Product details
Where this label sits
Propel Powder Packets is one of the hydration mixes in the Scoop Sense database. The label uses at least one proprietary blend, so a blend total stands in place of the individual amounts inside it. It runs 50 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Sodium · 260 mg. Sodium supports normal fluid balance and is the main electrolyte in this formula.
- Potassium · 80 mg. Potassium supports normal muscle and nerve function alongside sodium.
- Vitamin C & E blend · with B3, B5, B6, B12. Added vitamins support normal energy metabolism; they are not electrolytes themselves.
Flavors & sweetener
Available in Berry, Grape, Lemon, Kiwi-Strawberry, and Mango, all zero-sugar and sweetened with acesulfame potassium and sucralose.
Who it's best for
Everyday training and moderate sweat losses — a middling sodium load. Skip it if you want every individual dose disclosed on the label. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Sodium per litre440 mg
At or above the studied amount0studied range 300 mg–700 mg2000 mg
260 mg per serving mixed into 591 ml is about 440 mg per litre. Sports-nutrition guidance puts sodium somewhere between about 230 and 1100 mg per litre of fluid for sustained sweating, depending on which body is writing — 300–700 mg per litre sits inside every version of it. Higher-sodium mixes are built for heavy sweat losses, not for casual sipping.
Source: Mosler et al., German Journal of Sports Medicine 2020 (DGE position) — “the optimal sports drink should contain 400-1100 mg / l sodium in addition to carbohydrates (4-8%)”
One or more amounts on this label sit inside a proprietary blend, so the individual doses behind the blend total cannot be compared at all.
Common questions about Propel Powder Packets
How much sodium is in Propel Powder Packets?
260 mg per serving, with no sugar. Sodium is the main electrolyte lost in sweat, but needs vary widely with sweat rate and diet — and daily sodium from food counts toward the same total.
What does the proprietary blend in Propel Powder Packets hide?
The Vitamin C & E blend lists with B3, B5, B6, B12 as a combined total. A blend total tells you the sum of its ingredients, not the individual doses inside it — which is why blend entries can't be checked against studied amounts.
