- Matt Jansen, Co-owner of RAW Nutrition and Professional Coach
Electrolytes, in particular sodium, are critical for elite endurance athletes. Sodium has a profound impact on performance and physiological efficiency and function. Replenish is designed to support:
FORMULATED WITH PRECISION
On average, athletes lose 1000 mg of sodium per liter (32 oz) of sweat during exercise. Therefore, Replenish is formulated with 1000 mg of sodium to replace the average levels necessary to maintain optimal body and brain function.
How to Incorporate Replenish Into Your Training Routine
The intensity of your training and how much you sweat will play a crucial role in figuring out how much Replenish you will need to take in for training.
- For higher intensity training and high sweat rate sessions: Drink 1-2 Servings of Replenish with 20-30oz of water during training.
- For lower intensity training and less of a sweat rate sessions: Drink 1 Serving of Replenish with 20-30oz of water during training.
- Rehydration AFTER training: Drink 1 Serving of Replenish with 20oz Water
Electrolytes play a key role
in various physiological processes in the body.
Cellular Function: Electrolytes are vital for nerve function, muscle contraction and heart function.Fluid Balance: Electrolytes help regulate fluids within the body, ensuring cells (and every part of the body) are hydrated.
Nerve and Muscle Function: Electrolytes are essential for the functioning of nerves and muscles.
Hydration: Proper electrolyte levels are necessary for effective hydration. Electrolytes help retain water in the body, and their imbalance can lead to dehydration or overhydration, both of which can be harmful.
Enzyme Activity: Biochemical reactions in the body, including the production of energy, depend on enzymes, which require electrolytes to help them function.
Cardiac Function: Electrolytes influence blood volume and pressure and overall heart function.
Transport of Nutrients and Waste: Electrolytes assist in the transport of nutrients into cells and the removal of waste out of cells to maintain cellular health.
OVERNIGHT DEHYDRATION
During sleep the body naturally loses fluids through breathing and perspiration, leading to dehydration by morning.
Replenishing electrolytes in the morning is important for physical and cognitive performance during the day, while combating fatigue and further dehydration setting the foundation for a day of enhanced focus and energy.
Chocolate Replenish powder is a delicious way to add electrolytes to your mourning routine. Add to your coffee, smoothie, or mix directly in water or milk.
WATER ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH
Hydration goes beyond simply drinking water. In fact, consuming too much water without replenishing essential electrolytes—like sodium, magnesium, and potassium—can actually be harmful. Electrolytes are crucial for maintaining proper hydration, as they help regulate fluid balance in the body.
Drinking excessive amounts of water without these minerals can lower your sodium levels, which is why it's important to balance water intake with electrolyte replenishment.
While water is usually sufficient for day-to-day hydration, there are times when your body needs more. During high-intensity workouts or activities in hot environments, you lose both water and essential minerals through sweat, which water alone cannot replace.
When to Reach for Electrolyte Drinks:
- Intense Exercise: Activities like running or cycling can quickly drain your body’s electrolyte levels.
- Hot Climates: In warm or humid environments, you sweat more, making electrolyte replenishment crucial.
- Long Workouts: Any activity lasting over an hour may require more than water to maintain proper hydration.
Endurance Replenish provides a carefully balanced mix of electrolytes designed for effective hydration and great taste.
- Sodium Citrate: An alkaline form of sodium that offers better absorption, a less salty taste, and improved stomach comfort.
- Sea Salt: A natural source of sodium, rich in trace minerals..
- Chloride: Works with sodium to maintain fluid balance and blood volume.
Replenish allows you to replace your sodium needs while keeping your gut and taste buds happy.

What's inside?
How do sodium electrolyte products differ from regular sports drinks?
Sodium electrolyte products are specifically formulated to provide a higher concentration of electrolytes compared to regular sports drinks, which may contain more sugars and fewer electrolytes.
How do sodium electrolyte products work?
These products contain electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride, which help restore the balance of fluids in the body, support nerve and muscle function, and regulate blood pressure.
How should I use sodium electrolyte products during my training?
For high-intensity or long workouts:
Mix 1-2 servings with 20-30oz of water.
For low-intensity or short workouts:
Use 1 serving with 20-30oz of water.
Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Why the added Cane Sugar?
Sugar plays a crucial role in the absorption of electrolytes, which is essential for maintaining hydration, especially during physical activities. When sugar is present, it stimulates the transport of sodium and water across the small intestine and kidneys. This interaction accelerates the absorption of both sugar and electrolytes into the bloodstream.
Glucose and electrolytes work synergistically. The combination of salt and sugar promotes the hydration of cells by encouraging them to take up more water.
Cane sugar is beneficial due to its minimal processing, while also providing a natural source of sugar and enhancing the flavor without using artificial sweeteners.
Can I use sodium electrolyte products outside of training?
Yes, you can use sodium electrolyte products outside of training, and they can be super helpful in everyday situations. Here are a few times when they come in handy:
- Hot weather: On those sweltering days when you're sweating just walking to your car, you lose a lot of water and electrolytes. Sodium electrolytes help you stay hydrated and avoid feeling drained.
- After being sick: If you've had a rough bout of vomiting or diarrhea, your body loses a ton of electrolytes. Replenishing them with electrolytes can help you bounce back faster and feel better.
- Traveling: Long flights or road trips can dry you out, especially in stuffy airplane cabins. Electrolyte drinks can keep you hydrated without having to guzzle a bunch of water all at once.
- After a night out: If you’ve had a few too many drinks, alcohol dehydrates your body. Sodium electrolytes can help you rehydrate and recover, possibly making that hangover a little less brutal.
- Busy, stressful days: When you're running around all day and forget to drink enough water, drinking electrolytes can help you catch up and feel more balanced.
- Before or after a sauna: Sweating it out in a sauna can leave you dehydrated, so a little electrolyte boost before or after helps keep you feeling good.
- Low-carb or fasting: If you're on a keto diet or doing intermittent fasting, you might notice you get dehydrated more easily. Sodium electrolytes can help keep you hydrated and prevent those annoying headaches or sluggishness.
Basically, anytime you're sweating a lot or not getting enough water, an electrolyte drink can be a quick fix to help you feel more balanced and hydrated.
