An Endurolytes Fizz tablet is equivalent to approximately two Endurolytes capsules, with each tablet scribed across the middle. This allows you to easily break the tablet in half in the event that you want a half-tablet dose, which would be equal to approximately one Endurolytes capsule.

For example, if you want the equivalent of approximately three Endurolytes capsules, simply add 1.5 rapidly dissolving Endurolytes Fizz tablets to your water or fuel bottle(s).

Endurolytes Fizz is economical as well, with 13 effervescent tablets in each tube, not 10-12 like some of our competitors.

Unlike other effervescent electrolyte products, Endurolytes Fizz doesn't contain inconsequential amounts of vitamins or other nutrients, which only serve to increase the price. Instead, you get the full-spectrum electrolytic mineral support that you need, along with adequate amounts of auxiliary nutrients, just like you do with Endurolytes capsules or powder.

Compare Endurolytes Fizz to the competition and you'll see that you're saving a lot of money!

Superior, full-spectrum electrolyte support, no inadequate amounts of insignificant nutrients, great taste, no refined sugars or artificial flavors, and the convenience of rapidly dissolving effervescent tablets, all at a price that NOBODY can match! That’s precisely what you get with Endurolytes Fizz.

The quality and effectiveness that you’ve come to expect from Endurolytes (capsules and powder) in convenient, rapidly dissolving effervescent tablets. With Endurolytes Fizz you have a deliciously refreshing alternative to fulfill your body’s all-important electrolyte requirements.

FIZZ FAQ: 

What are your thoughts on sweat tests?

Q: I recently did a sweat test, with the results showing that I need 1,000 mg or more of sodium per hour during my workouts and races. What are your thoughts?

A: While there may be some interesting information to derive from a sweat test, we at Hammer Nutrition are not a fan of them, mainly because that information is limited and only reflects a small part of the entire picture. Simply put, the results from a sweat test are not representative of what happens during prolonged bouts of exercise.

In a sweat test, the athlete rides a bike or runs on a treadmill in a controlled environment, with their sweat captured to determine fluid and electrolyte loss. That’s all fine, but how long is the test? Maybe an hour? That may be accurate in determining fluid and sweat loss during that first hour or so, but it’s not indicative of what will happen each hour following that initial test hour.

When we begin exercise, we generally lose a lot of fluid and electrolytes, especially salt (sodium chloride), in that first 30-60 minutes. That’s not unusual at all. The problem with going "all in" with sweat test results is that you're basically assuming that these losses are going to occur in the same amounts and volume hour after hour; you're not taking into account the many built-in mechanisms in the human body that regulate fluid and electrolyte use.

It's important to understand that we already begin exercise with massive, double-digit gram amounts of sodium already in our bodies. Once exercise commences, we usually lose a fair amount of fluid and sodium during that first hour or so. However, the human body, the marvelously designed machine that it is, recognizes this and a number of hormonal mechanisms that help monitor and regulate fluid and mineral loss (especially the latter, and particularly sodium) become actively engaged.

Regarding sodium loss, there is a hormone called aldosterone whose primary responsibility (in layman’s terms) is to monitor sodium levels in the body. And when aldosterone senses that sodium losses are becoming too great to maintain normal bodily functioning, it orchestrates a complex process by which sodium is recirculated back into the system via the kidneys. In doing so, aldosterone helps conserve our stores of sodium. Now, this recirculation/conservation process cannot take care of all our requirements hour after hour after hour; we need to supplement with electrolytes to work with aldosterone and help maintain adequate electrolyte status.

The mistake that many athletes commit is that they overdo it with the salt/sodium. They oftentimes look at these sweat tests and notice (for example) that perhaps 1-2 grams of sodium has been lost. NOTE: 1-2 grams of sodium equals 2.5 – 5.0 grams of salt (40% sodium, 60% chloride). That is a TON of salt! Forgetting that the body will not automatically and repeatedly lose this amount hour after hour after hour—and not taking into account aldosterone’s actions to monitor, recirculate, and thus conserve sodium stores—athletes will start consuming 1-2 grams of sodium every hour, which is far too much. Once the body detects an increase in sodium from exogenous sources (food, salt tablets, or products too high in sodium), aldosterone signals the kidneys to stop filtering and recirculating sodium. Instead, the body will excrete even more sodium than before.

