PH 1000 scores well because the sodium concentration is explicit, the intended context is clear and a certifier entry exists. Its strength is also its limitation: 1.000 mg/L can be appropriate for substantial sweat and sodium losses, but “more electrolytes” is not automatically better.
Score breakdown
| Area | Finding | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Formulation | Clear high-sodium electrolyte purpose | 23 / 25 |
| Transparency | Concentration stated per litre | 20 / 20 |
| Laboratory verification | Informed Sport product entry | 18 / 20 |
| Safety | Use case and mixing direction are visible | 14 / 15 |
| Company reliability | Specialist label with traceable records | 8 / 10 |
| Value | Premium and unnecessary for many sessions | 7 / 10 |
Formula and label
Mixed as directed, the product supplies 1.000 mg sodium per litre with low carbohydrate. That makes it primarily an electrolyte tool, not a meaningful endurance fuel. Individual sweat sodium varies widely, so the number should guide comparison rather than imply a universal requirement.
Laboratory and certification trail
Informed Sport lists PH 1000 Drink Mix. The programme tests batches for banned substances. It does not validate the brand’s personalised hydration algorithm or prove that this concentration is correct for every athlete.
Company accountability
Precision makes sodium concentration unusually easy to compare. The audit rewards that label clarity and external product entry, not official-partner status.
Where this fits
Most defensible for prolonged exercise, heat or athletes with known high sodium losses. For ordinary gym training or short runs, water and normal meals often cover the task at far lower cost.
Limits and update trigger
No sweat test, clinical assessment or purchased-lot assay. Fluid and sodium decisions must be individualised.
Evidence register
Source rule: Manufacturer pages establish the current label and company claims. Independent directories establish only the certification, product, region and batches they actually list. Popularity, awards and affiliate economics add zero points.
