TopSpec Electrolytes is a high-salt formula flavoured with wildberry, declared at 20.3% sodium, 37.6% chloride, 7.5% potassium and 0.4% each of calcium and magnesium, with glucose at 31.4% to aid uptake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopSpec are clear on two points that get missed. It is fed in addition to the salt already in the diet, not instead of it, and they recommend continuing for at least two days after the sweating rather than stopping the same evening.
