THE ART & SCIENCE OF NUUN:

Nuun is a simple, easy to use solution for proper hydration. We spent a lot of time getting the performance of Nuun just right to ensure the optimal balance. If you’re interested in learning more about the specifics of what Nuun is and why, read on. And for proper hydration while reading on, we recommend Nuun.

NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION / INGREDIENTS (NUUN)

The following is the nutritional information for a serving of Nuun based on one tablet dissolved in 500ml of water. There are under 8 calories per Nuun tab.

Active Ingredients:

• Sodium (carbonates) – 360.00 mg
• Potassium (bicarbonate) – 100.00 mg
• Calcium (carbonate) – 12.50 mg
• Magnesium (sulfate) – 25.00 mg
• Vitamin C – 37.50 mg
• Vitamin B2 – 500 mcg

Other Ingredients: citric acid, sorbitol, sodium carbonate, natural colors flavors, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, polyethylene glycol, magnesium sulfate, sodium benzoate, calcium carbonate, acesulfame potassium, riboflavin-5-phosphate.

**Lemon Tea and Kona Cola each contain 40mg of caffeine per tablet. That’s about a third of the caffeine found in your average cup of coffee.**

PROPER HYDRATION IS IMPORTANT FOR OVERALL FITNESS AND HEALTH

Studies have shown that even mild dehydration will slow your metabolism, and poor hydration is the number one trigger for daytime fatigue. On the flip side, research has indicated that proper hydration is capable of significantly easing back and joint pain for up to 80% of suffers. So, whether you’re committed to hitting the gym before and after work or just trying to exercise casually to live a healthier life, Nuun can help you stay optimally hydrated all the time.

ELECTROLYTES

An average person sweats between 0.8 and 1.2 litres per hour while exercising, and it’s critical to replace the electrolytes you’re sweating out. With the most electrolytes per serving on the market, Nuun replenishes those essential electrolytes and helps prevent cramping and muscle fatigue so you can workout harder – and happier.

SUGAR FREE

The majority of sports drinks are loaded with sugar. We wanted to get people optimally hydrated without all those sugars. Thanks to Nuun, no matter what your reason may be for wanting to cut down on sugars, you now have a smarter hydration option.

PORTABILITY

One little sturdy waterproof tube makes 6L of sports drink and easily fits in your bag, along with a reusable water bottle and your other gear. No powders spilling all over your stuff, no empty plastic drink bottle to throw away afterwards.

SIMPLE TO USE

Nuun is super easy to use. All you have to do is fill up your water bottle, drop in a tab, and in the time it takes to tie up your shoes, you’ve got an optimal hydration drink. And because Nuun is sugar free, you’re not left with a sugary, sticky mess in your water bottle afterwards. Simply rinse out your reusable bottle, throw it in your bag, and it’s ready for your next workout.

LIGHT FLAVOR

Recent studies have shown that flavor encourages people to drink up to 90% more fluids than plain water alone. So Nuun’s light, refreshing taste will help motivate you to drink more fluids and make it easier to stay properly hydrated. With so many flavors to choose from, there’s a taste for everyone.

FORMULATION

Nuun’s formulation is based on years of research and feedback from some of the world’s top academic and practicing experts in the field of sports medicine—specifically in dehydration and hyponatremia. Nuun’s development is focused on the three most important aspects of proper hydration – speed of absorption, electrolyte content and carbohydrate content.

SPEED OF ABSORPTION

One of the most important characteristics of what you drink while you’re active is the speed at which your body can absorb it. The concentration of dissolved salts and sugars (osmolarity, for those more technically inclined) determines how fast the drink can cross from your digestive track into your bloodstream, where it can re-hydrate and replenish you. Nuun produces a hypotonic solution, so your body absorbs Nuun faster than the leading “sports drinks” or even water alone. This gives your body the ability to restore optimal water and electrolyte balance quickly and efficiently.

ELECTROLYTE CONTENT

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that people who are active for more than one hour get 500–700mg of sodium for every litre of water they consume. This is up to three times the sodium amount that traditional “sports drinks” provide. Some experts in the field believe that sodium concentrations should be closer to the 700–1000mg range. In addition to other critical electrolytes, Nuun provides 700mg of sodium for every litre of drink to ensure that you are adequately replenishing your body to help you perform at your best and stay healthy.

CARBOHYDRATE CONTENT 

Nuun contains no carbohydrates for a couple of reasons. The first being speed of absorption. Ingesting drinks containing high levels of carbohydrates can slow the rate at which your stomach empties, delaying the absorbance of the water and electrolytes. Carbs also increase the osmolality of what you’re drinking, delaying absorption beyond the stomach. But we know some people simply want to avoid unnecessary carbs, and it doesn’t make sense to consume sports drinks loaded with them. Now, if you’re participating in intense exercises lasting more than 60 to 90 minutes, you should consume carbohydrates to ensure energy levels for working muscles. But how you do that is up to you. Everyone manages energy consumption differently, whether it’s with sports bars, gels or other sources of calories and carbohydrates.  With Nuun you have full control of your calorie intake.
