electrolytes, especially sodium. During longer or intense sessions, these losses can be so significant that plain water is not enough to restore balance – on the contrary, it can further dilute sodium levels. The result is cramps, headaches, fatigue, and reduced performance.

How much sodium you need depends on how long, how hard, and in what weather you train. Calculate your needs and see how many sachets you should bring with you.

We don't build a product based on what sells best — but based on what the body actually loses when you train. No synthetic dyes, no unnecessary sugar, and no additives you didn't ask for — the few flavors that are colored use natural dyes like beta-carotene and beet red. Just sodium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C in the amounts sweat actually costs you.
Everything is manufactured in Sweden, which gives us close control over the entire production chain — from raw materials to the finished single-serving sachet. This is the same reason we stick to a short, transparent ingredient list instead of filling it with things that serve no function.
The result is a formula built for a single purpose: to help you maintain fluid and salt balance when you push yourself to the max.

How much fluid and sodium do you need?
Calculate an approximate fluid and sodium loss — either by estimating based on your upcoming session, or based on an already measured value after training.
The calculation is a general estimate based on type of training, duration, body weight, intensity, temperature, and weather conditions. Fluid and sodium loss are shown as ranges because sweat rate and sodium concentration in sweat vary greatly between individuals. The recommended intake per hour is intentionally lower than the total loss, for safety reasons — but the number of sachets is always based on the entire estimated sodium loss for the session length, not the more conservative hourly intake, so that the need is not underestimated. Each ELECT portion sachet contains 1,000 mg of sodium. Consider the result as a guideline, not an exact or medical recommendation.
The calculation is based on your measured sweat volume and a selected sodium profile (low/average/high salt content), which is a simplification of the actual sodium concentration in your sweat. The replacement range of 70–100% is a more conservative recovery recommendation, but the number of sachets is always based on the entire measured sodium loss — not just the replacement amount — so that the need is not underestimated. Each ELECT portion sachet contains 1,000 mg of sodium. Consider the result as a guideline, not an exact or medical recommendation. You can find your sweat loss in, for example, Garmin Connect or your Coros profile, or estimate it by weighing yourself before and after training.
Electrolytes with a formula focused on hydration

What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that get an electrical charge when dissolved in the body’s fluids. Some of the body’s most important electrolytes are sodium, potassium, and magnesium.
Electrolytes have different functions in the body. Magnesium contributes, among other things, to electrolyte balance and normal muscle function. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal function of the nervous system.
The body gets electrolytes through food and drink, but at the same time loses both fluids and electrolytes when we sweat.
What are electrolytes good for?
Electrolytes are especially relevant in connection with physical activity, hot weather, and other situations where you sweat a lot.
When you sweat, the body mainly loses fluids and sodium. How much you lose varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as workout duration, intensity, temperature, and individual sweat rate.
An electrolyte powder makes it easy to add fluids along with selected minerals before, during, or after training.
Electrolytes for intense training
Your need for fluids and electrolytes is individual. ELECT is primarily developed for activities where sweat loss can be high, for example:
For shorter and easier workouts, plain water and a varied diet are often enough. ELECT is mainly made for those times when you train hard, for a long time, or sweat a lot.
How much sodium do you lose when you train?
How much sodium you lose through sweat varies greatly from person to person. It is affected by factors such as type of training, intensity, duration of the session, your body weight, and temperature and weather conditions – a hard session in the heat normally results in significantly greater loss than a calmer session in cool weather.
Since sweating rate and sodium concentration in sweat differ between individuals, it's not possible to give an exact figure that applies to everyone. As a starting point, each ELECT single-serving sachet contains 1,000 mg of sodium.
Estimated total sodium loss through sweat during a 2-hour training session, depending on intensity. Individual variation between people is significant.
| Intensity | Sodium loss (2 hours) | Guideline |
|---|---|---|
| Low | ~0.9 grams | Water often sufficient |
| Moderate | ~2.1 grams | Consider sodium supplementation for sessions longer than 2 hours |
| High / warm climate | 3–4+ grams | Sodium supplementation recommended |

What is the difference between oral rehydration solution and electrolytes?
Oral rehydration solution is specifically formulated with salts and sugar in fixed proportions and is typically used for fluid loss associated with, for example, diarrhea or vomiting.
ELECT is an electrolyte powder developed for adult athletes and active individuals who lose fluid and minerals through sweat. Each serving contains sodium, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C. Our products are not intended to treat dehydration due to illness and do not replace traditional oral rehydration solutions.
Can children drink ELECT?
No, we do not recommend our products for children. ELECT is developed for adult athletes and contains 1,000 mg of sodium per single-serving sachet. Children should instead drink oral rehydration solutions specifically formulated and dosed for children. In case of illness, vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of dehydration, medical recommendations should be followed.
How sodium, potassium, and magnesium work in the body
Sodium is the body's most important extracellular electrolyte and is crucial for fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle function. Potassium largely works inside the cells and is important for muscle contraction and a steady heart rhythm. Magnesium is involved in a large number of enzymatic reactions in the body, including energy metabolism and muscle relaxation. Together, these minerals regulate how fluid moves between cells and the bloodstream, which is one reason why water alone is not always enough to restore balance after an intense and sweaty workout.
The risk of only drinking water
During long and intense sessions, it's not always enough to just replenish with water. If you drink more than you lose without simultaneously replenishing sodium, you risk so-called hyponatremia, a condition where the sodium level in the blood becomes too low. Read more in our guide on hyponatremia – what it is and how to avoid it.
Electrolytes, oral rehydration solution, or sports drink – what's the difference?
All three are mixed with water, but they are formulated for different purposes. Oral rehydration solution is primarily developed to treat fluid loss due to illness, sports drinks are mainly developed for energy replenishment with carbohydrates, while an electrolyte powder like ELECT is developed specifically to replace sodium and minerals that healthy, active adults lose through sweat during exercise.
| Product type | Primary purpose | Sodium | Sugar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electrolyte powder (ELECT) | Replace sodium during exercise | High – 1,000 mg per single-serving sachet | Sugar-free |
| Oral rehydration solution (pharmacy) | Fluid loss due to illness | Medically adapted formula | Glucose in fixed proportion |
| Sports drink (common) | Energy replenishment during exercise | Often lower | Often relatively high |

Swedish-made – why it matters
ELECT is manufactured in Sweden, which gives us control over the entire production chain – from raw materials to the finished single-serving sachet. This means shorter transport routes, rigorous quality control according to Swedish food standards, and production that is not dependent on long international supply chains. For you as a consumer, it means a product whose content and manufacturing process can be traced and trusted.
