Customizing Your eLoad
Customizing your e load ™
Sweat electrolyte concentration increases proportionate to sweat rate, and the e load™ customization system is founded on this principle.
For starters, it is important that you strictly follow the e load™ mixing instructions found on the label. NEVER USE more e load™ powder AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR ZONE CAPS™ . Adding more e load™ than the instructions advise will result in a drink that is too sweet and that has too much flavoring, a sure recipe for nausea and vomiting when you are pushing yourself. Finally, don't let the small size of the ZONE CAPS™ fool you - they pack a punch from an Electrolyte and MulitCitrate™ point of view.
Customizing is an easy three - step process, summarized by the following equation:
| Temperature | + | Sweat Profile | = | Customized Formula |
| (Step 1) | | (Step 2) | | (Step 3) |
Step 1: Temperature
What is the temperature range in which you be be training / competing?
| Training Conditions |
| Temperature Range | Zone |
| < 60° F/16° C | Low |
| 60°-75° F/16°-23° C | Medium |
| > 75° F/23° C | High |
Fahrenheit = F
Celsius = C
Step 2: Sweat Profile
Using the chart below, determine which Sweat Profile, Light, Medium or Heavy, is the best reflection of you:
| Sweat Profile |
| Sweat Profile | Characteristics |
| Light | - You are comfortable both at rest and while exerting in the heat
- Hot weather rarely bothers you-in fact, you prefer it
- You barely break a sweat with exertion in the heat
|
| Medium | - You tolerate heat relatively well at rest, but exertion in the heat may be challenging
- You dampen your clothing with exertion in the heat
- You rarely salt stain your clothing
|
| Heavy | - In the heat, you may feel uncomfortable at rest, and exerting yourself is very challenging
- You prefer more moderate temperatures
- You soak your clothing with exertion in the heat
- You frequently have salt stains on your workout gear

Step 3: Customized Formula
Once you have figured out the temperature and your sweat profile, you can mix your e load™ and customize your drink to match. It's that easy!
The following table summarizes this step:
ZONE CAPSTM can be swallowed whole or broken open and poured into your e load™.
