WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTES?
When you do sport, you sweat,and in the water that you sweat, there are minerals. The electrolytes enable us to compensate for these mineral losses (sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in our tablets) and in no way represent a carbohydrate/calorie intake.
Thanks to the electrolytes, lactic acid — metabolic waste produced after exercise giving the feeling of 'heavy legs' — is drained and the body's acidity is reduced.
ARE ELECTROLYTES FOR ME?
An electrolyte tablet is easy to carry in your pocket, which is why it's straightforward for cyclists to prepare the drink in a water bottle on the go," says Wim, product manager and triathlete.And to work with the opening on trail runners' flasks (smaller than on water bottles), we have scored our tablets down the middle,so the tablet can be broken in half. Electrolytes can also be used for gym classes, a tennis match, etc.
A NEW FORMULA:A TASTE OF SWEETNESS WITHOUT SUGAR
For a sports diet more based on natural ingredients, we have removed the artificial sweetener from our former product to replace it with a stevia, a plant extract not synthesised in a laboratory."It's true that stevia has a lasting sweet taste, without sugar.The truth is that we would like to create a product that is sugar-free and just as good... In the mean time, stevia seems a great alternative to us," says Mathilde, product engineer.
AN EFFERVESCENT DRINK
Hands up if you've never drunk from a bottle and forgotten that its content was fizzy!That's what we thought:there are many of you (who kept your hands down)!So we'd just like to remind you that our electrolytes are slightly effervescent.When you fill your water bottle, remember to leave the bite valve a little open.That way, there'll be no surprises ('fssst') when you open it!
WHAT ARE ALL THESE INGREDIENTS FOR?
- Sorbitol is a bulking agent.- Citric acid for taste and effervescence.- Sodium bicarbonate for sodium intake.
- Potassium chloride for potassium intake.- Magnesium oxide for magnesium intake.
- Calcium carbonate for calcium intake.Vitamins B6, B9, and C help reduce fatigue.Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and vitamin B1 helps normal energy metabolism.- And stevia for the sweet intensity.
