There are two options available to determine the sodium losses in your sweat:
Based on our data collected from hundreds of sweat tests we have conducted, we can estimate the sodium concentration in your sweat by having you fill out a short form here: Free Hydration Plan. We always recommend proceeding with an estimation before you decide to purchase our HydroDrink.
A more accurate answer to the question “Which IONTMAX HydroDrink do I need?” can be provided by measuring your sweat using a device equipped with an ion-selective electrode for Na+ measurement.
We will conduct the measurement and determine the sodium concentration in your sweat, the sodium losses. Based on test results, we will recommend the appropriate HydroDrink that corresponds to your sodium loss through sweat. You can check the availability of this service in your country within our list of Partners.
Order a measurement and we’ll call you to arrange the best time and place for you. Whether you run outdoors or on a treadmill, or cycle at the gym, we’ll come to you. Collecting sweat samples is quick and easy, taking only 10 to 20 minutes*. You’ll need to sweat a little!
Results will be available immediately after the measurement. During the consultation, we’ll advise you on proper hydration. Based on the amount of sodium in your sweat, we’ll recommend the right HydroDrink to best suit your needs and cover your sodium losses through sweat.
The composition of sweat does not change much over a lifetime, so you only need to do the measurement once. So, don’t hesitate and try it with us. Find out which HydroDrink is right for you, proper hydration is key to delivering the best performances.
*Total time reserved for measurement and consultation is up to 90 minutes.
During the measurement, we’ll find answers to two key questions related to proper and precise hydration:
The amount of sweat lost per hour, known as sweat-rate. We’ll help you answer this question during the consultation after the measurement. You’ll receive precise instructions on how to determine your sweat-rate, so you’ll know how much and when to drink.
This question concerns the composition of your sweat. We’ll find out how much sodium you’re losing, and we’ll also look at the losses of other electrolytes. We’ll then explain everything to you in detail, so you understand how it all works.
Sodium plays a crucial role in hydrating your body, keeping bodily fluids where they’re needed. More about sodium and why it’s so important can be found here. Interestingly, everyone loses sodium at different rates – some might have only 200 mg of sodium per liter of sweat, while others might lose 1500 mg/l or more. On the other hand, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, although also important, are lost in sweat in much smaller quantities.
Proper and precise hydration will enable you to achieve your best performance and also help speed up your recovery.
