Full-spectrum electrolyte replacement addresses a limitation of salt-only supplements: your body needs more than sodium and chloride to maintain proper function during prolonged efforts. Hammer Nutrition formulates Endurolytes with a balanced profile of sodium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, covering the complete range of minerals lost through sweat and metabolic processes. Each capsule delivers modest sodium levels that complement a healthy low-salt diet while allowing precise dosage adjustments based on conditions and individual needs.

The mineral forms matter for absorption. Endurolytes uses amino acid chelates for calcium, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, bonding each mineral to amino acids like glycinate or aspartate for improved bioavailability compared to oxide or carbonate forms. This chelation process helps your body actually use what you're taking in rather than passing it through unabsorbed. Ginger root extract rounds out the formula, providing stomach-settling properties that help prevent the nausea some athletes experience with electrolyte supplementation during hard efforts.

Dosing flexibility is the capsule format's main advantage over tablets or drink mixes. The recommended starting point runs 1 capsule per 50-60 lbs of body weight, taken before, during, and after exercise. From there you can adjust capsule by capsule based on temperature, humidity, duration, and your individual sweat rate. Athletes who follow low-sodium diets typically need fewer capsules than those eating higher-salt foods, since the body's aldosterone response conserves sodium more efficiently when dietary intake is modest....
