The Science, Simply
Water rehydrates. Electrolytes actually replace what you lose.
The Problem
Sweat isn't just water.
When you sweat heavily, whether it's a summit push, a long run, or a hot afternoon on the water, you lose sodium, potassium, and magnesium along with the fluid. Replacing only the water dilutes what's left of those minerals even further, which is part of why plain water alone can leave you feeling worse on a long, hot effort.
The Result
Cramping, fatigue, and worse.
Low sodium and magnesium are strongly linked to muscle cramping and early fatigue during endurance efforts. In more severe cases, an electrolyte imbalance from heavy sweat loss can progress toward serious dehydration. Replacing electrolytes, not just fluid, is the more complete fix.
How Pure Current Helps
Formulated around what you actually lose
1,080mg per stick
Dosed toward the higher end of typical sweat loss, since most everyday electrolyte drinks under-dose sodium relative to a real day out on the trail.
208mg per stick
Supports the sodium-potassium balance your muscles and nervous system rely on.
98mg per stick
Often the most overlooked mineral in sports hydration, included here at a meaningful dose.
