Electrolytes are nothing new. Your body has known them forever. Simply put, electrolytes are minerals – salts – that carry an electric charge and circulate in the body’s fluids. Life is salt, after all.

The three you’ll hear about most

Sodium. What we usually call salt. The one that gives sweat its taste.

Potassium. Sodium’s partner. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Magnesium. The quiet hero. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

When do we lose electrolytes?

All the time – mostly through sweat. Training, hot days, the sauna, long flights and busy days all add up. That’s why we made electrolytes something you can simply drink, wherever you are: before or after a workout, on the way to the office, or instead of that third coffee.

What’s in a can of The Core

500 mg electrolytes – sodium, potassium, magnesium and chloride – plus zinc and B vitamins. 7 kcal and 0.3 g sugar per can.

• Magnesium and potassium contribute to normal muscle function.
• Magnesium, niacin, vitamin B6 and folate contribute to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.

Do electrolytes give you energy?

Not like caffeine does. Caffeine is a kick. The Core is caffeine-free and works differently: magnesium, niacin and vitamin B6 contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Want the kick as well? That’s what The Grind is for – 500 mg electrolytes plus 200 mg caffeine.

Why a can?

Same amount of electrolytes as a powder, without the shaker. Ready to drink, lightly sparkling, with or without caffeine. Made in Sweden.

Electrolytes are part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle – not a replacement for one.
