Sodium in Electrodose: Why We Use a Dual-Source Complex at 1,000mg
Electrodose delivers 1,000mg of sodium per one-scoop serving from a dual source — sodium citrate plus pink Himalayan salt. Sodium is the electrolyte you lose most in sweat, and the one that drives fluid absorption and plasma volume.
Why Citrate Plus Salt
Sodium citrate is gentle on the stomach and acts as a mild buffer against the acid build-up of hard exercise — which is why endurance research often prefers it to plain sodium chloride. Pink Himalayan salt adds sodium along with trace minerals. Together they hit the research-guided hydration range without the harsh, briny taste of straight saline.
One scoop gives you 1,000mg of elemental sodium, as declared on the Supplement Facts panel. Two scoops on hard days takes total sodium to 2,000mg, in line with the exercise-sodium literature linked on our Science page.
Our Dose vs. The Research
Heavy sweaters lose roughly 500–2,000mg of sodium per hour, and 500–1,000mg per hour is the common replacement guidance for athletes. One scoop (1,000mg) covers daily and moderate-training use; two scoops (2,000mg) is the hard-day dose for long sessions, heat, and competition.
For comparison: LMNT also uses 1,000mg; Liquid I.V. uses 500mg; Nuun Sport about 300mg. Sodium needs scale with sweat — match the dose to the day, not the marketing.
Who It's For
Anyone training hard, sweating heavily, in a sauna habit, fasting, or eating low-carb (where the kidneys excrete sodium faster and needs rise). Not for sodium-restricted diets without a doctor's okay — if you have hypertension or kidney disease, ask your physician before high-sodium supplementation.
The Electrodose Difference
Sodium is the foundation, not the whole story. In Electrodose it works alongside 200mg potassium citrate, a 300mg tri-magnesium complex, and a six-part cognitive and performance stack — every dose printed on the label.
Common Questions
Is 1,000mg of sodium too much? For athletes and heavy sweaters, no — it replaces roughly an hour of hard-training losses. On sedentary days one scoop still sits within common replacement guidance, and for sodium-restricted diets, ask your doctor.
Why citrate instead of just salt? Citrate is easier on the stomach and buffers exercise acidosis; the pink salt component keeps a broad mineral profile. The dual source does both jobs.
