What it tastes like
Cold, clean lemon. It reads like lemonade that forgot the sugar: sharp at the front, nothing syrupy sitting behind it.
No salt bite. No aftertaste.

Why five
An electrolyte is a mineral that carries an electrical charge. Your cells run on the difference in that charge across their outer membrane, and every nerve signal, every muscle contraction and every bit of fluid movement depends on holding it. Holding it takes minerals pushing against each other, not one doing all the work. That is the whole argument for five.
✦ The sodium-potassium pump 3 out · 2 in
Sodium Potassium Chloride Calcium Magnesium
The one you lose most in sweat. Sodium regulates fluid balance and plays a role in nerve signalling and muscle contraction. Sourced from Himalayan pink salt.
The second most abundant ion in the body.2 Chloride helps maintain fluid balance and normal ionic balance while your cells are signalling.
The most abundant ion inside your cells. Potassium works against sodium, and that opposition is what holds fluid balance across the membrane.
Calcium contributes to normal neuromuscular conduction and muscle function. It leaves the body through sweat during exercise, which is why it belongs in a hydration stick.
Magnesium contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and is required for over 300 enzymatic reactions,1 including ATP production.

Where we would start you Ready
1 – 2
Sticks a dayThis is a general guide, not medical advice. It is based on how hard you are working and how hot it is, nothing else. Sweat rates vary a lot between people. If you are pregnant or nursing, if you are managing a health condition, or if you have been told to watch your sodium, talk to your doctor before adding electrolytes. Every serving contains 500mg of sodium. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Questions
Like the fruit, not like salt water. Every flavour is built by a working flavourist, and the thing customers mention most is what is missing: no salt bite, no aftertaste. If you are torn between flavours, Lemon Ice is where most people start.
Neither. Zero grams of sugar and no caffeine at all. The sweetness comes from stevia leaf extract, which is how a stick lands at 5 calories. No artificial colours or flavours either.
For most people one a day is the habit and two is a hard day. Each stick carries 500mg of sodium, 22% of the daily value, so it is worth knowing what you are adding rather than guessing. The calculator further up this page will give you a starting point. If you are pregnant or nursing, or you have been told to watch your sodium, talk to your doctor first.
One stick into NEEDS-CONFIRM oz of cold water, then shake. Cold matters more than people expect: the same stick reads sharper and cleaner cold than at room temperature, and it dissolves faster. No blender, no shaker ball needed.
No, and that is deliberate. Silicon dioxide and calcium silicate keep the powder loose inside the stick so it dissolves instead of settling in a lump at the bottom. It is the ingredient nobody bothers to explain, and it is the reason you are not fishing clumps out of your water.
Yes, coconut. Every stick contains real coconut water powder, so it carries Contains tree nuts (coconut) on the label. It is gluten free and non-GMO. The full ingredient list is further up this page, in declaration order, exactly as it appears on the pack.
