High-sodium electrolytes in Canada
The direct answer: our current Canadian-facing dataset contains 9 exact products that reach at least 800 mg sodium per litre somewhere in their directed mixing range. 8 stay at or above that comparison threshold across the full directed range; 1 depend on using the lower directed water volume.
Same question, comparable denominator
Sodium concentration by exact directions
Per-serving sodium remains visible because serving and bottle size are different questions. Ranges are preserved rather than collapsed into a convenient single number.

Consistently above the page threshold
The full directed range matters
8 records remain at or above 800 mg/L even at their highest directed water volume. This is the cleanest group for readers specifically comparing concentrated labels.
Dilution-dependent records
One packet can produce a range
1 record cross the threshold only at the lower end of the directed water range. Adding more water lowers concentration without changing sodium in the labelled serving.

Direct answers
High-sodium electrolyte FAQ
What counts as a high-sodium electrolyte on this page?
For this comparison only, SALTBLAST includes a product when its exact label directions produce at least 800 milligrams of sodium per litre at some point in the directed water range. This is an editorial comparison threshold, not an intake recommendation or medical definition.
Which Canadian electrolyte in the table has the highest sodium concentration?
The answer depends on the exact product and directed dilution. The table separates products that remain at or above 800 milligrams per litre across their full directed range from products that reach the threshold only when mixed with less water.
Is a higher sodium number always better?
No. Sodium concentration is one label fact, not a quality score. Food, fluid, session conditions, personal sweat loss, health context, and product directions all matter.
Why are capsules and chews not in the concentration table?
A prepared-drink concentration requires a fixed or ranged label-directed water volume. SALTBLAST does not invent one for capsules, chews, or products whose directions do not support the calculation.
