Free sweat calculator — your formula, not the average

Know exactly what to drink.

Hot yoga at 107°F for 73 minutes loses 4,500 mg of sodium. A standard sports drink replaces 7% of what you lose. Sweat sodium varies tenfold between people — your formula is not the label. Get yours free in 60 seconds.

The math nobody shows you

Standard products give everyone the same dose. Sweat sodium ranges 200–2,000 mg/L between people — a tenfold spread. Here is what the numbers actually look like.

Athlete / session Sweat rate Na loss/hr Sports drink gives The gap
Light runner, cool day, 60 min 0.7 L/hr 560 mg ~330 mg 230 mg short
Average cyclist, 90 min moderate 1.1 L/hr 1,210 mg ~330 mg 880 mg short
Hot yoga, 107°F, 73 min 1.7 L/hr 1,870 mg ~330 mg 1,540 mg short
Salty sweater, summer trail race, 2 hr 2.1 L/hr 3,780 mg ~330 mg 3,450 mg short

Na loss = sweat rate × sodium concentration (800–1,800 mg/L range). Standard sports drink: 1 serving ~330 mg Na. Sources: GSSI, PMID 33895027.
