Electrolytes
Electrolytes are an indispensable part of the fuelling mechanism of your body, especially during high-endurance activities. Electrolytes mediate the transport of nutrients, enzymes, and fluids in and out of our cells. Common performance issues during endurance activities like muscle cramping, stomach distress, hydration imbalances, and weakness are often linked to rapid electrolyte loss due to sweating and weather conditions [1]. Undoubtedly, electrolytes are the bedrock of performance, especially during physical activities exceeding 3 hours.
Your body’s hydration status and electrolyte balance are closely linked, as the transport of electrolytes in and out of cells are carried out in a fluid medium. This means that if you are dehydrated or over-hydrated. It has an effect on the electrolyte balance of your body, which in turn has a cascading effect on your performance. [1]
The ‘sweat rate’ factor
Endurance performance is greatly compromised in warmer temperatures and higher humidity levels. To dissipate heat from the body to the environment, the blood flow to your skin increases. A greater supply of blood to your skin results in more sweating, which helps to bring down your core temperature. However, since electrolytes are transported through the body’s fluid, a large proportion of the electrolytes are also expelled along with sweat [2].
The amount and proportion in which various electrolytes are lost depend on your ‘sweat rate, which is the amount of sweat you lose during an endurance activity. Sweat rates vary wildly on an individual basis, depending on the athlete’s physiology, and the temperature and humidity levels. Knowing your sweat rate is important for understanding how your body responds to heat and humidity, and the rate at which you will dehydrate and lose electrolytes. This will help you test out an electrolyte plan and fueling strategy during training itself, to give the body the chance to acclimate to it before an important event.
Dehydration: Symptoms to watch out for:
- Dark Urine
- Muscle Spasms
- Weakness
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Extreme fatigue
- Nausea
- Dry “cottony” mouth
Our Formulation
214mg sodium, 353mg chloride, 52mg potassium, and 79mg magnesium along with 100 I.U. Vitamin D3 (derived from a plant source - lichens).
With sodium, potassium, and magnesium, Kinust Salt Capsules put your body on the right foot to fight dehydration, hyponatremia, muscle fatigue, cramps, and weakness. Kinust Salt Capsules are India’s only electrolyte capsules to offer chloride and vitamin D3 along with all the essential electrolytes to ultra-athletes in one formulation. As a key electrolyte, chloride complements sodium to maintain adequate in one formulation. As a key electrolyte, chloride complements sodium to maintain adequate fluid uptake and body-water balance. Vitamin D3 minimizes the risk of injuries by optimizing bone health and protects the immune system from becoming vulnerable post-exercise.
The Kinust Salt Capsules ensure that your overall system has a positive and synergistic balance of electrolytes and fluids throughout your activity and also help you stay in fighting fit shape to recover faster, steer clear of injuries, and get back into the next training cycle feeling as ready as ever.
Mode of action:
Electrolytes: For Re-hydration
a. Sodium:
- Sodium works closely with Chloride and redirects precious fluids to the cells and tissues
- Prevents ‘gut bomb’ effect (vomiting during races)
- Prevents hyponatremia (nausea, fatigue, and confusion)
b. Chloride:
- Regulates the body-water balance and helps to retain water.
- Limits the loss of hydration reserves lost to sweat and urine.
- Maintains the necessary volume of fluids in the blood.
c. Magnesium:
- Proper transmission of nerve impulses.
- Helps muscular contraction and energy production.
d. Potassium:
- Works closely with sodium and chloride in maintaining hydration.
- Helps in generating nerve impulses in the nerves and muscles.
- Enhances performance.
Vitamin D3: For Recovery
Vitamin D3 has also been found to be effective in regulating electrolyte metabolism and contributes towards attaining euhydration (state of optimal total body water content as regulated by the brain) – a state where the body is in an optimal state of hydration during exercise. Vitamin D3 is also an important factor in promoting protein synthesis after exercise, which assists in faster muscle recovery and rebuilding [3].

What is the suggested use of Kinust Salt Capsules?
