Best Electrolyte powders by Sodium
Electrolyte powders ranked by sodium per serving, the format where you can also dial the concentration to the day.
Powders average about 345 mg of sodium per serving in our catalogue and reach past 1,000 mg in the high-sodium endurance options, which puts them in the same territory as tabs. Sodium is not what separates the two formats. What you need is personal: sweat sodium spans roughly 300 to 1,500 mg per litre, so hourly loss is your sweat rate times your own concentration, and 50 to 100 percent replacement is the working target.
What a powder adds is flexibility. You can scoop more or less to tune concentration for a hot day or a heavy sweater, which a fixed-dose tab cannot do. The cost is a scoop, a bulkier container, and more room for error in the dark at an aid station. Watch the carbohydrate column too: most powders carry fuel as well as salt.

The top 10
Read sodium per serving against your hourly loss, then read the carbs column so the salt does not smuggle in fuel.
