PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration Sachets
Science-Backed Hydration for Training, Racing & Everyday Performance
PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration Sachets provide a convenient, scientifically formulated electrolyte drink designed to support hydration before, during and after exercise.
Each 7g single-serve sachet delivers 400mg sodium, 190mg potassium and 80mg magnesium, providing a targeted electrolyte profile to help replace key electrolytes lost through sweat. The formula is low calorie, naturally flavoured, contains no added sugar and is completely caffeine-free.
Simply tear open a sachet, mix it into 500–750ml of water, shake and you're ready to go. That makes the individual sachets especially convenient for trail running, ultramarathons, hiking, racing, travel and long training days when carrying a full tub isn't practical.
For the Tribe&Trail community, they're a simple way to add electrolytes to your hydration strategy without adding another significant carbohydrate source to your bottle.
400mg Sodium Per Serve
Sodium is the dominant electrolyte lost through sweat, making it an important part of hydration during prolonged exercise—particularly when training and racing in hot conditions.
Each PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration sachet provides:
- 400mg Sodium
- 190mg Potassium
- 80mg Magnesium
PILLAR developed the formula around a 400mg sodium target rather than pursuing increasingly high sodium concentrations. The company says the formulation was designed with drink osmolarity and use alongside carbohydrate fuelling in mind.
For trail and ultra runners, this is particularly relevant because your hydration rarely exists in isolation—you may also be consuming energy gels, chews, drink mixes and real food throughout an event.
Complete Three-Electrolyte Profile
PILLAR focuses on three key electrolytes:
Sodium – 400mg
Supports fluid regulation and helps replace sodium lost through sweat.
Potassium – 190mg
Works alongside sodium in maintaining fluid balance and supports normal muscle function.
Magnesium – 80mg
Supports normal muscle function and energy metabolism.
PILLAR uses these electrolytes in citrate form, with the formula developed around hydration and absorption during exercise.
Made for Running & Endurance Sport
Good hydration becomes increasingly important as distance, temperature and time on your feet increase.
PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration can be consumed before, during or after exercise, making it easy to integrate into your existing hydration and fuelling strategy.
It's particularly useful for:
- Trail running
- Ultra running
- Ultramarathons
- Road running
- Marathon training
- Hiking and bushwalking
- Fastpacking
- Cycling
- Adventure racing
- Gym and fitness training
- Hot-weather exercise
- Everyday hydration
For Western Australian runners training through warmer conditions, having an easy-to-carry electrolyte option can be particularly useful on long days outdoors.
No Added Sugar
PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration contains no added sugar, giving you more flexibility in how you build your endurance nutrition strategy.
This can be especially useful if you prefer to separate your hydration and carbohydrate intake.
For example, you can use PILLAR Electrolyte Hydration in your flask or bottle while getting your carbohydrates from your preferred:
- Energy gels
- Energy chews
- Gummies
- Bars
- Real food
That allows you to adjust your hydration and fuelling independently according to the duration and intensity of your adventure.
Single-Serve Sachets – Easy to Carry Anywhere
For trail and ultra runners, convenience matters.
Each sachet contains a single 7g serve, so there's no measuring or carrying a bulky container.
Throw a few sachets into your:
- Running vest
- Hiking pack
- Drop bag
- Race kit
- Travel bag
- Gym bag
They're particularly practical for ultramarathons and long-distance events, where additional sachets can be stored in drop bags or carried between aid stations.
Just add one to your bottle or soft flask, fill with water and mix.
How to Use
1 Sachet = 1 Serve
Add one 7g sachet to 500–750ml of water and mix well.
Consume before, during or after exercise to support hydration and help replace electrolytes lost through physical activity.
PILLAR advises a maximum of four serves per day.
For longer sessions, PILLAR notes that the product can also be mixed into up to 1 litre of water.
