The Eleqt Hydration Calculator was born from personal necessity. When Carl and Jordan created this tool, Jordan was training for an Ironman triathlon and experiencing severe cramping that hindered his performance. Meanwhile, Carl was preparing for a marathon and found himself becoming exhausted from drinking water during his runs, a phenomenon now recognized as hyponatremia—a dangerous condition where electrolytes become too diluted in the bloodstream. Their shared struggles highlighted a critical gap in personalized hydration guidance that existing one-size-fits-all recommendations couldn't address.
To develop a solution, they conducted extensive research involving diverse participants across various activities and climates. Test subjects ranging from casual exercisers to elite athletes were monitored during running, cycling, swimming, team sports, and high-intensity training. The research team collected sweat samples to analyze fluid loss rates and electrolyte concentrations, particularly sodium and potassium. They meticulously tracked variables including pre-exercise nutrition, environmental conditions, exercise intensity, and individual physiological factors such as weight, height, and gender to identify patterns in hydration needs.
What emerged from this research was a sophisticated algorithm that accounts for the complex interplay between body composition, activity type, and gender-specific factors. The data revealed significant variations in individual sweat rates and electrolyte concentrations—some participants lost up to three times more sodium per hour than others performing the same activity. These findings confirmed that standardized hydration guidelines were inadequate for optimal performance and recovery, and could even be detrimental in some cases.
Our hydration formula is enhanced by artificial intelligence working behind the scenes to deliver truly personalized recommendations. The AI system analyzes thousands of data points from our research studies, continuously learning and refining its understanding of how different factors interact to affect individual hydration needs.
When you input your personal data, our AI model compares your profile against this comprehensive dataset, identifying patterns and correlations that would be impossible to detect with traditional statistical methods alone. This machine learning approach allows us to account for the complex, non-linear relationships between variables like body composition, activity type, intensity, and environmental conditions—delivering hydration recommendations tailored specifically to your unique physiology and activity profile.
The Eleqt Hydration Calculator represents a first-of-its-kind tool designed to help individuals find their optimal electrolyte and fluid balance. Unlike generic recommendations, our calculator provides personalized guidance based on scientifically validated data. We recognize that each person's hydration needs are as unique as their fingerprint—influenced by genetics, training status, acclimatization, and numerous other factors. By offering tailored recommendations, we empower athletes and active individuals to optimize their hydration strategy for improved performance, enhanced recovery, and reduced risk of hydration-related issues. Because when it comes to reaching your full potential, personalization isn't just beneficial—it's essential.
