Nature's Collab
Two ancient ingredients, one clean source of carbs and pure electrolytes for daily movement and performance.
Across a celebrated AFL career, Buddy Franklin ran on the same artificial gels, powders and drinks as every athlete around him. They did the job. But somewhere across the seasons, a quieter question took hold, what would something genuinely natural actually look like?
The search led Buddy home. Becoming an owner of Honey For Life reconnected him with the raw, cold-extracted, bioactive honey of Western Australia's south-west, used as natural energy and medicinally for centuries.
Sodii was already on its own mission, moving people past the instinct to fear salt, toward using it as a tool for performance and wellbeing. Built on the clean mineral profile of Ancient Lake Salt and a promise of nothing but the essentials, it was only ever a matter of time before Sodii looked beyond hydration.
Raw Marri honey and Lake Deborah salt, two ingredients from the same corner of the country, each exceptional in its own right. Honey For Life and Sodii joined forces to celebrate that shared provenance, and got to work on Raw Electrolyte Honey: a natural energy and electrolyte gel made from nothing more than what the land already provides.
What's inside?
Sourced from the ancient Marri forests of Western Australia's south west, this bioactive TA35+ honey is 100% raw and cold extracted, rich in antioxidants, enzymes and antibacterial activity. A real, whole food carb your gut recognises.
Sourced from Lake Deborah, an ancient Western Australian salt lake. Naturally harvested, free from heavy metals and pollutants, and rich in trace minerals, supporting real hydration.
Sourced from potassium chloride, a natural, absorbable form of potassium found in food. It partners with sodium to balance fluid levels and keep nerve and muscle function running smoothly.
From magnesium gluconate, an absorbable, gut friendly form, necessary for normal electrolyte balance and normal nerve and muscle function.
Two ancient ingredients from nature
Sourced, Not Synthesised
Natural fuel and electrolytes to support endurance and daily performance.
Built to move with you, not sit in your stomach. Fuel that performs like it's supposed to, like it always has.
Hour 3 feels different to hour one. When the wheels start coming off, you need fuel your gut still trusts. Raw honey and real electrolytes, built to go the distance with you.
No aid station in sight, no easing off. Just elevation, exposure, and you. Pack it, forget it's there, and it's there when you need it. Fast absorbing natural carbs and considered minerals.
Multi-day. Multi-terrain. When you're slowing down, you need a fuel as natural as the surroundings. Raw, bioactive, built from the ancient ground up, to keep the adventure going.
No crash, no bloat, no artificial hit you don't need. Just clean carbs and electrolytes create the perfect pre workout.
Each sachet contains 25g of carbohydrates, coming from 31g of raw Western Australian Marri honey. This gives you a natural fuel source with the added benefits of bioactive raw honey.
It's recommended to consume alongside water, either before or after, though this is a recommendation rather than a requirement. Each Raw Electrolyte Honey sachet contains 400mg sodium, 210mg potassium and 70mg magnesium. Consuming it with water allows these electrolytes to combine with the fluid, helping the body hold onto it for better hydration.
Everyone loses a different amount of sodium during exercise, but a rough guide is around 1000mg of sodium per hour of intense exercise. Each Raw Electrolyte Honey sachet delivers 400mg of sodium, which works well for someone who just wants one gel pre exercise, but also compounds out nicely for those chasing higher targets. For athletes fuelling towards 90g of carbs per hour, that generally means using around 3 to 4 gels, which lands you slightly over that 1000mg sodium mark too. As always, fuel with what works for you and what you can digest best.
Sodii is made in Australia, with our office and warehouse based in Adelaide, South Australia.
We use pure Lake Deborah salt from Western Australia. This 5-million-year-old inland salt lake is free from modern contaminants and naturally rich in trace minerals, making it one of the highest quality salts available in Australia.
All our electrolyte and honey products, including Unflavoured versions, are HASTA™ tested and confirmed free from banned substances under WADA. You can check certifications through the Sports Integrity Australia app.
We offer a 100% refund guarantee for any reason, including if you do not like the taste or feel it does not make a difference to your day-to-day wellbeing.

We will arrange a replacement or refund where appropriate.
Many gels are engineered to a set ratio, around 0.8:1 fructose to glucose, to use both sugar absorption pathways in the gut (glucose via SGLT1, fructose via GLUT5). Raw Electrolyte Honey uses real, raw Marri honey instead of a lab formulated blend, so our ratio comes from nature, sitting closer to 2.2:1 fructose to glucose. It's still a glucose and fructose combination, so it still opens both absorption pathways. Studies show that honey has consistently matched engineered gels on blood glucose levels, carbohydrate oxidation rates and performance outcomes. Many athletes also find raw honey easier on the gut than fast acting, artificial gels. Our ratio may not match an engineered number, but sometimes the best performance comes from being able to perform, not from being under stress in the first place.
The honey is sourced from Honey For Life's Western Australian producers, drawn from the pristine Marri forests of the state's south west. The flowering Marri Eucalyptus is one of six forest giants endemic to this region, growing nowhere else in the world. These ancient forests give the honey its distinct character and place it firmly in Western Australia, a landscape as unique as the honey it produces.
We love maple syrup, don't get us wrong. It's a great natural fuel source. We just love the extra benefits that a bioactive raw honey can bring to the table when it comes to fuelling. Because it's raw, our honey retains natural enzymes and trace minerals that are lost when something is pasteurised. It's not just a carb source, it's a more complete, functional ingredient. Honey is also naturally a thicker consistency, which means we don't need to add anything to thicken it up. That keeps the ingredient list simple, all natural and makes it easy to consume on the go. Being based in Australia, we also have access to some of the best honey in the world right on our doorstep. Maple syrup has to be shipped in from overseas, while our honey is sourced locally from Western Australia, so we get it at its freshest and most bioactive.
Electrolytes, especially sodium, are essential for hydration and performance. They help the body retain fluid, support muscle function and replace what's lost through sweat. Pairing them with honey means you're fuelling and getting electrolytes in one simple step.
Exactly how it sounds, delicious raw honey combined with a subtle salty note. It's a natural, real taste rather than an artificial one, letting the honey and Lake Deborah salt shine.
Absolutely. For those who tolerate other gels well, Raw Electrolyte Honey can be combined with other gels if needed. For athletes trying to fuel towards 90g of carbs per hour, pairing one or two Raw Electrolyte Honey with other carb gels over the hour is a great way to hit that target, while still getting a portion of your fuel from a more natural, gut friendly source. As always, use what works and digests well for you.
Because it gives you exactly what you need and nothing you don't. No artificial flavours, no colours, no lab built carbohydrates that can upset the stomach, just real fuel and minerals designed to support performance.
