So at this time, I’m firmly in the “the app is probably right, damnit” camp

I am also in this camp quite often, ironically.

My non scientific method is, start by going with the total sodium suggested in the app. If you have to pee more than once in the middle of the ride, bump it up. Using sodium citrate is probably safer as it won’t cause gut distress as quickly as table salt will.

Great advice.

@Dr_Alex_Harrison how do you know you’re using too much Sodium Citrate? Same symptoms? gut distress? Will table salt cause that at a lesser dose?

Yep, same symptoms. Usually lower GI issues, rumbling, need for the loo. Yeah, table salt will cause that at a lower sodium-per-hour intake rate.
