Who PH Electrolyte Capsules suits
Heavy sweaters, long hot races, and anyone whose shirt dries with white salt lines. 250 mg per serving is a meaningful replacement dose.
Runners fueling carbs from gels or chews who want electrolytes they can dose independently of energy.

How to use it in a race
Dose by sweat rate, not by the packet. Heavy sweaters in heat may need 500 to 1000 mg of sodium per hour, which at 250 mg per serving is 3 servings an hour as a middle estimate.
Take it with water, and take it on a schedule from the first hour rather than waiting for cramps or a headache. Sodium has no effect on cramping, but it does keep you drinking and keeps plasma volume up.
Servings per hour assume the 0 g per serving on the label. The finder sets your own g/hr target from race distance, sweat and gut.
