Electrolyte Powder - Optimum Nutrition

Electrolyte Powder is an electrolyte drink designed for times when you sweat heavily. Sweating also causes the body to lose minerals known as electrolytes, and this drink helps you replenish them.

Each 8 g serving contains 400 mg of sodium, 300 mg of potassium, 121 mg of calcium and 113 mg of magnesium. Magnesium provides 30% of the reference intake (RI), while potassium and calcium each provide 15% of the RI. The drink contains no sugar, making it suitable for a diet.

Thanks to its magnesium content, it contributes to electrolyte balance and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. Potassium and calcium both contribute to normal muscle function. The product is also regularly tested for microbiological purity in an independent laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, and its production meets the BRC Global Standard for Food.

The lemon flavor has the shortest ingredient list of the three and is flavored only with citric acid.

Orange and forest fruit also contain malic acid in addition to citric acid, while red beet concentrate gives them their color.

All three are sweetened with sucralose and colored with riboflavin, or vitamin B2, which is used in food as a yellow coloring.

What you will not find in them, however, are azo dyes. These are a group of synthetic colorings that must carry a warning that they may adversely affect children’s attention.

• Before exercise, to replenish your minerals in advance.
• During a long workout, such as strenuous physical activity where you sweat for several hours at a time.
• After exercise, when your body needs to replace what it has lost.
• And also in hot weather, when working outdoors or after a sauna, because athletes are not the only ones who sweat.
