The Science Behind Balanced Electrolytes – Our Story & The Facts

Hydration science meets Swedish craftsmanship

Electrolytes are tiny minerals that carry electrical charges and keep your body’s fluids, nerves and muscles working properly. When you sweat, you lose water and electrolytes; failing to replace them can impair performance and lead to cramps (Source). That’s why endurance athletes are advised to consume 0.5–1 g of sodium per liter of fluid (Source) and 300–600 mg per hour during prolonged exercise (Source).

After years of training, we realised that no existing product offered the clean, balanced electrolyte replacement we wanted. Sugary drinks dominated the market, and “natural” options often under‑delivered on sodium or overloaded on flavorings. So we took matters into our own hands.

How we built our formula

Working with sports nutrition experts and referencing peer‑reviewed studies, we created a ratio that mirrors the body’s needs:

These amounts fall squarely within the research‑supported ranges for endurance hydration(Source). The sodium content aligns with ACSM guidance, while the potassium and magnesium levels reflect their respective roles in muscle and nerve function(Source).

We intentionally left out sugar, artificial colors and fillers. Instead, we use natural strawberry–lime flavors to provide a crisp, refreshing taste. Because sodium stimulates thirst and helps the intestines absorb fluid(Source), our stickpack encourages you to drink enough water without overwhelming your palate.

Backed by research

• Why sodium matters: Studies in sports physiology show that athletes need higher sodium intakes than sedentary individuals. Drinking fluids with at least 100 mg of sodium per 8 oz encourages continued drinking and supports fluid retention(Source). Insufficient sodium intake increases the risk of hyponatremia during endurance events(Source).

• The role of potassium: Potassium maintains intracellular fluid levels and assists nerve and muscle function(Source). Imbalances can lead to weakness or arrhythmias.

• Magnesium’s impact: Magnesium helps convert nutrients into energy and transports sodium and potassium across cell membranes(Source). It also helps balance blood sugar and pressure.

Our formula embraces these findings: the sodium dose helps maintain hydration, the potassium dose supports muscle and nerve activity, and the magnesium dose aids energy production and electrolyte balance.

Sustainable and local

We produce and package every stickpack in Sweden. This isn’t just about national pride — local production reduces transportation distances and, therefore, carbon emissions. By sourcing close to home, we ensure responsible manufacturing practices and maintain strict control over quality. Sweden’s commitment to renewable energy (around 60 % of national supply)further reduces the environmental footprint of our operations.
