Energy + Electrolytes in 1 Gel (500mg sodium)
210mg potassium + 35mg magnesium per gel
Near 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio for fast absorption
Only 2 whole-food ingredients (Original)
No maltodextrin, no artificial anything

Salty Dates is a whole-food energy gel with 500mg sodium -- real energy and real electrolytes in one packet. Most gels give you 100mg sodium and a lab-made ingredient list, then make you buy a separate electrolyte.

Organic date syrup delivers a near 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio for fast, steady absorption -- plus naturally occurring potassium and magnesium. Mineral-rich sea salt adds 500mg sodium with 90+ trace minerals. Just ingredients humans have fueled on for thousands of years

The Science

Date syrup delivers free glucose and fructose through dual intestinal transporters (SGLT1 and GLUT5), maximizing carbohydrate absorption while minimizing gut distress. Each gel provides 500mg sodium, 210mg potassium, and 35mg magnesium from whole-food sources. Read the peer-reviewed research →

2 Ingredients do the work of 15

Most energy gels need 10-15 ingredients to deliver what dates and sea salt do naturally -- fast energy, 500mg sodium, and the minerals you lose in sweat. No maltodextrin, no artificial anything, no separate electrolyte product. Just whole food doing what it's done for thousands of years.

Our Promise To You

No Maltodextrin
No Artificial Ingredients
No Refined Sugars
No Synthetic Electrolytes
No Preservatives

Ancient Fuel
Date syrup — known as d'vash -- has fueled humans across the Middle East and North Africa for thousands of years. The naturally occurring sugar profile delivers a near 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, which research shows maximizes carbohydrate absorption and minimizes gut distress. Nature's energy gel, long before anyone invented maltodextrin.

Complete Electrolytes
When you sweat, you don't just lose sodium — you lose potassium, magnesium, calcium, and more. Each gel delivers 500mg sodium from Baja Gold sea salt, plus 210mg potassium, 35mg magnesium, and 20mg calcium from the combination of dates and sea salt. Two whole foods delivering the full electrolyte profile that most gels need separate supplements to match.

2 in 1
Most brands sell you an energy gel and a separate electrolyte product. Different packets, different purchases, different ingredient lists.
Salty Dates is both -- real fuel and real electrolytes in one packet, from 2 ingredients. Less to carry, less to buy, less to think about.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use Salty Dates?

Two ways: tear the top and squeeze it straight into your mouth, or squeeze a packet into a water bottle and shake it up to make an energy and electrolyte drink. Use 1-2 gels per hour during intense exercise — Salty Dates is designed for sweaty efforts lasting longer than an hour. Start fueling early rather than waiting until you feel depleted.

How does Salty Dates absorb during exercise?

Date syrup delivers free glucose and fructose — not bound in fiber like whole dates. These simple sugars absorb through both the SGLT1 and GLUT5 intestinal transporters, the same dual-transporter mechanism used in modern sports nutrition research to maximize carbohydrate uptake. The approximately 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio in date syrup naturally activates both pathways.

What is the texture of Salty Dates energy gel?

Salty Dates has a liquid, pourable consistency — thinner and runnier than most energy gels on the market. Date syrup is not whole dates. The fiber is largely removed during processing, resulting in a smooth, thin liquid with no thickeners, gelling agents, or gums added.

How many carbs are in Salty Dates and how carb-dense is it?

23 grams of carbohydrates per 31-gram packet (Original) and 22 grams per 33-gram packet (Chocolate) — roughly 74% carbohydrate by weight. This makes Salty Dates one of the most carb-dense energy gels available. All carbohydrates come from a single whole-food source: date syrup.

How much sodium is in one Salty Dates gel?

500 milligrams of sodium per gel from sea salt. This is significantly higher than most energy gels, which typically contain 50 to 150 milligrams. The built-in electrolytes can reduce or eliminate the need for separate sodium supplements during endurance events.

How much potassium and magnesium is in each gel?

Each Original gel contains 210mg potassium and 35mg magnesium. Each Chocolate gel contains 250mg potassium and 50mg magnesium (the cacao adds extra minerals). Plus 20mg calcium and trace amounts of iron in both. All minerals occur naturally in the date syrup and sea salt — nothing is added or fortified.
