Frequently Asked Questions

Lytework is a high-sodium electrolyte capsule designed for endurance athletes.

It delivers sodium as the primary electrolyte — with no sugar, flavour, or unnecessary fillers — so athletes can manage hydration precisely during training and racing.

Lytework is designed for endurance athletes — runners, triathletes, cyclists, and ultra-endurance athletes — as well as anyone who sweats heavily or trains for long durations.

Lytework separates sodium from fluid. This allows athletes to control sodium intake independently of how much they drink — helping reduce flavour fatigue and gut issues often caused by sweet or flavoured electrolyte products.

Most electrolyte drinks lock sodium, carbohydrate, and fluid into a fixed ratio. Lytework lets you adjust each independently based on your actual needs.

Lytework is formulated around electrolytes commonly used in endurance hydration, with a focus on simplicity and function. The primary electrolyte is sodium, supported by small amounts of other electrolytes such as magnesium and calcium.

Full ingredient details are listed on the product page.

No. Lytework products are designed to be neutral and easy to integrate into existing hydration and fuelling strategies. We avoid unnecessary flavours, sugars, and sweeteners — this is a deliberate design choice to eliminate flavour fatigue during long sessions.

Lytework is built around the idea that hydration should be precise and adaptable. Simple formulations allow athletes to control electrolyte intake without relying on heavily flavoured or complex products — and make it easier to adjust sodium independently of carbohydrate and fluid intake.

Lytework is manufactured in Australia, in a GMP-certified facility built to strict quality and safety standards. Every run is held to the same controls for consistency, hygiene, and formulation integrity — then batch-tested before it reaches you.

The capsule shell is plant-based HPMC — vegan, with no gelatine, gluten, or dairy. If you have allergies or specific dietary concerns, review the full ingredient list on the product page or consult a healthcare professional before use.

Yes. Every production run is batch-tested through HASTA (Human and Supplement Testing Australia), an independent banned-substance screening program. Each batch is verified before it ships. Want the certificate for the batch you received? Email support@lyteworklabs.com and we'll send it through.

Recommended use varies depending on training duration, intensity, conditions, and individual sweat rate. Most endurance athletes manage electrolyte intake on a per-hour basis, adjusting as conditions change.

Yes. Lytework is designed to be used alongside water, carbohydrate drinks, gels, and other fuelling strategies. The capsule format allows you to separate sodium intake from fluid or energy intake — adjusting each independently based on your needs.

The 60 capsule Starter bottle covers approximately 4–8 sessions depending on your protocol — ideal for trying Lytework or lower-volume training blocks.

The 120 capsule Training bottle offers better value per capsule and suits athletes training consistently week to week. Most athletes move to the 120 after their first order.

Lytework is formulated for regular use by endurance athletes. Always take capsules with water and adjust intake based on conditions and training load.

Lytework products are developed using evidence-based hydration principles and commonly used electrolyte ingredients. Individual hydration needs vary, and athletes should use products according to their personal requirements.

If you have a medical condition or specific dietary needs, consult a healthcare professional before use.

Lytework is designed to be gentle and easy to tolerate, particularly during endurance activity. The capsule format avoids the sugars, flavourings, and sweeteners that commonly cause GI issues with liquid electrolyte products. Individual tolerance can still vary depending on conditions, dosage, and personal sensitivity.

Muscle cramps can have multiple causes. Lytework helps athletes manage electrolyte intake as part of an overall hydration strategy, but does not guarantee the prevention of cramps. Field testing results have shown positive outcomes for athletes managing cramping in heat — but individual results vary.

Athletes with medical conditions affecting salt or fluid balance — including kidney disease, heart conditions, or hypertension — should consult a healthcare professional before using any sodium supplementation product.
