Electrolyte capsules for the harshest conditions—heat, heavy sweat, and higher mineral needs.
When the weather turns savage (or your sweat rate does), your electrolyte needs can jump fast. Endurolytes Extreme is built for those moments, with 3x more sodium + potassium than original Endurolytes, while keeping a balanced 4:1 sodium-to-potassium ratio.
What makes it “Extreme”
Per capsule:
- 300 mg sodium chloride (salt)
- 75 mg potassium
- 3x sodium + potassium vs. original Endurolytes
- Balanced 4:1 ratio
Best used when…
Endurolytes Extreme is ideal if you’re dealing with:
- Unusually hot or humid events
- Not being acclimated to the conditions
- High sweat rates (salty sweaters / frequent crampers)
- Early-season training (lower fitness often = higher mineral losses)
- A high-sodium diet or recent “sodium loading” (not recommended, but it happens)
If one (or more) of those is you: this is the product you want in your pocket.
KEY BENEFITS:
- Helps prevent cramping in harsh conditions
- Full-spectrum electrolyte profile (not just salt)
- Higher strength formula (fewer capsules vs. original Endurolytes in extreme conditions)
- Includes ginger root to support digestion
How to take it
Dosage: 1–2 capsules per hour (adjust to conditions, intensity, and sweat rate)
Important: Swallow capsules whole. Do not open them.
The ginger root is soothing for the stomach, but some natural compounds can cause a burning sensation if the powder contacts the mouth/throat.
WHATS THE COMPOSITION BREAKDOWN:
A full-spectrum mineral blend:
-
Sodium + Chloride (from salt)
Salt is 40% sodium / 60% chloride - Calcium (chelated) for absorbability
- Magnesium (chelated) for absorbability
- Potassium (citrate form) for high elemental potassium + excellent absorption
- Manganese supports muscle enzyme reactions and energy metabolism
- Ginger root natural digestive support
Dietary considerations
- Diabetic friendly
- Gluten free
- Vegan friendly
- Kosher certified
The best way to carry capsules while training/racing
Pick one of these (all are solid):
- Flip-top capsule dispenser (holds ~20; jersey-pocket friendly)
- Quick Coin dispenser (soft coin-purse style)
- Reclosable baggies (simple and effective)
Don’t do this (seriously)
Do NOT carry loose capsules in pockets where sweat/moisture can reach them.
The veggie capsules can melt, and ginger powder can irritate skin if it gets wet and contacts you.
Q&A:
“Should I do a sweat test and replace exactly what I lose?”
Hammer’s take: not a fan of relying on sweat tests for hourly sodium targets.
Why? Most tests are short and don’t reflect what happens over long duration. Early in exercise, losses can be higher, then the body’s regulatory systems (like aldosterone) kick in to conserve sodium.
Over-replacing sodium hour after hour can backfire, leading to:
- Excess fluid retention (swelling/edema)
- Elevated blood pressure
- Worsened sodium excretion
- Performance-killing discomfort
Bottom line: Don’t treat sweat test numbers like gospel. Too much salt, too much water, too many calories—any of those can cause real problems.
“Which Endurolytes products contain the least citric acid?”
- Endurolytes Extreme (capsules) contains potassium citrate (citrate form)
-
Endurolytes Fizz uses minimal citric acid to create effervescence
Other Endurolytes products don’t use citric acid in the same way.
What’s the difference between Endurolytes and Endurolytes Extreme?
Endurolytes (original):
- Balanced electrolyte support for low-to-moderate sodium diets
- Great for typical conditions and most athletes
Endurolytes Extreme:
- 3x more sodium + potassium
- Best for heat, humidity, high sweat rates, cramp-prone athletes, early season, or when you need more electrolytes with fewer capsules