When the normal function of aldosterone is “shut down” due to excess sodium intake, another hormone, vasopressin, will predominate and cause unpleasant/uncomfortable and performance-inhibiting fluid retention in the form of swelling (edema) in the extremities. Consequences of excess sodium intake also include elevated blood pressure and, as mentioned earlier, an increased rate of sodium excretion. Elevated blood pressure, excess sodium excretion, and dramatically increased fluid retention not only inhibit performance; they can also be harmful to your health.

If you've ever finished a workout or race with swollen hands, wrists, feet, or ankles, or if you have experienced puffiness under your eyes and around your cheeks, or if your body and clothing is covered in excess amounts of salt stains, your sodium/salt intake was most likely too high.

BOTTOM LINE: When you consume too much sodium/salt—in your diet, prior to exercise (sodium loading), or during exercise—you're actually doing much more harm than good. Too much of anything—water, salt/sodium, calories, etc.—will result in performance-inhibiting issues ranging from as minor as stomach distress to as serious as hyponatremia.

How does Endurolytes Fizz compare to Endurolytes in capsules?

Each Endurolytes Fizz tablet is equivalent to approximately 2 Endurolytes capsules (same as ½tablet of Endurolytes Fizz is equivalent to approximately to 1 Endurolytes capsule). The reason we say “approximately” is because the two formulas are slightly different by necessity. We’ll explain why but first let’s first look at each of the formulas:

Endurolytes: (one capsule)
Sodium (as Sodium Chloride) 40 mg
Chloride (as Sodium Chloride) 60 mg
Calcium (as Chelate) 50 mg
Magnesium (as Chelate) 25 mg
Potassium (as Chelate) 25 mg
Manganese (as Chelate) 1.0mg

Endurolytes Fizz: (one tablet)
Sodium (as Sodium Bicarbonate) 200 mg
Chloride (as Calcium Chloride) 60 mg
Calcium (as Calcium Carbonate and Calcium Chloride) 100 mg
Magnesium (as Magnesium Oxide) 50 mg
Potassium (as Potassium Bicarbonate) 100 mg
Vitamin B-6 (as Pyridoxine HCL) 13 mg
Manganese (as Manganese Gluconate) 3 mg

As you can see, every capsule of Endurolytes contains 100 mg of salt, which is comprised of 40 mg of sodium and 60 mg of chloride. Every tablet of Endurolytes Fizz contains 200 of sodium (in the bicarbonate form) and 60 mg of chloride (in the calcium carbonate and calcium chloride form). When comparing the sodium and chloride components of both, there is more sodium and less chloride in Endurolytes Fizz than there is in Endurolytes capsules. However, the net total of both of those mineral components combined is extremely close. Keeping in mind that ½ of an Endurolytes Fizz tablet is roughly equal to 1 Endurolytes capsule, there's only a 30 mg difference between the two, with one Endurolytes capsule containing a total 100 mg of sodium and chloride combined and one-half of an Endurolytes Fizz tablet containing a total of 130 mg of sodium and chloride combined.

Other differences between Endurolytes Fizz and Endurolytes capsules

1) It was necessary to use bicarbonate forms of sodium and potassium—and more total sodium in Endurolytes Fizz than in Endurolytes capsules—in order to achieve the effervescent properties we wanted.

2) Because we needed to use more sodium bicarbonate in Endurolytes Fizz it required us to use slightly less chloride. That was the only way we could have both sodium and chloride in the product without ending up with a jumbo-sized tablet. That same principle applies to #3.

3) The amounts of actual (elemental) magnesium, calcium, and manganese are the same in both Endurolytes (1 capsule) and Endurolytes Fizz (one-half tablet). However, to achieve the total amount of elemental mineral volume that we wanted in Endurolytes Fizz—so that both products would have the same quantities of these three minerals)—it required us to use different forms, ones that contained more elemental amounts of those minerals in the compound.

