The problem

Sodium loss varies tenfold between athletes. Drinks are built for one.

Every electrolyte drink binds sodium to fluid and to flavour. To get more sodium you have to drink more — and tolerate more sugar. For most athletes, that math breaks before the race does.

Lytework separates the variable that changes most from the ones that don't.

  • Heat sessions demand more sodium. Drinks make you swallow more fluid to get it.
  • Long sessions demand sustained sodium. Drinks fail the taste test after hour two.
  • Taper week needs sodium support without high fluid load. Drinks force you to choose.
  • Race day demands precision. Drinks deliver a single fixed dose.
Field trials

Real athletes. Real conditions. Useful data.

Capsules tested across triathlon training, long rides, and race simulations. Universal feedback: better hydration outcomes, no flavour fatigue, easier titration.

345mg
Elemental sodium per capsule

Calibrated against field data to give heavy sweaters real headroom — two capsules at once is a legitimate protocol.

7 / 7
Reported improved hydration

Across triathlon, ultra, and long-ride applications. Universal feedback on flexibility and tolerance.

9hr
Endurance ride · no cramps

A cyclist took 4+ capsules per hour for nine straight hours without GI distress or cramping. Standout result.

"Finally something I can take during a long ride without choking down sweet drink for nine hours."

"Sodium is the variable nobody gets right, and capsules are the only format that makes sense for it."

— Professional triathlete
How to use

Four principles. Four dials. Each adjusted independently.

The SALT framework decouples the things hydration drinks bundle together. Build a baseline once, then scale by conditions.

01
Fluid

Drink to thirst.

Plain water or your usual sports drink. Lytework doesn't replace your fluid strategy — it sits alongside it.

02
Sodium

Dose to your sweat.

The calculator gives you a per-hour capsule rate based on your physiology and conditions. Two minutes to set up.

03
Timing

Take with any fluid.

One capsule with water, a gel, or a sports drink. No mixing, no flavour, no measuring. Drip-feed across the session.

04
Adjustment

Scale with conditions.

Hotter day? Take another. Going longer than planned? Take another. Sodium becomes a dial, not a fixed prescription.

Not a drink. A dosing system.

The format is the strategy.

Powdered electrolyte mixes are excellent at what they do. They just bundle sodium with flavour and fluid — which becomes the limiting factor when conditions demand more.

Common questions

What endurance athletes have been asking.

The first production run is in late-stage manufacturing. Early access subscribers will get a private window before public launch — join the list and you'll hear first.

Depends on your sweat rate, the heat, and the duration. The free calculator gives you a per-hour rate in two minutes. Most athletes land between 1–3 capsules per hour.

Race-specific guidance for Ironman, marathon, ultra, and HYROX is on the protocols page.

Yes — but spaced dosing usually performs better. For most athletes, one capsule every 30 minutes maintains a steadier plasma sodium concentration than doubling up. Two capsules at once is appropriate when conditions demand it — extreme heat, very high sweat rates, or athletes with documented high sodium loss — but always with 300-400ml of fluid alongside. The calculator builds a session-specific protocol based on your physiology, conditions, and dose timing rather than a fixed rule.

Because carbohydrate needs scale with intensity, not with sweat. Sodium needs scale with sweat, not with intensity. Bundling them forces a compromise. Lytework lets you handle carbs with your gels and sports drink — and sodium with the capsule.

This is the core of the SALT framework: four variables, four dials, each adjusted independently.

Powdered mixes bundle sodium with flavour and require fluid. They're excellent at what they do. But if you're a heavy sweater in heat at hour four, your flavour ceiling caps your sodium intake.

Capsules separate sodium from fluid entirely. Take one with anything — water, a gel, a sports drink. The dose isn't dependent on whether you can stomach more flavoured drink.

Lytework also includes magnesium and calcium cofactors. Read the research.

A plant-based HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) capsule, made from vegetable cellulose — chosen for clean, reliable dissolution and broad tolerability under load.

Vegan and vegetarian friendly. Gluten-free and dairy-free.
