Electrolytes — South Africa
Sodium, potassium and magnesium blends — for SA summers, training, fasting and recovery. Sugar-free and real-dose options. Consultant-curated. Free delivery over R400.
For SA summers, training, fasting and rehydration. Our consultants would point most people at an electrolyte mix with real sodium (~500–700mg per serve) — the dose most weekend warriors are scared of but actually need.
Skip the sugar-loaded sports drinks. For most people, a sugar-free electrolyte sachet in 500ml water is the cleanest fuel.
Common questions
How much sodium do I need?
For most people in hot conditions or training: 500–700mg sodium per hour of activity. Heavy sweaters: up to 1500mg/hr. The fear of sodium is largely misplaced for healthy adults — cramps and fatigue usually mean too little, not too much.
Can I use electrolytes daily?
Yes — especially in summer or if you train. A 0-sugar electrolyte sachet in your water bottle is one of the simplest performance levers we know.
What about magnesium for cramps?
Cramps usually need sodium first, then potassium, then magnesium. A complete electrolyte product covers all three. If cramps persist, add a daily magnesium glycinate evening dose.
On a BP medication?
Don't load sodium without checking with your GP — some BP meds become risky with high sodium intake. WhatsApp us and we'll suggest lower-sodium alternatives.

From the counter
Salt, science and summer
Electrolytes stopped being just for marathoners — highveld heat, training sessions, long flu recoveries and low-carb eating all drain the same minerals. This shelf carries clean formulations: sodium, potassium and magnesium in ratios that follow sweat rather than sugar, from fizzing tablets to powders that vanish into a water bottle.
Choosing without the neon
Read the sugar line first — half the sports-drink aisle is cooldrink in gym clothes. Then match strength to sweat: a desk day needs less than a long run in February. Electrolytes contribute to normal muscle function and hydration when you're actually losing them; for everyday sitting-still life, water and food do the job. Cramping regularly? Tell a consultant what your week looks like on WhatsApp — free — and we'll suggest the honest option, delivered free over R400.
