ELECTROLYTE POWDER AUSTRALIA

ELECTROLYTE POWDER, BUILT FOR THE MIDDLE

Most electrolyte powders in Australia are built for the extremes: clinical rehydration formulas at one end, 500 to 1000mg sodium mixes for heavy-sweating athletes at the other. Base 250 is built for the middle, where most of us actually live - the daily gym session, the hot walk to the station, the long day on site, the fasted morning run.

Each 6g sachet carries 250mg sodium, 250mg potassium, 60mg magnesium and 40mg vitamin C, with zero sugar and no artificial colours. It is non-carbonated, so it mixes cleanly into any water bottle, and it releases molecular hydrogen as it dissolves - more on that below.

Honest promise: if you are sedentary and eating normally, water is enough. Electrolytes matter when you sweat. That is when we would like to be in your bottle.

WHAT BASE 250 IS

An everyday electrolyte that also releases hydrogen.

One 6g sachet, 500ml of water, once a day. A moderate dose built for ordinary days rather than race day, and it fizzes as it dissolves.

THE DOSE

WHY 250MG OF SODIUM, NOT 1000MG?

WHERE BASE 250 SITS

Not a salt bomb.
Not a sugar hit.

A moderate daily dose, an honest label, and nothing to plug in. Compared against product categories, not brands.

Generic category comparison based on publicly available product labels, 2026. We do not name, rank or rate individual brands. Category entries vary by product.

Because we did the maths on an ordinary day, not a worst-case one.

Published research puts sweat sodium losses across a huge range - roughly 230mg to over 2,000mg per litre, at sweat rates of 0.5 to 2 litres per hour. A moderate session costs a few hundred milligrams of sodium; a brutal hot one, several thousand. Both are real, but only one is most people's Tuesday - and most Australians already exceed the suggested dietary sodium target through food alone. An extra 1000mg in every glass should follow evidence of heavy losses, not sit there by default.

So the 250mg serve is a dial, not a compromise:

  • One sachet:the daily session, the hot day, the recovery glass, travel and fasting windows
  • Two sachets:the long run, the sauna-and-train day, the full day outdoors in summer
  • Honest referral:if you are a confirmed heavy, salty sweater doing multi-hour sessions, a higher-sodium sports formula genuinely suits you better, and our comparison guide says exactly that

Alongside the sodium: 250mg of potassium and 60mg of magnesium, the other two electrolytes that leave in sweat, plus 40mg of vitamin C. Zero sugar, no artificial colours, in every serve.

ONE THING WE WILL NOT PRINT

The whole label,
not a headline number.

Nearly every hydrogen product leads with a ppm concentration figure. We do not. A number measured the instant powder hits water is not what your body takes up, and hydrogen leaves an open glass fast - it looks precise and tells you very little.

So here is the whole panel instead. No proprietary blend, and no number we cannot stand behind.

Formulated supplementary sports food. Not suitable for children under 15 or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision. Not a sole source of nutrition.

HOW TO USE IT

Tear, stir, drink.
That is the whole ritual.

1
Tear one sachet

One 6g stick. Berry, Lemon or Tropical, all the same formula underneath.

2
Stir into 500ml

It fizzes as it dissolves. That visible reaction is the molecular hydrogen being released.

3
Drink it fresh

Hydrogen leaves an open glass over time, so do not let it sit on the bench.

Research suggests molecular hydrogen may support antioxidant capacity, lower perceived exertion and aid recovery. Promising, but still-developing science.

FAQ

ELECTROLYTE POWDER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED HONESTLY

Do I actually need an electrolyte powder every day? +
No, and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. On a sedentary day in mild weather with normal meals, water covers you. Electrolytes earn their place when you sweat: training, heat, long days outdoors, saunas, fasting windows and travel. Base 250 is built for daily use on the days that involve sweat, which for many Australians is most days in summer and training days year-round.
What is in each Base 250 sachet? +
Each 6g sachet contains 250mg sodium, 250mg potassium, 60mg magnesium and 40mg vitamin C, with zero sugar and no artificial colours. It is non-carbonated and mixes into around 500 to 750mL of water, to taste.
Why only 250mg of sodium when other brands have 1000mg? +
Different brands target different sweat losses. A typical moderate session costs a few hundred milligrams of sodium, while multi-hour hot sessions for salty sweaters can cost thousands. The 500 to 1000mg products are built for that second group. Base 250 is built for the first, which is most people on most days, and you can take two sachets on bigger days. If you regularly finish sessions crusted in salt after multiple hours, a higher-sodium product may honestly suit you better.
What is the molecular hydrogen thing about? +
Base 250 uses elemental magnesium, which reacts with water in your glass to release dissolved molecular hydrogen, one of the most studied molecules in wellness science. Research suggests molecular hydrogen may support antioxidant capacity, lower perceived exertion and aid recovery - the science is promising but still developing. The full evidence picture is on our science page.
Is Base 250 a sports drink replacement? +
For sessions under about 90 minutes, yes, it does the hydration job without the sugar. For long endurance sessions beyond that, sports nutrition guidance supports taking in carbohydrate as well, so pair a zero-sugar electrolyte with gels or food, or use a carbohydrate sports drink. Different tools for different sessions.
Can I drink it while fasting? +
Base 250 is zero sugar, which is why many people use it during fasting windows to keep fluids and electrolytes up. If you follow a strict protocol for medical reasons, check with your doctor.
I am on a medication that reduces my appetite. Should I use electrolytes? +
Some appetite-reducing medications prescribed for weight management lead people to eat and drink noticeably less, which can make it harder to maintain fluid and electrolyte intake through food. Whether an electrolyte product has a place in your routine is a question for your prescribing doctor, and we would encourage you to have that conversation before adding anything.
What flavours and formats can I buy? +
The 30-Pack is $69.99 ($2.33 per serve) in Berry, Lemon or Tropical. The Trio 15-Pack is $39.99 and includes all three flavours, which is the easiest way to find your favourite. Single sachets are $3.49. Every format is the same formula: 250mg sodium, 250mg potassium, 60mg magnesium, 40mg vitamin C, zero sugar.
THE SCIENCE OF HYDROGEN

WHAT THE RESEARCH
ACTUALLY SAYS.

Base 250 releases dissolved molecular hydrogen when its elemental magnesium reacts with the water in your glass. H₂ is the smallest molecule there is, and one of the most studied in wellness science.

Research suggests molecular hydrogen may support antioxidant capacity, lower perceived exertion and aid recovery.

Promising, but still-developing science. We explain exactly what the evidence shows, and what it does not yet, on our science page.

THE PITCH, QUIETLY

START WITH THE DAY YOU ACTUALLY HAVE

The electrolyte market spends a lot of energy convincing you that every day is race day. Ours is a quieter pitch: most days are moderate days, and moderate days deserved a properly built option. One sachet of Base 250 replaces electrolytes lost through sweat with 250mg sodium, 250mg potassium, 60mg magnesium and 40mg vitamin C, at zero sugar, with dissolved molecular hydrogen released in every glass.

New here? The Trio 15-Pack at $39.99 is the sensible first order: fifteen serves across Berry, Lemon and Tropical, enough to run it through two real weeks of training, heat and early starts. Found your flavour? The 30-Pack at $69.99 brings it to $2.33 per serve. And if you want the mechanism before the marketing, the science page lays out the hydrogen evidence, hedges included.

General information only, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take prescribed medication, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before changing your hydration or supplement routine.
