Calculate

How long is each workout or activity session?

How many exercise sessions per week?

How much do you typically sweat during activity?

What's the typical temperature during your activity?

Check the nutrition label on your electrolyte product. Look for 'Sodium' in milligrams (mg).

Check the nutrition label for 'Potassium' in milligrams (mg).

Check the nutrition label for 'Magnesium' in milligrams (mg).

Check the nutrition label for 'Calcium' in milligrams (mg).

This only changes how results are labeled. A 'serving' means one bottle/can OR one packet as prepared.

Select kilograms or pounds.

Your body weight is required for a more accurate estimate.
