About electrolyte powder for athletes

The white crust on a black shirt. The headache an hour after a two-a-day. Most of what that sweat took with it was salt.

Every Saltivate serving puts back 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium with zero sugar and no stevia. Scoop it from the jar at home or tear a packet into whatever bottle is in your bag.

Sport by sport: running, cycling, triathlon, CrossFit, HYROX, soccer, and every other sport and use.

800mg per serving

Sodium first

800mg per serving

Sweat is mostly water and salt. One serving of Saltivate puts back 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium. How much you lose in a session depends on your sweat rate and how salty that sweat is. The sodium loss calculator puts an estimate on it. How much of it is salt, and how to tell, is in how much sodium do you lose in sweat.

Zero sugar

Bring your own carbs

Saltivate is zero sugar and 10 calories a serving in the flavors. Set your carbs with gels, chews, or a carb drink; the sodium is already in the bottle. Sweetened with OnoSweet, not from stevia, so there is no bitter aftertaste at the end of a long day of sipping. Raw Unflavored has no sweetener and no citric acid and goes straight into the carb mix you already make. The sticks are in sugar free electrolyte packets.

Jar or packets

The jar for training, the packets for race day

The 45-serving jar (90 for Raw Unflavored) is the lowest price per serving and covers a training block, and buy 3 gets the 4th free. Packets ride in a jersey pocket, a gym bag, or a special needs bag: the 30ct or 45ct box for a season, the 12ct or the Variety Pack to settle on a flavor. Pay for any of them with your HSA/FSA card. Put the jar on an electrolyte subscription for the length of the block. The days after a race are covered in electrolytes for recovery.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best electrolytes for athletes?

Check the sodium per serving first, then the sugar. Saltivate is 800mg sodium, 240mg potassium, and 60mg magnesium per serving with zero sugar. Our comparison page lays the specs side by side.

How much sodium do athletes need per hour?

It depends on your sweat rate and how salty your sweat is. The sodium loss calculator gives an estimate from a few details about your session; a sweat test measures it.

What makes an electrolyte drink mix for athletes different?

Sodium per serving. Saltivate is 800mg, one serving in 16 to 32 oz of water for a hard session, the same serving in a bigger bottle on a lighter day.

Do electrolytes for athletes need sugar?

No. Saltivate is zero sugar, so carbs come from gels, chews, or a carb drink and sodium comes from the powder. For both in one bottle, stir Raw Unflavored into your carb mix.

Can I pay with my HSA or FSA card?

Yes, directly at checkout. No Letter of Medical Necessity and no paperwork.
