ELEC Stamina
220 mg sodium per caplet for simple, measurable electrolyte planning during long sessions and races in the heat.
Description
Description
Three hours into a hot long run, you know roughly how much you have sweated. What you rarely know is how much sodium you have put back. Elec Stamina makes that part simple: every caplet has 220 mg of sodium, so you can count it the way you count gels.
What’s in one caplet (1.15 g)
| Nutrient | Per caplet |
|---|---|
| Sodium | 220 mg |
| Potassium | 90 mg |
| Calcium | 50 mg |
| Magnesium | 15 mg |
| Vitamin B1 (thiamin) | 0.2 mg |
| Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) | 0.2 mg |
16 caplets per pack, small enough for a shorts pocket or race vest. Swallowed with water, so there’s no powder to mix at an aid station or petrol station.
Ingredients: salt, potassium chloride, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, sucralose, magnesium stearate, pullulan.
Allergen information: made in a facility that also processes milk, eggs, fish, soy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts and crustacean shellfish.
Who it’s for
Runners, cyclists, hikers and triathletes doing long sessions in the heat, where their own numbers say planned sodium makes sense. That usually means efforts past about three hours, heavy or salty sweaters, and people who drink back a large share of what they sweat.
Who doesn’t need it: most people doing a 10K, an easy hour, or any session under about two hours. Water and normal meals cover you. We’d rather you bought it for the right race than for every run.
How to use it
Take 1 to 2 caplets with water every 10 km during exercise, up to 10 caplets a day. Take them at set points on a schedule, not as a rescue when you feel bad.
To work out whether you need it, and how many, measure your sweat rate first. Our guide How Much Sodium Do You Lose Running in Malaysian Heat? walks through the arithmetic.
Common questions
Will Elec Stamina stop cramps?
We don’t claim it does. The research on running cramps points more at fatigue and pace than at salt. Read Why Runners Cramp in Malaysian Heat for what the evidence says.
Can I take it with a sports drink or QC Stamina?
Yes, but count the sodium in those too. A QC Stamina pouch has 221 mg, about the same as one caplet.
Does it replace water or food?
No. It has no energy. Keep drinking to thirst and keep eating carbohydrate on long efforts.
Can cyclists use it?
Yes. It is especially handy on long rides where you refill bottles with plain water from shops.
Should I try it before race day?
Always. Use your full race-day schedule on a long training run in similar heat.
