Composition and benefits of this electrolyte drink
What is an electrolyte drink?
An electrolyte drink is one that contains electrolytes, i.e. minerals such as sodium, potassium or magnesium, which are naturally present in the body and circulate in the form of charged particles (ions) (1).
Electrolytes :
- enable the transmission of nerve signals and muscular contraction, two essential functions during exercise and when the body returns to equilibrium;
- also play a key role in managing water within the body, by helping to absorb it and distribute it correctly within the cells through osmosis (water moves towards mineral-rich areas to rebalance their concentrations). Electrolytes thus help to keep cells well hydrated and therefore more functional, particularly muscle cells (2).
In short, electrolyte drinks are appreciated for their ability to provide high quantities of electrolytes, to help hydration, physical capacity and recovery.
What does our electrolyte drink contain and what are its effects?
Our electrolyte formula contains 12 choice ingredients to hydrate you on a daily basis, support your performance and your return to equilibrium after physical activity:
5 minerals: 4 electrolytes and 1 cofactor
- potassium citrate: potassium is a mineral which contributes to the normal functioning of muscles by regulating the flow of ions across cell membranes, which is essential for muscle contraction. It also helps maintain normal blood pressure by adjusting the water balance and modulating vascular tone. It is a major electrolyte (3). It is present here in the form of potassium citrate, a form that is well assimilated and tolerated;
- calcium citrate: calcium is a mineral which also contributes to normal muscle function, by playing a direct role in muscle contraction mechanisms. This other electrolyte contributes to normal energy metabolism through its involvement in the cellular processes involved in energy production (4). Once again, we have opted for the highly bioavailable citrate form;
- Sodium citrate: sodium is a key mineral, the main constituent of salt, involved in regulating water balance and extracellular volumes. It acts in particular by controlling the exchange of water and ions between the body's compartments. It is a key electrolyte, particularly required in the event of perspiration or significant water loss (5). It is available in this product in the form of sodium citrate, which is easily assimilated, with a content that is deliberately controlled compared to the often excessively high quantities found in other electrolyte drinks. In fact, sodium is generally already provided in excess by the modern, highly salty diet;
- Magnesium bisglycinate: magnesium is a mineral that contributes to normal muscle function by playing a part in muscle contraction and relaxation mechanisms. It also contributes to normal energy metabolism and fatigue reduction by supporting the production of cellular energy. It plays a major role in the body's electrolyte balance (6). We have chosen magnesium bisglycinate, an ultra-bioavailable form that is generally well tolerated;
- and zinc bisglycinate: zinc is a trace element that does not play a direct role in electrolyte balance. This cofactor completes the formula for its involvement in the body's recovery and adaptation mechanisms, as it contributes to normal protein synthesis, protection against oxidative stress and the normal functioning of the immune system (7). Here again, we have selected the bisglycinate form, which is easily absorbed.
Coconut water powder
Coconut is a tropical fruit whose water is naturally rich in minerals, particularly potassium.
It is therefore a great source of natural electrolytes, supplementing mineral intake and helping to maintain good hydration (8).
6 vitamins
- vitamin B1 (thiamine HCl): vitamin B1 is an essential vitamin that plays a key role in converting nutrients into energy. It complements the action of electrolytes by contributing to a normal energy metabolism, essential for supporting your performance (9). It is present here in the form of thiamine HCl, a stable, highly assimilable form;
- vitamin B2 (riboflavin): vitamin B2 is also involved in energy production and helps to reduce effort-related fatigue, for prolonged performance (10). It is used here in its pure riboflavin form, which can be directly absorbed by the body;
- vitamin B3 (nicotinamide): an anti-fatigue agent, vitamin B3 is essential for maintaining your energy levels on a daily basis (11). Here we have chosen nicotinamide, a form renowned for its perfect tolerance and excellent absorption;
- vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl): vitamin B6 is essential for protein metabolism and reducing fatigue. It ideally complements the formula by supporting the normal functioning of the nervous system during exercise (12). It is present in the form of pyridoxine HCl, a stable, bioavailable molecule;
- vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin): vitamin B12 is crucial for energy metabolism and reducing fatigue. It is also involved in the normal formation of red blood cells, which are essential for transporting oxygen in the blood (13). We have chosen methylcobalamin, a coenzyme form that is directly active and better retained by the body;
- and vitamin C (ascorbic acid): another major support for energy metabolism, vitamin C helps to reduce fatigue, protect cells against oxidative stress induced by stress or sport, and contributes to a normal immune system (14). We are using ascorbic acid here, the form that has been most extensively studied and is most directly assimilated by the body.
