Original data report · Canada · 2026
Canadian electrolyte index
The direct answer: on August 26, 2026, the SALTBLAST dataset contained 23 current Canada records and 1 historical or unavailable record. Across the current records, the median declared sodium was 276 mg per each product's own labelled serving. That is a label statistic—not an intake target, effectiveness score, or health recommendation.

Price snapshot
- Median container price

- Median per labelled serving
- $1.65

Evidence status
- Current label verified
- 12
- Current label with caveat
- 11
A caveat can mean conflicting pages, older retailer copy, an import, uncertain stock, or a value exposed mainly through an image. It is not a product-quality grade.
Formats represented
The sample mixes drink powders, fuels, tablets, chews, and capsules. That diversity is why serving-basis numbers should not be read as if every row represents the same use or prepared volume.
Current cohort
Canada records
“Current” means the dataset does not mark the label historical. “Canada” follows the dataset's availability flag; individual stock and import status remain visible.

How the index was calculated
- 1. Unit of analysisOne exact product variant on its recorded label basis—not a brand average and not necessarily one prepared litre.
- 2. Current cohortRecords where
availableInCanadais true anddataStatusis not historical. - 3. Medians and rangesNumeric values are sorted. An odd sample uses the centre value; an even sample averages the two centre values. Missing values are excluded per metric.
- 4. Price calculationPrice per labelled serving equals recorded CAD container price divided by recorded servings. No taxes, shipping, coupons, or serving adjustments are added.
Product numbers come from each row's linked manufacturer or primary label source. Price and availability observations come from separately linked Canadian-facing retailer pages. Read the broader SALTBLAST editorial method and the Canadian electrolyte label rules explainer for context.
Exact source index
Every record below links to the precise product, label, or retained primary page used. Where a price was captured, the Canadian-facing retailer or marketplace page is linked independently. A retailer link does not imply endorsement or continuous stock.

Limitations
- • This is a curated, non-random sample of exact variants in the SALTBLAST dataset. It is not a census of the Canadian market.
- • Products use different serving bases, preparation volumes, and purposes. Per-serving medians describe these records only.
- • A missing mineral, sugar, caffeine, price, or water value means it was not quantitatively captured; it is never converted to zero.
- • Labels, formulas, packaging, prices, stock, and import status can change after August 26, 2026. Check the delivered package and checkout page.
- • “Founder tested” and “Label researched” remain separate evidence states. This report does not imply that every product was purchased or used.
- • The report makes no conclusion about safety, effectiveness, hydration needs, or appropriate intake for any person or condition.
