HYDRATION STICKS · 500MG SODIUM · NO ADDED SUGAR
Finally, an electrolyte that isn't sea water or a soft drink.
★★★★★ 5.0 from 27 verified reviews · 77 across the range
Every brand picked a side. Salty as sea water, or basically cordial. We got it right: 500mg of real sodium, with monk fruit doing the heavy lifting instead of sugar, stevia or sucralose. A taste you'll actually want every day.
- Na 500 / K 200 / Mg 70mg. A real dose, not a pinch
- Only 3 calories, no added sugar, sweetened with monk fruit
- New Mango Passion flavour. No syrup, no aftertaste, no palate fatigue.

02 · THE PROBLEM
You drink water all day. Still cramping, still crashing.
Sound familiar? Water replaces fluid, not sodium. So the cramps come anyway, the afternoon slump hits, and the aisle's two fixes both fail you: one is too salty to drink, the other is a soft drink in disguise.
- Cramps that wreck the back half of a session, a shift, a race
- The afternoon crash, even when you've been drinking water all day
- Feeling trash after long weekend sessions, no matter how much you drink
03 · WHY IT WORKS
Read the labels. We did.
A heavy hour can cost you up to roughly 1,000mg of sodium. But the answer isn't the biggest number on a label. A dose only works if you'll actually drink it, every session, and your gut accepts it. Read the columns: dose, taste, gut. That's the whole argument.
| What matters | PULSE. | The super-salty brands | Sports drinks and pharmacy sachets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium per serve | ✓ 500mg, from Himalayan pink salt | ✗ About 1,000mg. Dosed, but barely drinkable | ✗ 80 to 120mg, underdosed or buried in sugar |
| Added sugar | ✓ None. 0.1g naturally occurring | ✗ None | ✗ Often the main ingredient |
| Sweetener and taste | ✓ Monk fruit. No aftertaste. 78% say 'just right' | ✗ Stevia, mostly. Hello aftertaste | ✗ Sugar, stevia or sucralose. Same aftertaste, plus the crash |
| Built for | ✓ Training, racing, hot days, every day | ✗ People who can handle a salt shot | ✗ The school canteen, or sick days |
| Cost per real dose | ✓ $2.28 a stick at 500mg sodium | ✗ Similar price. If you can drink it | ✗ About $4 a bottle. You'd need four |
NUTRITIONAL INFO
What transparency actually looks like.
Every electrolyte dosed and declared. Nothing hidden, nothing rounded, nothing buried in a blend. Tap the stick.
04 · BUT WILL IT…
The honest answers.
"Won't 500mg sodium taste salty?"
No. That's the monk fruit doing its job. The super-salty brands skipped the balancing act. We didn't. 78% of surveyed customers say the sweetness is just right, and not one said too sweet.
"Is it sugar-free?"
No added sugar. 0.1g naturally occurring, 3 calories, sweetened with monk fruit. We won't call that sugar-free, because the label matters more than the marketing. That's the whole point of this brand. The full nutrition panel is right on this page.
"Is it worth $68.50?"
It's $2.28 a stick, dosed at 500mg sodium. A supermarket sports drink costs about $4 and gives you 80 to 120mg. You'd need four of them to match one stick. Cheap hydration is the expensive option.
"Do I need this if I'm not training for a marathon?"
If you sweat, you're losing sodium. Gym sessions, big days on the tools, hot Aussie summers, wedding-prep training blocks. One stick replaces what water alone can't.

WHO'S BEHIND PULSE
I collapsed 200m from the finish line.
Cairns, 2023. Heat stroke, dehydration, hospital. The products I'd trusted were underdosed and wrecked my gut. So I built what I couldn't find: properly dosed, clean, fully transparent. Since then: 2:49 at the Gold Coast Marathon and a 4:33 Ironman 70.3. These sticks are in my bottle most weekends, and I live and train in far north Queensland, in humidity that punishes you for guessing your hydration. Alex Forbes, founder.
