What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge when dissolved in fluid. Common electrolyte formula ingredients include sodium, potassium and magnesium.

The quantity and ratio vary considerably between products, so customers should compare the full label rather than assuming every electrolyte powder is the same.

Electrolyte powder vs ready-to-drink electrolytes

Electrolyte+ powder and Electrolyte+ RTD are designed around convenience in different situations.

Powder:

  • Mixed with your chosen amount of water
  • Multiple flavour choices
  • 30 servings per tub
  • Suitable for home, gym or travel

Ready to drink (RTD)

  • Already supplied in a 500ml bottle
  • Convenient when mixing is impractical
  • One bottle per serving
  • Suited to grab-and-go use

Choose powder when value per serving and flavour choice are more important.

Choose RTD when convenience is the primary requirement.

Electrolyte+ vs Intra Carb+

Electrolyte+ is the hydration focused choice.

Intra Carb+ is the carbohydrate focused choice.

Each Intra Carb+ serving provides:

  • 25g Cluster Dextrin
  • 2.5g HydroPrime
  • 2.5g D-Ribose
  • 500mg dipotassium phosphate

It is better suited to sessions where planned carbohydrate intake is required than to general everyday hydration.

Electrolyte+ vs Intra EAA+

Intra EAA+ is centred on essential amino acids rather than being a straight forward electrolyte product.

Each serving supplies 14.4g EAAs, including 12g BCAAs, plus citrulline malate, taurine, sodium chloride, potassium citrate and AstraGin.

Choose:

  • Electrolyte+ for an electrolyte-focused routine
  • Intra EAA+ for amino-acid-focused peri-workout use
  • Intra Carb+ for carbohydrate-focused training nutrition

Do all training sessions require an electrolyte product?

No.

The appropriate approach depends on:

  • session length and intensity
  • environmental temperature
  • individual sweat rate
  • fluid and food intake
  • the wider training schedule

A short, low demand session may not require the same routine as a prolonged session in warm conditions.

Can products be combined?

They may be combined where the wider nutrition strategy calls for amino acids, carbohydrates and electrolytes. However, customers should check for overlapping minerals and follow the directions for every product.

The Ultimate Intra Workout Stack already combines the three principal formulas and should be positioned for experienced customers rather than as the default purchase for everyone.

It is for use around training as well as on waking, during travel, in warmer conditions or at other times when a hydration focused formula fits the routine.

What is the difference between Electrolyte+ and Intra
Carb+?

Electrolyte+ is built around electrolyte ingredients. Intra Carb+ is primarily a carbohydrate formula providing 25g Cluster Dextrin per serving.

EAA+?

Electrolyte+ is the more direct hydration product. Intra EAA+ provides 14.4g essential amino acids alongside its additional peri-workout ingredients.

Can I combine Electrolyte+, Intra Carb+ and Intra EAA+?

The products can be combined, and they are sold together in the Ultimate Intra Workout Stack. This does not mean the complete stack is necessary for every training session.

Why can electrolyte powder clump?

Some of the ingredients attract moisture from the air. Natural clumping does not automatically indicate a defective product. Keep the container closed and store it according to the label.

Why can the colour change?

D-Ribose can contribute to gradual colour variation. This does not affect the stated formulation.

Are the hydration formulas vegan?

Electrolyte+, Intra Carb+ and Intra EAA+ are currently listed as suitable for vegans and vegetarians and as Halal certified.