Magnesium oxide contains more elemental magnesium than does an amino acid chelate, calcium carbonate contains more elemental calcium than does an amino acid chelate, and manganese gluconate contains more elemental manganese than does an amino acid chelate. Basically, if we were to use an amino acid chelate in Endurolytes Fizz the tablet would be gigantic.

4) Another reason we chose magnesium in the oxide form, calcium in the carbonate form and chloride form, and manganese in the gluconate form is because these chelating agents do not inhibit the effervescent reaction process and in some cases aid in the process. Conversely, an amino acid chelate, as is used in Endurolytes capsules, while extremely bioavailable, would severely inhibit and perhaps even halt the process. We want an Endurolytes Fizz tablet to dissolve as quickly as possible in solution, which is the primary reason why these particular forms of minerals were chosen.

5) The amounts of potassium are higher in one-half tablet of Endurolytes Fizz (50 mg) than in one Endurolytes capsule (25 mg). This is because, as mentioned in #1, we needed more bicarbonates in order to achieve the effervescent properties we wanted while also helping to maintain a fairly close sodium-to-potassium ratio (62.5% in Endurolytes capsules; 50% in Endurolytes Fizz).

As discussed earlier, while there may be a small amount of useful information that a sweat test can provide, the results do not reflect how the body responds during long-duration exercise. Relying on the results of a sweat test—meaning trying to replace in equal amounts what the sweat test says you’re are losing mineral-wise—will result in negative, performance-inhibiting-to-ruining outcomes.

Can Endurolytes Fizz affect my blood sugar?

Very unlikely. Stevia and monk fruit are natural sweeteners used in very small amounts in Endurolytes Fizz, and neither affect blood sugar levels There is also a fractional amount of sorbitol in Endurolytes Fizz and its effects on blood sugar is extremely minimal. In fact, sorbitol may be useful as an alternative to sugar for people with diabetes as it significantly reduces the rise in blood glucose and the insulin response associated with the ingestion of glucose.

HOW TO USE:

Use prior to, during, and after workouts to satisfy the body’s electrolyte requirements with maximum precision.

Use as needed, but primarily when:

1. Exercise lasts for more than two hours, regardless of temperature or humidity.
2. Exercise lasts less than two hours and:

• Temperature is above 80 degrees and/or 70% humidity or
• Temperature and humidity is ten degrees or more above what you are accustomed to.

Mixing Instructions

Starting at an hourly dose of 1/2 tablet per 22-30 kg's of body weight, add Endurolytes Fizz tablets to your water or fuel bottle(s), allow to dissolve completely, and consume as needed to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte levels. Note: Each rapidly dissolving effervescent tablet contains the equivalent dosage of approximately two Endurolytes capsules.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Many variables - body weight, fitness level, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and physiological predisposition - affect individual electrolyte requirements, so you must do your own trials with Endurolytes Fizz dosing, under a variety of conditions, to determine what your individual needs are.
• Endurolytes Fizz DOES NOT prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from overexertion in the heat.
• At 10 calories per tablet, Endurolytes Fizz is not a significant source of calories.
• The amount of salt (sodium chloride) you habitually consume in your daily diet largely determines the amount of salt, you will need to consume during exercise and races. If you consume a high-salt diet, you will need to increase your hourly dose of Endurolytes Fizz above our starting point recommendation.

WHAT IS CRAMPING:

Cramping is your body's final warning signal that you're on empty electrolyte-wise. However, your performance is deteriorating and you are slowing down long before you feel the slightest twinge of a cramp.

To keep your muscular, digestive, nervous, and cardiac systems firing on all cylinders, you need a consistent supply of all of the electrolytic minerals, not just sodium and potassium. Plus, in many instances, you require greater volumes of electrolytes than any sports drink or gel can provide.

That is why Endurolytes Fizz fulfills such a crucial component of your fueling by supplying your body with a balanced, full-spectrum, rapidly assimilated electrolyte source, allowing you to meet your widely variable electrolyte needs with tremendous precision, hour after hour, no matter what the weather throws at you.
