1

ANALYZE YOUR SWEAT

We lose important electrolytes through sweat, especially the rapidly volatile sodium.
2

Measure your sodium level

The sodium concentration in sweat is individual and can vary greatly from person to person.
3

COSTUMIZE YOUR DRINK

Use your sodium concentration to tailor your drink and nutrition strategy to your individual needs.

CRAMPS, PERFORMANCE LOSS, DEHYDRATION?

Tailor the drink to your individual needs and
ensure balanced fluid and electrolyte intake.

Optimally dose the drink

SIMPLE SELF-TEST

Apply a plaster, sweat, and send it in. Done. It’s that easy to analyze your sweat with SWEAT TEST.

KNOW-HOW

Salt ≠ sodium

Our normal table salt consists of sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl). 1 g of table salt contains approximately 400 mg of sodium and 600 mg of chloride. To replace 1000 mg of sodium, approximately 2.5 g of table salt is required.

Salt loss

Net salt loss during exercise is the product of the two factors sweat volume and the individual salt concentration in sweat. While the latter is relatively constant, the sweat volume varies, particularly with temperature and exercise intensity.

Function of salt

Sodium and chloride, components of table salt, are responsible, among other things, for our body's water balance. Sodium is also responsible for muscle function and improves glucose absorption in the body.

Sweat

During exercise, we lose primarily salt through sweating, but also other electrolytes. To maintain optimal performance, we need to adequately replace these. Salt and sodium are very volatile, and stores can be depleted within a short period of time.

Salt concentration

The salt concentration in sweat can vary greatly from person to person, by more than a factor of 10. Typically, it ranges from approximately 200 mg of sodium to approximately 2500 mg per liter of sweat. Almost all sports drinks are at the lower end, so it makes sense to adjust them individually.

Salt deficiency

A lack of salt can lead to muscle cramps, fatigue, and an increased risk of heat stroke. Therefore, it's important to monitor your body's salt levels, even during physical activity.

Performance decline

During exercise, intense sweating can lead to significant fluid loss, which reduces blood volume. This leads to increased viscosity ("thickening") of the blood and impairs oxygen transport and thus performance.

Hyponatremia

If the body retains too much water and has too little salt available, this can lead to hyponatremia (sodium deficiency). This is when the sodium concentration in the blood drops due to insufficient electrolyte intake. Typical symptoms include headaches or dizziness. In severe cases, this can even lead to coma or death.

    FAQ

    What happens after I place my order?

    The most important steps at a glance:

    1. After ordering, you will receive your SWEAT TEST.
    2. Once you have received your test kit, you can take the test.
    3. You will find instructions enclosed in the bag and on the website.
    4. Send your welding sample back to the address provided in the enclosed envelope.
    5. A few days after your test, you will receive your results with concrete recommendations.

    Note: In most countries, the envelope is prepaid, including customs declaration. However, in some countries, this is not possible, and the buyer must arrange return shipping (shipping costs & customs declaration) via the website of the local provider, such as DHL.
    Customs declaration information: Sweat test with goods value 1 Euro, customs tariff number 3005.1000

    How do I get my results?

    You will receive a detailed evaluation of your test after the analysis via email or directly after logging in to the website

    How do I get further support?

    Sports nutrition is a complex and highly individual topic. Book a webinar or a one-on-one consultation to answer all your questions personally.

    Wie lange dauert die Auswertung?

    Nach Eingang der Probe wird diese in der Regel innerhalb von 48 Stunden analysiert und das Ergebnis zugeschickt. Je nach Land und Zollbestimmungen kann der Postversand zu uns jedoch bis zu 3 Wochen dauern. Darauf haben wir leider keinen Einfluss. Die längere Versanddauer beeinträchtigt das Analyseergebnis nicht.

    Wie lange dauert der Test?

    Die Testdauer beträgt je nach Temperatur und individuellem Schwitzverhalten ca. 1 Stunde, Entscheidend ist, dass sich das Pflaster auf der Innenseite durch den Schweiss sichtbar verfärbt. Dann wurde ausreichend Schweiss gesammelt. Der Test kann also auch länger dauern.

    Was misst der SWEAT TEST?

    Der Sweat Test misst die Natriumkonzentration in deinem Schweiss in mg/L. Damit erfährst du, wie viel Natrium du beim Schwitzen verlierst und kannst deine individuelle Flüssigkeits- und Elektrolytstrategie gezielt darauf abstimmen.

    Für wen ist ein Sweat Test sinnvoll?

    Ein Sweat Test ist besonders für Ausdauerathleten, Vielschwitzer und Sportler mit hohen Salzverlusten sinnvoll. Er hilft insbesondere bei langen Belastungen, Wettkämpfen bei Hitze oder wenn du deine Hydration und Elektrolytzufuhr individuell optimieren möchtest.

    Muss ich den Sweat Test bei Hitze durchführen?

    Nein. Der Test kann bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen durchgeführt werden. Wichtig ist vor allem, dass du ausreichend schwitzt, damit eine verwertbare Probe entsteht. Der Test kann deshalb auch während eines Indoor-Trainings durchgeführt werden.

    Kann ich den Sweat Test auf dem Laufband oder Indoor-Bike durchführen?

    Ja. Der Sweat Test kann problemlos indoor oder outdoor durchgeführt werden. Laufen und Radfahren eignen sich besonders gut. Entscheidend ist nicht die Sportart, sondern dass du während des Tests ausreichend ins Schwitzen kommst.
