- Are Electrolytes For You?
Our electrolytes powder is suitable for you if you tick any of these boxes:
- You've had enough of sports drinks that contain sugar, artificial sweeteners or artificial flavours, and you're looking for an all-natural alternative to maximise hydration
- You want to enhance your exercise performance and recovery by replenishing key electrolytes lost in sweat
- You're on a ketogenic diet
- You want a supplement that helps prevent muscle cramps and spasms that occur due to electrolyte imbalances
what are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that, when dissolved in water, get a positive or negative electric charge. They are crucial for a variety of bodily functions, including maintaining a proper balance of fluids in and out of cells, muscle contractions, and nerve signalling.
The human body needs electrolytes —including sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium — in order to function properly. Our electrolytes powder contains all these key electrolytes.
Electrolytes imbalances and deficiencies can occur due to sweating, insufficient diets, vomiting, diarrhea, and alcohol consumption.
Benefits of our complex
-
OPTIMISED HYDRATION
Electrolytes play a critical role in ensuring adequate water absorption at the cellular level, thus helping to maintain the balance of water in and outside of cells, tissues, and organs, especially during and after physical exertion or illness.
When dissolved in water, electrolytes aid in retaining and distributing water throughout the body.
Electrolytes also support hydration by helping balance the body's acid/base (pH) level, and aiding in the transport of nutrients into cells and moving wastes out of them. -
ENHANCED EXERCISE PERFORMANCE
Electrolytes are critical for muscle contractions and nerve signal transmissions. When you sweat, your body loses fluids along with various electrolytes. Their replenishment can enhance athletic performance by ensuring proper muscle function, reducing fatigue, and preventing muscle cramps. They also support the maintenance of a regular heartbeat and prevent overheating.
A deficiency or imbalance in these electrolytes can disrupt the electrical signals that control muscle contractions, leading to muscle cramps. -
KETO-FRIENDLY
Individuals on a ketogenic diet often experience an increased loss of electrolytes, especially in the initial stages when the body is adjusting to burning fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. This can lead to symptoms commonly referred to as the "keto flu," which includes headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue.
Traditional sources of electrolytes, like certain fruits, are restricted on the keto diet due to their carbohydrate content. A keto-friendly electrolyte powder provides a convenient way to replenish these essential minerals without adding extra carbs. -
Improved Recovery
By aiding in rehydration and proper muscle function, our electrolytes powder supports quicker recovery and helps alleviate muscle cramps and fatigue post-exercise.
-
Natural Ingredients
Our electrolytes powder only contains natural ingredients. The natural flavouring is made from real oranges, and the natural sweetener is from a plant called stevia, unlike standard sports hydration drinks, which generally contain sugar, artificial flavouring or artificial sweeteners.
THE KEY ELECTROLYTES NEEDED FOR OPTIMUM HYDRATION, PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY
Our electrolytes powder contains the key electrolytes for optimum hydration, performance and recovery: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium
SPORTS DRINKS VS. NATURAL ELECTROLYTES
Sports drinks often contain too much sugar, artificial ingredients or not enough minerals like potassium, meaning that they're not very effective at replenishing and balancing electrolytes in the body. Unlike sports hydration drinks, our electrolytes powder does not contain any sugar, artificial sweeteners or artifical flavouring, and has been scientifically formulated to optimise hydration and electrolyte replenishment.

What causes low potassium in the body?
- Diets lacking adequate amounts of green vegetables, fresh meat, and fish, or containing refined carbohydrates and sugar
- Sweating, either from exercise or the climate
- Vomiting and diarrhea
- Sugar (as found in many standard electrolyte sports drinks)
- Alcohol
Low potassium in the body can cause the following:
- Muscle weakness, cramps, and spasms
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Fatigue
- Digestive issues
How to use
-
6.5 grams dissolved in water
Take 6.5g (roughly half a scoop) of electrolytes powder dissolved in 500mL of water. More water can be added to adjust the taste to your preference.
-
Before, During or After Exercise
The electrolytes can be taken before, during or after exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in water. They are crucial for a variety of bodily functions, including maintaining fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signaling. The key electrolytes include sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.
-
What happens if I don't have enough electrolytes?
A deficiency in electrolytes can lead to a variety of issues, such as muscle cramps, fatigue, weakness and confusion.
-
Are electrolyte supplements necessary?
Electrolyte supplements can benefit athletes, individuals with an electrolyte imbalance, those who sweat excessively, people with insufficient diets, individuals experiencing diarrhea or vomiting, and those following a ketogenic diet.
-
Can I take this supplement if I suffer from high blood pressure?
Electrolytes can impact blood pressure. Anyone with high blood pressure should consult a medical professional before use.
-
Are sports drinks a good source of electrolytes?
Whilst most electrolyte drinks contain small amounts of electrolytes, they often contain high levels of sugar or artificial ingredients, so it's better to buy natural powders to dissolve in water for optimum benefit.
-
Which minerals are considered electrolytes?
Sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are considered to be the primary electrolytes found in the body.
-
Can certain medications affect electrolyte levels?
Yes, certain medications can affect electrolyte levels. Diuretics, for example, can lead to the loss of electrolytes like potassium and sodium. It's important to discuss with a healthcare provider if you are on medications that might affect electrolyte levels.