The intake of electrolytes depends a great deal on your sweat rate and the external weather conditions during your endurance activity. However, below is a general guideline to help you customize your electrolyte fuelling plan with electrolyte salt capsules: Sweat rate: Light - 1 capsule/2 hour Sweat rate: Moderate - 1 capsule/hour Sweat rate: Heavy - 2 capsules/hour Light: very little sweat (think working out in an air-conditioned gym) Moderate: a decent amount of sweat (think of the amount you sweat during an easy training run) Heavy: you are sweating! (during LSD training runs, faster runs, and races) Most athletes in India fall under the moderate-heavy category.
How to consume salt capsules?
Consume just enough water needed to swallow the electrolyte capsules (approximately 50 ml). The rest of your hydration should come from your sports drink, in accordance with your fuelling plan. As a general guideline for your electrolyte plan and fuelling strategy, we recommend that you determine what your sweat rate is during normal weather conditions. You should also test out your electrolyte plan during training, so you can adapt it to your sweat rate and physiology, and give your system time to acclimate to your overall fuelling strategy. Needless to say, every athlete sweats differently and reacts uniquely to heat and humidity. You should tailor your intake of Kinust Salt Capsules according to your sweat rate and the temperature conditions during your activity. Again, we recommend that you consume the capsules when training in similar conditions, to get the best out of the Kinust Salt Capsules. Please note that the Kinust Salt Capsules are not intended to be consumed as your primary source of race fuelling or hydration. While the Kinust Salt Capsules are excellent for electrolyte, and vitamin D3 replenishment – you still need an adequate intake of water and fuelling nutrients like carbohydrates during your activity. Kinust Salt Capsules should be a part of an overall fuelling strategy, along with water and a suitable sports drink or gel.
My sports drink has electrolytes. Why do I need to take an electrolyte balance?
Average sports drink only provide electrolytes for a short duration. Further, your gut has a limited capacity for water. Constant intake of large quantities of sports drink over the course of several hours may cause excessive fluid retention – over and above what your system can effectively process and use. This can result in an uncomfortable “sloshing” effect in your stomach, which can be a source of nausea and stomach distress. Electrolyte capsules like Kinust Salt Capsules are formulated specifically to deliver essential electrolytes to you in a form that your body can easily absorb, and in proportions that will meet your electrolyte losses, without overloading your system with excessive electrolytes and fluid. Kinust Salt Capsules seamlessly compensate for your electrolyte losses over the course of a gruelling endurance activity. We recommend that you use the Kinust Salt Capsules in conjunction with our hydration and endurance sports drink as a part of an overall fuelling strategy.
What is the suggested maximum intake of Kinust Salt Capsules per day?
The suggested limit is 10 electrolyte capsules per day. However, the intensity, duration, and/or heat associated with a particular activity may warrant additional intake. Moreover, each athlete possesses unique personal and biological requirements for optimum electrolyte replacement. It is also suggested to consult your doctor before exceeding the recommended dosage.
How much water should I consume with the Kinust Salt Capsules?
You should aim to drink just enough water to swallow the electrolyte capsules (approximately 50ml). Apart from that, the strategy should be to keep yourself hydrated with a sports drink, as per your fuelling plan.
Why can’t I just add salt to my sports drink?
As part of our diet, table salt (Sodium Chloride) is our primary source of sodium in our everyday lives. During sweating, endurance athletes not only lose sodium, but other essential nutrients like chloride, magnesium, and potassium. The physiology of the vital electrolytes is interconnected. A spike in the levels of sodium alone is detrimental to your system and performance. Kinust Caffeinated Electrolyte Salt Capsules offer balanced and proportional replenishment of all major electrolytes.¬
I am on a sodium-restricted diet. Can I safely consume salt capsules?
If you are on a sodium-restricted diet, we recommend you consult your physician before consuming Kinust Salt Capsules.
Do the Kinust Salt Capsules contain any banned substances?
Kinust Salt Capsules are formulated in accordance with WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) guidelines and do not contain any banned substances. However, please note that WADA does not offer any confirmation written or otherwise, of the same.
