"I stopped cramping mid-race for the first time. Dosing based on conditions rather than a fixed serve size changed everything."
Built for athletes who lose sodium fast.
A 345mg precision-dosed sodium capsule. Taken with any fluid. Adjusted for your physiology — not the average.
New to Lytework? →The capsule isn't new.
The system around it is.
Lytework was built by an Australian endurance coach and a network of competitive athletes who lose sodium at radically different rates. So we built something that adapts.
Read the SALT framework →Sodium, separated from your drink.
Dose by session, not by serve. Adjust for heat, not for taste. Stack what you need — capsule by capsule.

Sodium, dosed not guessed
For years, Nick's limiter wasn't fitness — it was his gut. Race after race his stomach shut down: cramping, unable to take on another carb, unable to hold another sip of fluid. The engine was never the problem. Working alongside his nutrition team, we traced it to a single variable. Sodium. He wasn't replacing what he was sweating out, and everything downstream paid for it.
In Cairns the plan was simple: control sodium on its own, separate from fuel and fluid. On the bike Nick took six Lytework capsules — 345mg each — alongside the salt already in his drink. Just over two grams, dosed deliberately, not guessed. This time his stomach held. He rode clear inside 20km and never handed the lead back. His words after the line: “Not as many stomach issues.”
Lytework launches later this year.

"No flavour fatigue is a real thing. After three hours of training I could still take these — something I couldn't do with electrolyte drinks."
These results came from athletes who tested in real conditions.

03 — Origin
"I raced Ironman Malaysia as a professional and fell apart at hour three. Not from lack of fitness. From sodium."
Lytework was founded by Jonathan Sammut, a former Australian representative triathlete and head coach to more than 150 endurance athletes through Ogging. The product exists because the one he needed — as athlete, then as coach — did not.
The capsule format isn't a gimmick. It's the only honest answer to a problem the industry has refused to acknowledge: athletes lose sodium at radically different rates, and a one-dose drink mix cannot serve all of them.
04 — The system
Sodium is one variable. Hydration is another. They should be dosed separately.
Most products lock sodium into the drink. One formula, one dose, regardless of your sweat rate, the heat, or how long you're out. Lytework starts from the opposite premise.
Traditional hydration
- Sodium locked into every serve
- Fixed dose, no adjustment for heat
- Based on average assumptions
- Adjusting sodium means changing fluid
The Lytework system
- Sodium separated from fluid
- Dose per session, not per bottle
- Built around individual physiology
- Works alongside any fuel strategy