5 key points and reasons to buy our electrolytes with no added sugar
Hydration Electrolytes Formula has 5 strong points:
- an electrolyte formula with no added sugars or excess sodium: unlike many electrolyte drinks on the market, which are often rich in sugars and sodium, our formula has no added sugars and a moderate sodium content to help maintain your physiological balance.Modern diets already contain too much sugar and salt;
- ultra-bioavailable forms of minerals: our formula is based on citrates (potassium, sodium, calcium) and bisglycinates (magnesium, zinc), forms recognised for their high absorption capacity and digestive tolerance;
- a powerful dosage, based on available data: each sachet provides high quantities of electrolytes in line with the body's needs, determined according to the most advanced scientific studies;
- a complete formula combining electrolytes, coconut water and co-factors (zinc, vitamins): as well as minerals, our formula includes rehydrating coconut water powder. It also contains essential co-factors such as zinc, certain B-group vitamins and vitamin C, to offer a more holistic approach than formulas limited to electrolytes alone;
- a practical format in sachets to be diluted, pleasant and without sweeteners: presented in individual sachets to be diluted in water, the product is easy to use on a daily basis or during physical activity, with precise dosage and rapid preparation, without the need for measuring. What's more, it has a delicious natural orange flavour and no sweeteners, for a more authentic taste with no artificially sweetened flavour.
What is in Hydration Electrolytes Formula
Any questions?
Our team of nutrition experts and scientists has the answers.
Electrolytes are known to make you more comfortable on a daily basis by supporting hydration and the proper functioning of the body.
They are even more useful when you lose water and minerals through exercise, heat or perspiration.
Electrolyte drinks are generally well tolerated, as long as you choose formulas with no added sugar and moderate sodium content (this is the case with Hydration Electrolytes Formula), to avoid unnecessary excess.
An electrolyte imbalance may initially remain discreet, without causing any marked symptoms.
When it becomes more serious, it may manifest itself as :
- fatigue or headaches;
- cramps, muscle weakness or tingling;
- a persistent feeling of dehydration or dizziness, particularly after exertion or heavy perspiration;
- a disturbance in the transmission of nerve signals and muscle contraction (coordination problems, spasms, etc.), in more severe cases.
There is no single best natural electrolyte.
To restore a good electrolyte balance, you need to ensure that you have a good, diversified intake of minerals: potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, etc.
Coconut water is an interesting source of natural electrolytes thanks to its high potassium, magnesium and calcium content. Although taken on its own, it is low in sodium, an essential electrolyte in the event of major losses.
Are you looking specifically to support your performance and recovery? Alongside your electrolyte intake, discover citrulline, an amino acid that increases the production of nitric oxide and thus blood flow to the muscles. It therefore enhances the supply of nutrients and oxygen during exercise. It can be found in the form of food supplements (such as L-Citrulline).
Taurine, on the other hand, is a sulphur-containing amino acid that regulates water exchange in the cells. In this way, it contributes to healthy muscle function. Certain dedicated supplements can be used to increase taurine levels (buy Taurine, for example).
When it comes to physical power, don't overlook the role of creatine. This amino acid derivative, produced in particular by the liver, increases phosphocreatine reserves, enabling ATP, the main source of cellular energy, to be generated rapidly. Since ATP is particularly in demand during short, intense efforts, creatine food supplements are appreciated by many athletes to boost their performance during repeated explosive efforts (see 3-Creatine, which combines three highly assimilable forms of creatine).
Finally, consuming an electrolyte drink goes very well with regular whey intake, especially for sportsmen and women. Whey is a high-quality protein, rich in essential amino acids. A substantial intake of protein and amino acids is necessary to increase muscle mass during the recovery phase following physical activity. Ideally, you should buy a native whey isolate for optimum quality and intake, with a low fat and lactose content (such as Native Whey Protein Isolate).
