Description
Electrolytes – hydrating the body from within, targeting major minerals and restoring their balance. Electrolytes (sodium and potassium) affect your nerve function, absorption of glucose and of some amino-acids. Jotunheim Nutrition electrolytes offer an almost 1-1 ratio balance between potassium and sodium, which is the ideal. The balance between these two minerals is of extreme importance as it affects blood pressure. An imbalance between sodium and potassium is linked to coma, seizures, cardiac arrest, in the worst of cases, henceforth, it becomes very important to check that your intake of these two minerals is at a 1-1 ratio, approximately.
OUR INGREDIENTS, EXPLAINED:
- Citric Acid: Vital for optimal mineral absorption as it chelates minerals, increasing their solubility and facilitating absorption in the intestines.
- Magnesium Bisglycinate: Known for its muscle-relaxing properties, this form of magnesium is considered the safest and most effective, easily absorbed, and plays a crucial role in supporting digestive health.
- Calcium Citrate: Replenishes calcium lost through perspiration during strenuous physical activity.
- Salt: Comprising sodium and chloride, the body’s most abundant electrolytes. Sodium assists in nutrient absorption by cells and supports nerve and muscle function, while chloride regulates blood pressure and maintains the body’s natural pH balance.
- Potassium Citrate: Exhibiting alkalizing properties in the body, it aids in balancing urinary pH levels, commonly used to address kidney stone concerns, and plays a pivotal role in maintaining a balanced ratio with sodium.
- Malic Acid: Facilitates energy production by enhancing ATP synthesis. When bound to a mineral, it aids in the mineral’s absorption in the gut and bloodstream.
- Ascorbic Acid: Functions as an antioxidant and supports the absorption of electrolytes.
- Stevia: A safe sweetener when consumed in moderation.
- Beetroot Powder: Adds a vibrant natural color.
- Coconut Mineral: A concentrated source of coconut water’s trace minerals, conveniently available in powder form.
- Citrus (grapefruit) taste, for extra enjoyment!
When you exercise, sweat, practice intense exercise and even when women approach labour or right after delivery (please consult your midwife if you are unsure of using this product or you are diagnosed with any condition while pregnant), our body loses a great quantity of fluid and specifically, minerals.
To ensure top performance and recovery, one needs to consume mineralised fluids to restore what is lost. Electrolytes play a key role in maintaining both fluid and mineral balance in the body. Minerals are restored through diet, but oftentimes, especially with intense exercise, the body needs a boost aid in replenishing, this is when supplementation comes in handy.
If you suspect that you have an imbalance of minerals in your body or an electrolyte disturbance for a long period of time without improvements and unpleasant symptoms, it is important to contact your healthcare professional for further investigation. Remember to never take any supplement, vitamin or mineral without first checking your levels.

Although I have only used this product twice, I still want to share my opinion.
Recently, I have incorporated more running into my weekly training. With the current summer heat, this means a lot of sweating, making an electrolyte product very useful to me. This product uses high-quality, natural ingredients in proper dosages while still being reasonably priced. Unlike Nuun tablets (which is owned by Nestle; a scummy company), this product actually has proper dosages at 1 scoop, compared to the Nuun tablets where you realisticly need 3 tablets.
I highly recommend this product for endurance, hybrid, and combat athletes, or anyone interested in maintaining proper electrolyte balance.

The grapefruit flavor is absolutely harmonious and delicious. It’s very effective rehydrating during and after an intense martial arts session.

Id been looking for a electrolyte mix beyond just adding salt to water and Marcus released this blend just in time for high heat summer in the South, which means its over 80*F at 5 am before the suns up. Ive been using this most days mixed with some aminos for before and after early surf sessions and later for outside work or exercise. The blend is good, I like that it has potassium and coconut water minerals added. The flavor is mild, and not overly sweet like most sports drinks are. A fine product I highly reccomend it.

The potion i didnt know i needed until i tried it.
My energy levels really got a boost from this. Probably been drinking too little water in general, and been feeling sluggish, but this really gave me a boost and its great after a workout! Taste real great too!
