The importance of electrolytes

Electrolytes are charged particles (often minerals) that perform important functions in the body. Well-known electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. You get these substances from food and lose them through sweat and urine. In addition, you can take them with a supplement.

When to take extra electrolytes

In these situations, you might consider taking more electrolytes:

• After getting up to start the day properly hydrated.
  Salt helps with water absorption. Water together with a little salt hydrates more than water alone.
• When you sweat a lot, such as during sports or hot weather.
  Through sweat, you lose both water and electrolytes. Add both to maintain your water balance.
• When you follow a low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet.
  The body retains more salt when you eat carbohydrates daily. Therefore, when your carbohydrate intake is low, you lose electrolytes faster.
• When you eat a lot of fresh produce that is low in salt.
  Processed foods often contain added salt. If you cook with fresh produce yourself, you often don't add as much salt.

In these situations, you need to pay more attention to your electrolyte intake. An electrolyte supplement helps to do that in an easy and tasty way.

Optimal electrolytes ratios

The composition of NoordCode Electrolytes is:

• 1000 mg sodium
• 400 mg potassium (20% RI)
• 76 mg magnesium (20% RI)

NoordCode has based this optimal electrolytes ratio on the following factors.

Sodium:potassium ratio

The body uses sodium and potassium together to maintain the amount of water inside and outside cells.

There is no absolute "perfect" ratio of sodium to potassium that applies to everyone, but there are general guidelines recommended by health organizations.

According to most guidelines, the ideal ratio of sodium to potassium is somewhere between 1:1 and 1:2. For every gram of sodium, you should get about 1-2 grams of potassium.

NoordCode opts for a ratio of sodium:potassium of 5:2. This assumes you also get potassium through food, such as fruit, potatoes, meat, avocado and leafy vegetables. So your total sodium:potassium intake will still end up around a 1:2 ratio.

The amount of magnesium

You get most magnesium from magnesium-rich foods such as leafy greens, nuts and seeds. 76 mg of magnesium makes a nice contribution to your daily intake.

High-quality ingredients

The mix contains Celtic sea salt as a source of sodium. Besides sodium, this salt also contains many other trace minerals that give this salt its characteristic colour and rich flavour. Celtic sea salt is a natural source of sodium that has not been chemically processed.

A potential disadvantage of sea salt is contamination. We, therefore, use only very pure salt that is tested free of heavy metals and microplastics.

NoordCode Electrolytes contains 2x as much potassium as LMNT, for 400 mg of potassium per serving. Potassium citrate, which we have used for this formula, is recommended by nutrition experts. The 76 mg of magnesium comes from Aquamin™ Mg Soluble, magnesium oxide from seawater converted to easily absorbable magnesium citrate.

NoordCode Electrolytes is free from allergens, GMOs, and maltodextrin. Suitable for keto, paleo, and vegan diets.

European alternative to LMNT Recharge

The most well-known and popular electrolyte mix is LMNT Recharge. This US electrolyte mix is widely praised by thought leaders as a functional, low-sugar, and tasty electrolyte drink. Unfortunately, LMNT no longer supplies Europe and other US brands are expensive due to import costs.

NoordCode Electrolytes now offers a European alternative with a similar formula and a good price.
