How much sodium do you actually need?

Most guidance lands on 300 to 600mg of sodium per hour, not the 1,000mg the internet argues about. Work out your session below.

2 hrs
Fluid
950ml
475ml per hour
Sodium
900mg
450mg per hour
UCAN Hydrate
3 scoops
300mg sodium each
Mix 3 scoops across 950ml of water and sip every 10 minutes rather than drinking large volumes at once.

A starting point, not a prescription. Sweat rate and sweat concentration vary a lot between people and change with heat, humidity and altitude. Adjust from here based on how you feel across a few sessions. If you are already using UCAN Edge + Electrolyte gels, each one adds 200mg of sodium, so count those in.

Zero Sugar, Zero Calorie Electrolytes

No sugar. No junk. Just the five electrolytes you lose when you sweat. Built for Australian athletes who take their training seriously.

Summer training in Australia moves a lot of fluid and a lot of salt. UCAN Hydrate replaces what you lose without adding anything you have to plan around. You can take it before a session, during it, or on a rest day, and it changes nothing about your carbohydrate intake.

Why Athletes Choose UCAN Electrolyte Drinks

Electrolytes are minerals you lose through sweat, and in Australian heat and humidity you lose them fast. You lose sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium, in that order of quantity. Sweat rates above two litres an hour are common on a summer long run, and plain water alone does not replace what goes with it.

Most sports drinks do replace those minerals, but they carry 50 to 60 grams of sugar per litre to do it, along with artificial colours you did not ask for. That works if the drink is also your fuel. It stops working the moment you are already taking gels, because now you are stacking carbohydrate you did not plan and cannot easily measure.

UCAN Hydrate separates the two jobs. Fluid and electrolytes come from the bottle. Carbohydrate comes from wherever you decide, whether that is UCAN Edge gels, Energy Powder or real food. Nothing artificial, nothing to count, and it sits easily on the stomach.

How UCAN Hydrate compares

Sodium per serve tells you almost nothing on its own, because serve sizes and bottle sizes differ. Compare per litre of finished drink instead.

Sodium600mg400 to 460mg1000 to 2000mg

Which one you want: if you are already taking gels or a carbohydrate drink on long sessions, you do not need more sugar in your bottle. UCAN Hydrate sits above a standard sports drink on sodium per litre and adds magnesium and calcium that sports drinks leave out, with nothing to count and nothing to time around your fuelling.

My new favorite hydration, goes down easy and I drank it all the way through my ironman without getting the usual “over it” and have to stop drinking.

Electrolytes Plus Aminos for Sessions Over 90 Minutes

For long sessions where muscle fatigue matters as much as fluid loss, UCAN Hydrate + Aminos takes the same five-electrolyte formula and adds essential amino acids. Hydration and amino acids in one serve, still with no sugar.


Available in Orange, in packets for training away from home and in a bag for everyday use. Best suited to anything past the 90 minute mark, which for most people means marathon long runs, century rides and Ironman build weeks.

What You Get in Every Serve

Five Essential Electrolytes

Sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium, in the proportions you lose them through sweat. 300mg of sodium and 150mg of chloride per serve do most of the work, with 100mg of potassium, 50mg of magnesium and 15mg of calcium alongside.

Zero Sugar, Zero Calories

No added sugar and no kilojoules. UCAN Hydrate is sweetened with stevia extract, so there is no sucralose, no acesulfame potassium and no aspartame, and no aftertaste to talk yourself past on the tenth bottle of the week.

Twice the Magnesium

50mg of magnesium per serve, which is roughly double what most electrolyte powders carry and around 16% of the Australian recommended dietary intake. Magnesium is the mineral most often left out of sports drinks entirely.

Flavour Without the Aftertaste

Four flavours: Berry, Watermelon, Pineapple and Lemon Lime. Light rather than sweet, which matters when you are drinking it across a three hour ride rather than sipping it once at a desk.

When to Drink Electrolytes: Before, During and After

UCAN Hydrate is not only a race day product. Australian athletes use it across three moments, and the cleaner the formula, the more often it fits into the day.

  • Before training. Take one serve 60 to 90 minutes before a long run, ride or gym session so you start topped up. This matters most in summer, when you are already down on fluid before you have moved.
  • During long sessions. For anything past 60 minutes, whether that is marathon training, a century ride or an Ironman build, UCAN Hydrate keeps sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium and calcium coming without the sugar load that slows digestion. Pair it with UCAN Edge gels when you want steady energy alongside steady hydration.
  • After training and on rest days. Replacing what you lost speeds up rehydration and helps you feel better the following morning. With no sugar and no kilojoules, it also works as an everyday drink through a hot summer, on a long flight, or any time you want to drink more water without forcing down another plain glass.

Most Australian athletes get about a month of training out of one 30 serve jar. Heavy sweaters and Ironman athletes go through a jar in two to three weeks.

Electrolyte Drinks: Common Questions

300mg of sodium per serve in the jar and 300mg in the single-serve packets. Mixed with 500ml of water as directed, that works out to 600mg of sodium per litre of finished drink. That is higher than a standard sports drink and lower than a salt-forward hydration mix, which is the right place to sit if your carbohydrate is already coming from gels.

Five. Per serve you get 300mg of sodium, 150mg of chloride, 100mg of potassium, 50mg of magnesium and 15mg of calcium. Those are the minerals you lose through sweat, replaced in roughly the proportions you lose them.

Yes. Zero sugar and zero kilojoules per serve. It is sweetened with stevia extract, so there is nothing to count and nothing to work around if you are already taking gels or a carbohydrate drink.

No. UCAN Hydrate is sweetened with stevia extract, specifically Rebaudioside A. There is no sucralose, no acesulfame potassium, no aspartame and no artificial colours. The full ingredient list is sodium citrate, citric acid, magnesium phosphate, natural flavours, potassium citrate, salt, stevia extract and tricalcium phosphate.

UCAN Hydrate is available in Berry, Lemon-Lime, Watermelon and Pineapple. Each flavour comes as a 30-serve jar or 12-pack sachets. Not sure where to start? Try the Variety Pack and taste all 4 before committing to a full jar.

One scoop or one packet into 500ml of water, then shake well. Take one serve every one to two hours before, during or after exercise. On rest days, one serve works as an everyday hydration drink.

Yes, and that is the usual setup for long sessions. Hydrate covers fluid and electrolytes with no carbohydrate at all, so you control your fuelling separately through Edge gels or Energy Powder. Nothing overlaps and nothing has to be recalculated.

A standard sports drink carries 50 to 60 grams of sugar per litre because it is trying to be your fuel and your fluid at once. UCAN Hydrate carries none. It sits above a sports drink on sodium per litre, adds magnesium and calcium that sports drinks leave out, and lets you drink as much as you need without changing your fuelling plan.
