Frequently asked questions
Whether you're wondering about electrolyte capsules, energy & endurance capsules, shipping, or how to get the most from Dusky, you'll find the answers here. If not, get in touch - we're always happy to help.
Why capsules instead of powdered electrolytes?
Most electrolyte products rely on powders that need mixing or sports drinks loaded with sugar. Dusky capsules are made for hunters, divers and anyone who wants a lightweight, mess-free way to stay hydrated. Just take them with water and keep moving.
What is Dusky?
Dusky makes clean electrolyte capsules and energy capsules designed for hunters, divers, hikers, anglers and anyone who spends long days outdoors.
What makes Dusky different?
Dusky products are capsule-based, sugar-free and made without unnecessary fillers or artificial colours. They're built for real outdoor adventures where carrying less and performing more matters.
Do you ship New Zealand-wide?
Yes. Dusky ships throughout New Zealand. We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
Where are Dusky products made?
Dusky products are proudly developed and made here in New Zealand with a focus on quality ingredients, performance, and real-world use in demanding environments.
Are Dusky products suitable for everyday use?
Yes. Dusky products are designed to support everyday hydration, energy, and performance — whether you're working outdoors, training, travelling, or staying active day to day. If you have any medical conditions, are pregnant, or are taking medication, we recommend checking with a healthcare professional before use.
Are Dusky products suitable for hunting and diving?
Absolutely. Hunting and diving are the reason Dusky exists. Our capsule-based hydration and energy products were designed for long days on the hill, in the water, and everywhere in between. Lightweight, easy to carry, and simple to use, they're built for situations where traditional sports drinks and powders aren't practical. Whether you're chasing a stag, spending hours in the ocean, or heading out on a multi-day mission, Dusky is designed to help support hydration, endurance, focus, and performance when it matters most.
What's the difference between the Day Pack and Multi-Day Pack?
The Day Pack contains one day's supply of Dusky capsules (4 Electrolytes and 2 Energy & Endurance) and is perfect for a single hunt, dive, workout, or day on the tools. The Multi-Day Pack contains 10 individual Day Packs, giving you everything you need for longer trips, multi-day missions, or to keep stocked up and ready to go.
What is the most effective hydration supplement?
The most effective hydration supplements replace the key electrolytes your body loses through sweat—particularly sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Capsules are one of the most convenient and efficient ways to take electrolytes. Unlike powders and sports drinks, there's no mixing, measuring, added sugar, or need to carry extra liquid. Simply take them with water whenever and wherever you need them. Dusky Electrolytes deliver essential electrolytes in a lightweight, easy-to-carry capsule form, making them ideal for hunting, diving, training, travel, and long days outdoors when convenience and performance matter most.
Do hydration supplements actually work?
Yes. Hydration supplements work by replacing the electrolytes your body loses through sweat, helping to support hydration, muscle function, and endurance. When you're spending long hours outdoors, training hard, or working in hot conditions, replenishing key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium can help reduce fatigue, support performance, and keep you feeling your best. Dusky Electrolytes provide these essential minerals in a convenient capsule form—without the sugar, artificial colours, or flavourings found in many traditional sports drinks.
Are Dusky Electrolytes the same as the Energy & Endurance capsules?
No. While both are designed to help you perform at your best, they serve different purposes. Dusky Electrolytes are formulated to support hydration, muscle function, and endurance by replacing essential electrolytes lost through sweat. Energy & Endurance capsules are designed to support sustained energy, focus, and performance with a blend of natural energy ingredients. Many people choose to use them together—hydration from Electrolytes and clean, sustained support from Energy & Endurance—for the ultimate combination on long days outdoors.
