Electrolyte Drink Mix - Isotonic Formula for Optimal Hydration

Available in Convenient Stand-Up Pouches | 40 Servings Per Pouch

Experience superior hydration with Vitalyte's electrolyte drink mix collection - the isotonic formula that matches your body's natural balance for rapid absorption without stomach discomfort. Founded over 40 years ago by biochemist and marathon runner Bill Gookin, Vitalyte was created to provide balanced, effective hydration without the excessive sugar or extreme sodium found in other sports drinks.

Our isotonic formula delivers the same electrolyte concentration as an IV solution for faster absorption and more effective hydration during activity, exercise, and daily life. Each serving provides improved hydration, enhanced performance, and faster recovery with clean, natural ingredients your body recognizes. Available in convenient stand-up pouches with 40 servings each.

What's Inside Every Serving

  • Glucose & Fructose – natural sugars that activate rapid absorption
  • Sodium Chloride – primary electrolyte lost in sweat, regulates fluid outside cells
  • Potassium Chloride – works with sodium to regulate fluid inside cells
  • Magnesium Citrate – prevents muscle cramps and supports energy metabolism
  • Calcium Citrate – essential for muscle contractions and nerve function
  • Vitamin C – immune support and antioxidant benefits
  • Sodium Bicarbonate & Dipotassium Phosphate – pH buffers for optimal absorption

Why Vitalyte Electrolyte Drink Mix Works

Vitalyte's electrolyte drink mix is isotonic, meaning it matches your body's natural concentration for rapid absorption in as little as 2 minutes. Unlike high-sugar sports drinks or high-sodium competitors, our balanced formula (135mg sodium per serving) is safe for daily use while still activating the Sodium-Glucose Transport System - the same mechanism used in medical rehydration solutions worldwide.

When sodium and glucose bind together in your small intestine, specialized transport proteins create "gates" that allow rapid absorption, with water naturally following. This science-backed approach helps prolong exercise time, relieve thirst, and prevent muscle cramps without the stomach upset caused by hypertonic formulas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need more info? You can find it here.
Is electrolyte drink mix good for you?
Yes, properly formulated electrolyte drink mix like Vitalyte supports healthy hydration by replacing minerals lost through sweat and daily activity. Our balanced formula contains 135mg of sodium per serving (6% DV) - sufficient to activate rapid absorption without the excessive levels found in some competitors. For active individuals or those in hot climates, quality electrolyte drink mix provides real benefits over plain water.
Do electrolytes hydrate you faster than water?
Yes, properly formulated electrolyte drink mix hydrates faster than water alone. The sodium and glucose combination in Vitalyte activates the Sodium-Glucose Transport System, allowing water to be absorbed up to 3x faster than plain water. However, this only works with isotonic formulas - hypertonic drinks with excessive sugar or sodium actually slow hydration.
How do I know if I need electrolytes?
Common signs include muscle cramps, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and excessive thirst despite drinking water. If you exercise regularly, sweat heavily, or live in hot climates, you likely benefit from electrolyte supplementation.
Why does Vitalyte contain glucose when other brands are sugar-free?
The glucose in Vitalyte (along with sodium) is essential for activating the Sodium-Glucose Transport System that enables rapid absorption. Zero-sugar alternatives using stevia or monk fruit cannot activate this physiological mechanism, making them less effective for fast hydration when you need it most.
Which electrolyte drink is the healthiest?
The healthiest electrolyte drink balances effective hydration science, appropriate sodium levels for daily use, and clean ingredients. Look for isotonic formulas with moderate sodium (not extreme concentrations), and avoid excessive artificial ingredients. Vitalyte provides optimal ratios with clean, natural ingredients and no artificial additives.
