Science
Sweat science, simplified.
Here's what's in one scoop, with every number straight off our label.

- Potassium 250mg
- Magnesium 60mg
- Chloride 1,250mg
- 0g Sugar
- 2,310mg Electrolytes
Fun fact
Even our name has a formula.
Three ideas in seven letters and one little 2.

- Rho The Greek letter scientists use for density.
- Water's density: about 1 g/mL.
- H2O h + 2 + o = H2O. Water. Hydration.
- Say it out loud: Rhovive, like revive.
What electrolytes actually do.
Replacing sweat is only part of the story.
Who does what
- Magnesium
- Helps run the sodium-potassium pump and helps muscles contract and relax normally.†5
Hydration and fluid balance
Your body keeps water in two places: outside your cells (your blood and the fluid around them) and inside them. Sodium and chloride hold water on the outside, and potassium holds it on the inside.†2,3 Together they help keep your fluids in balance.†1
In one scoop
- 750mg sodium (33% DV)
- 1,250mg chloride (54% DV)
- 250mg potassium (5% DV)
Nerve signals
A nerve signal is minerals on the move: sodium rushes into a nerve cell to fire it, potassium flows out to reset it, and the pump puts both back.4 Magnesium helps move potassium and calcium in and out of cells, a step nerves rely on to send signals.†7 All three help your nerves work normally.†1,8
In one scoop
- 750mg sodium (33% DV)
- 250mg potassium (5% DV)
- 60mg magnesium (14% DV)
Muscles: contract, then relax
Your muscles fire on the same sodium-potassium charge your nerves use.3 Inside each muscle fiber, magnesium helps drive the pump that moves calcium back into storage, part of how a muscle contracts and then relaxes.†5 Sodium and potassium support normal muscle contraction, and magnesium supports normal contraction and relaxation.†1,5,8
In one scoop
- 750mg sodium (33% DV)
- 250mg potassium (5% DV)
- 60mg magnesium (14% DV)
Heart function
Your heart is a muscle too, and each normal beat starts as an electrical impulse from its natural pacemaker.9 Potassium and magnesium play a part in the electrical signals of a normal heartbeat and help your heart work normally.†1,7,8
In one scoop
- 250mg potassium (5% DV)
- 60mg magnesium (14% DV)
A small top-up, not the whole job: many fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of potassium.3
A note on sodium: most people already get more than they need from their diet, so Rhovive's 750mg is meant for days you sweat. Barely sweating today? Plain water may be all you need.10
Recovery after a sweat
What you sweat out is mostly water and salt: sodium and chloride, with only a little potassium.2,3 After a sweat, sodium helps your body hold on to the fluid you drink: in two small studies of men after exercise, they kept more of what they drank when the drink had more sodium.†11,12 One scoop has about as much sodium as the average athlete sweats out in 45 minutes of training.13
In one scoop
- 750mg sodium (33% DV)
- 1,250mg chloride (54% DV)
Sized to help replace what you sweat out.†

Australian Mineral Sea Salt

What it isSea salt.
Why it's in thereOur sodium and chloride, the two minerals you lose most in sweat.
Potassium Citrate

What it isPotassium paired with citric acid.
Why it's in thereOur potassium. It works with sodium on fluid balance.
Magnesium Malate

What it isMagnesium paired with malic acid.
Why it's in thereOne of our two magnesium sources. Magnesium supports normal muscle function.
Magnesium Glycinate

What it isMagnesium bound to glycine, an amino acid.
Why it's in thereGlycine wraps the magnesium in a form that's gentle on the stomach. Together with malate, it makes 60mg of magnesium, which supports normal muscle and nerve function.
Sugarcane Reb M (as OnoSweet™)

What it isReb M, a sweetener made from sugarcane.
Why it's in thereOur main sweetener: clean, without stevia's bitter aftertaste, and 0g sugar.
Stevia Leaf Extract

What it isSweetness from the stevia plant.
Why it's in thereA little extra sweetness, in a smaller amount than the Reb M.
Organic Turmeric Powder (for color) Peach only

What it isGround turmeric root, organic.
Why it's in therePeach's golden color.
Organic Red Beet Juice Powder (for color)

What it isDried red beet juice, organic.
Why it's in thereThe color. No artificial dyes.
What's not in it
- Sugar
- Maltodextrin
- Silicon dioxide
- Artificial dyes
- Artificial sweeteners
- Fillers, binders or anti-caking agents
