Zone Caps can be used on their own to replace electrolytes only (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium), for use with shorter events where carbohydrates are not desired. However, once one starts to pass the one hour mark in an activity, supplementing with carbohydrates in addition to electrolytes becomes an important consideration-see e load, FLY, Energy Gel, eDISCS and EMEND for more information on our carbohydrate containing endurance/recovery products.
Zone Caps are purposely made with a small dose of electrolytes in them, allowing the user to add more if needed, much like medication is prescribed at the smallest doses first and worked up from there.
Figure out your hydration requirements. See our Fluid Calculator for help.
For each 1.5 oz/50 ml of fluid, ingest one Zone Cap. Together in these amounts, they will approximate the concentration of electrolytes found in e load.
Dear Dr. Stoddard:
As defending Rowing World Champions, my teammates and I are training hard to win again this summer in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Training more than thirty hours per week means that fluid intake and electrolyte replacement is key to maintaining our intensity on the water. E load has been a big part of our winter training, and will be a real asset when we go into the heat of the Beijing Olympics this summer.

Congratulations to the Canadian Men's 8 Rowing 2008 Olympic Gold Champions fueled by e load!
