Athletes routinely push their bodies to the limit, facing hours of sustained effort, significant sweat loss, and high energy demands. But hydration isn’t just about drinking water; electrolytes play a key role in performance, recovery, and overall safety. Inside the Nix Solo app, athletes can choose from over a dozen popular electrolyte formulas, or they can create their own custom drinks that automatically save to their Nix profile.
The Nix Solo app includes a Custom Drink Calculator to help athletes understand how much water they should be adding to the electrolyte formula that they have on hand or that they prefer over the others. This calculator gives athletes an easy way adjust their electrolyte formula to match their exact needs based on their personal sweat composition data.
To use the Custom Drink Calculator in the Nix Solo app, navigate to the Home Screen and expand the module.
As an athlete is about to begin a workout, they will first identify which electrolyte formula they plan to consume. If an athlete has both LMNT and Nuun to choose from, they can utilize the Custom Drink Calculator to identify how much water they would need to add to each one in order to reach the drink composition that matches their personal sweat composition.
Option 1: Add 1 serving of LMNT to ~19 oz of water.
Option 2: Add 1 serving of Nuun Sport to ~8 oz of water
The Custom Drink Calculator helps athletes easily adjust their hydration strategy as training conditions change. A cool spring marathon and a hot, humid Ironman demand different fluid and electrolyte plans, and this tool makes it simple to adapt. Once you’ve found the hydration brands and flavors that work for you, the calculator lets you fine-tune your mix to best match the demands of any training session or race.
