What is the Sodii Electrolyte Starter Pack and who is it for?
The Sodii Electrolyte Starter Pack is an 8-sachet sample collection containing one sachet of each available flavour: Salty Citrus, Salty Raspberry, Salty Passionfruit, Salty Grapefruit, Salty Pineapple, Salty Mandarin, Salty Kiwi, and Unflavoured. Each sachet delivers 1000mg sodium, 210mg potassium, and 70mg magnesium sourced from Lake Deborah salt, an ancient lake salt described as the highest quality salt available in Australia. It’s a low-carbohydrate formula with less than 0.8g carbs per serve, made with natural ingredients and no unnecessary additives.
The starter pack is a practical entry point for anyone wanting to try Sodii before committing to a full box or tub. If you’re not sure which flavour you’ll reach for most, or you’re simply curious whether a purposefully salty, mineral-forward electrolyte drink fits your routine, this is the most sensible way to find out. It suits daily hydration, active lifestyles, hot weather, and anyone who wants to move away from sugary sports drinks without sacrificing electrolyte intake.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Most electrolyte products on the market lean heavily on carbohydrates and flavouring to mask what’s actually a modest mineral payload. Sodii takes a different approach: high sodium front and centre, with potassium and magnesium in ratios designed around cellular absorption rather than taste appeal. The use of Lake Deborah ancient lake salt as the sodium source is a genuine point of difference, given the mineral profile of ancient lake salts compared to standard refined sodium chloride.
The starter pack format is genuinely useful here: electrolyte tolerance and flavour preference are personal, and trialling six options before buying in bulk is a reasonable approach. We stock Sodii because the formulation is clean, the sodium dose is meaningful rather than token, and the low-carbohydrate profile makes it compatible with a wide range of dietary approaches.
Why This Formulation / How It Works
Most commercial electrolyte drinks use sodium chloride (table salt) as their sodium source and add modest amounts of potassium and magnesium as secondary inclusions. Sodii uses Lake Deborah salt, an ancient lake salt from Western Australia, as its primary sodium source. Ancient lake salts carry a broader trace mineral profile than refined sodium chloride, and the higher mineral complexity may contribute to the absorption characteristics the brand emphasises. The formula deliberately keeps carbohydrates below 0.8g per serve, which distinguishes it from traditional sports drinks that rely on glucose co-transport to drive sodium absorption.
The formulation also avoids artificial colours, flavours, and unnecessary fillers, which matters if you’re using this daily rather than occasionally.
Sodium’s Role in Fluid Distribution
Sodium is the primary extracellular electrolyte and the key driver of fluid movement across cell membranes. When sodium concentration outside the cell is adequate, water follows via osmosis into the spaces where it’s needed. At 1000mg per serve, Sodii provides a meaningful sodium dose rather than the token 200-300mg found in many competing products.
Potassium and Magnesium as Co-Electrolytes
Potassium is the primary intracellular electrolyte and works in concert with sodium to maintain the electrochemical gradients that cells depend on. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic processes and is a cofactor in ATP production within muscle tissue. Including both at physiologically relevant doses (210mg potassium, 70mg magnesium) rather than trace amounts reflects a formulation built around cellular function rather than label marketing.
When to Consider This
This starter pack makes sense if you’re:
- New to Sodii and want to try different flavours before committing to a full box or tub.
- Active, training regularly, or working outdoors in warm conditions where sweat losses are meaningful.
- Following a lower-carbohydrate or ketogenic dietary approach, where sodium excretion tends to be higher than average.
- Looking to move away from sugar-heavy sports drinks while maintaining electrolyte intake.
- Someone who drinks a lot of plain water and wants to add minerals without adding significant carbohydrates or calories.
Supplement strategy: Sodii fits naturally as a foundational daily supplement alongside food, not as a replacement for it. Most people use it as a morning ritual, during or after exercise, or as an afternoon pick-up when energy dips. Once you’ve identified your preferred flavour from the starter pack, the sachet boxes or tubs offer better value for ongoing use.
⚠️ Not suitable for: Individuals on sodium-restricted diets or with conditions requiring medical supervision of electrolyte intake. Consult your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease, hypertension, or are on medications that affect electrolyte levels.
How to Use
Dissolve one sachet in 500-750mL of water and drink as needed. Each sachet delivers 1000mg sodium, 210mg potassium, and 70mg magnesium. Adjust water volume to taste preference: more water gives a lighter flavour, less water gives a more pronounced salty-mineral profile.
The starter pack contains 6 sachets, one of each flavour, or in the 12 pack it contains 2 of each flavour. This makes it easy to identify which flavour suits your palate before purchasing a full box or tub. The Unflavoured sachet works well mixed into other beverages or smoothies if you prefer not to taste the electrolytes directly.

Common Questions
How is this different from regular sports drinks?
Most sports drinks use refined sodium chloride at relatively low doses (200-400mg) and rely on sugar to drive absorption. Sodii uses Lake Deborah ancient lake salt at 1000mg sodium per serve, with potassium and magnesium included at meaningful doses, and keeps carbohydrates below 0.8g per serve. The result is a mineral-forward formula that doesn’t depend on sugar for efficacy.
Is 1000mg of sodium per serve too much?
Context matters here. Sweat losses during moderate exercise can range from 500mg to well over 1500mg of sodium per hour depending on the individual and conditions. For active people, people in hot climates, or those following low-carbohydrate diets (which increase sodium excretion), 1000mg per serve is a physiologically appropriate dose rather than an excess. If you’re sedentary and on a sodium-restricted diet for medical reasons, speak with your healthcare professional before use.
Can I use the Unflavoured sachet in coffee or other drinks?
Yes. The Unflavoured variant is designed for exactly this use case. It dissolves readily and adds electrolytes without affecting the flavour profile of whatever you’re mixing it into.
What’s the best way to decide which flavour to buy after trying the starter pack?
Note which sachet you reach for first and which one you finish most easily. Flavour preference with electrolyte drinks can differ from regular beverages because of the sodium content, so it’s worth trying each one before deciding. The starter pack is specifically designed for this purpose.
Warnings & Storage
Do not use if: You are on a medically supervised sodium-restricted diet, or have been advised by your healthcare professional to limit electrolyte intake.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep sachets sealed until use.
Always consult your healthcare professional before use if you have any pre-existing conditions or are taking medications.
