The importance of electrolytes

Electrolytes are charged particles that perform essential functions in the body. Common electrolytes include sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. You ingest them through food and lose them via sweat and urine. They can also be supplemented with a food supplement.

When to use NoordCode Performance Electrolytes

NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange is suitable in the following situations:

• When you sweat a lot, such as during sauna use, exercise or hot weather.
  You lose both water and electrolytes through sweat. Replenish both to maintain your water balance.
• When following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
  The body retains more salt when you eat carbohydrates daily. On a low-carb diet, you lose electrolytes more quickly.
• When eating a diet rich in fresh foods with little added salt.
  Processed foods often contain added salt. When cooking with fresh ingredients, you may not add enough salt.
• During (water) fasting.
  It is wise to take electrolytes during fasting. This helps support your energy levels and may reduce fatigue.

In these situations, it is important to monitor your electrolyte intake. An electrolyte supplement helps you do this in a convenient and tasty way.

Optimal electrolyte ratio

The composition of NoordCode Performance Electrolytes is:

• 1000 mg sodium (no RI)
• 1500 mg chloride (188% RI)
• 400 mg potassium (20% RI)
• 100 mg magnesium (27% RI), with naturally occurring trace minerals

NoordCode based this electrolyte ratio on the following factors:

Focus on sodium and chloride replenishment

NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange is designed to replenish sodium and chloride. These are the electrolytes most lost through sweat and urine. Sodium and chloride together form salt (sodium chloride). They can therefore be easily replenished through salt.

Each serving of Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange delivers 1000 mg sodium (no RI) and 1500 mg chloride (188% RI). This dosage is suitable to replace lost electrolytes or increase salt intake.

400 mg potassium as a supplement to a varied diet

Potassium is an important electrolyte that helps maintain healthy blood pressure. Health organisations such as EFSA and WHO recommend a sodium to potassium ratio of 1:1 or 1:2.

Potassium is abundant in fresh plant-based foods, such as fruits, potatoes, meat, avocado and leafy greens. NoordCode assumes a varied diet with plant-based foods and selected a dosage of 400 mg potassium, 20% of the reference intake. Potassium citrate is recommended by nutrition scientists for its high absorption rate.

100 mg highly bioavailable magnesium

Magnesium is important for normal nerve and muscle function, among others. You mainly get it from leafy greens, nuts and seeds.

NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange provides 100 mg magnesium, 27% of the reference intake. The chosen source is Aquamin™ Mg Soluble magnesium citrate, derived from sea minerals. Magnesium citrate is a highly bioavailable form of magnesium. Aquamin™ Mg Soluble also contains trace minerals.

Controlled for heavy metals

NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange is third-party tested for heavy metals.

Reduced acidity

NoordCode pays close attention to the acidity of the electrolyte drink when developing the flavour. Most flavoured sports and electrolyte drinks are acidic, which makes them less suitable for regular consumption. NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange is not as highly acidic as other sports and electrolyte drinks.

Electrolyte drink mix with lemon-orange flavour

The refreshing lemon-orange flavour comes from natural flavourings and is sweetened with stevia.

NoordCode Performance Electrolytes Lemon Orange contains no sugar and very few carbohydrates. The calories per serving are so low that it does not interfere with (water) fasting. It is as clean as can be and free from allergens and GMOs. This makes it ideal for a ketogenic or low-carb diet.
