Electrolyte Salts

You are right that the exact amount of potassium in milligrams is not explicitly stated on the label of this product, even though potassium citrate is among the ingredients and potassium is mentioned among the product's benefits. This is a shortcoming in the formula's transparency, which we at AdvancedU rate as a weaker aspect of the product. If the exact potassium intake matters to you (for example, due to dietary tracking or a health condition), we recommend contacting the manufacturer Polleo Sport directly for the exact figure.

Ginger extract is present in the formula in a 4:1 ratio, but the exact dose in mg is not stated, making it difficult to assess whether it reaches the levels used in studies on ginger's effects on digestion or nausea. Ginger does have some support in the general literature for alleviating nausea from various causes, but in this product it is not the main active ingredient and the dose is not intended for a standalone therapeutic effect, but rather added as a supportive ingredient alongside the electrolytes. If you have frequent issues with nausea during exercise, we recommend investigating the cause with a doctor, as it can have several different reasons.

The manufacturer explicitly states on the label that people taking medication should consult a doctor before use, which also applies to blood pressure medication. The reason is that additional intake of sodium and potassium can affect the action of certain medications (for example, diuretics or ACE inhibitors) and the body's electrolyte balance. Since the product contains 450 mg of sodium per dose, we advise you to check with your doctor, who is familiar with your therapy and health condition, before regular use.

We cannot claim that the product reliably prevents cramps. One study showed that an electrolyte drink with added amino acids can reduce post-exercise cramps compared to a standard carbohydrate-electrolyte drink, but the differences were modest, and the mechanism of muscle cramps remains multifactorial and not dependent solely on electrolyte intake (McIntosh et al., 2024). Electrolyte Salts contains sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, all of which contribute to normal muscle function, so it may help reduce the risk of cramps as part of a broader hydration strategy, but we cannot guarantee a specific effect on cramp prevention.
