Electrolyte formula using only a little glucose and the optimal level of electrolytes promotes faster gastric emptying (movement of fluid from the stomach to the small intestine) and absorption into the blood. You will achieve faster hydration and can perform longer with energy consumption from fat cells with higher energy value than a sugar supplement.

Why should we drink ‘electrolyte drinks’?
The basic function of a performance electrolyte drink is to replace sweat (i.e. water and salts leaving the body). Sodium (the salt in sweat) is a key ingredients for optimal fluid and electrolyte replacement during periods of heavy sweating. Research studies indicate that electrolyte drinks containing a small amount of simple carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose and fructose) plus electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, etc.) provide greater rehydration benefits than water alone.

Compared to drinks with lots of sugar, electrolyte formulae using only a little glucose and electrolytes promote faster gastric emptying (movement of fluid from the stomach to the small intestine) and absorption into the blood.

What is Hyponatremia?
Sweat contains about 800mg of sodium per quart, whereas a typical sports drink provides only half that much. Hyponatremia occurs when there is too little sodium in your blood stream as a result of sweat loss during prolonged exercise. If you sweat a lot and lose sodium but try to replace with plain water, the body is at risk for hyponatremia. The SportAktive Easy formula contains 400mg sodium and 180mg potassium per 16 ounce (500 ml) serving and is engineered to combat hyponatremia. At only 5 calories per serving, SportAktive EASY is the best alternative for athlete hydration.

Natural flavor. Great Taste with Less Sugar
SportAktive EASY has a natural flavor that was designed with the athlete in mind. Not too sweet, not too plain (like water), but with a taste that encourages you to keep drinking even when you are fatigued from training or racing. When you drink SportAktive EASY, you remain hydrated and deliver all of the essential electrolytes to your body necessary for maximum performance.

Energy
Crucial to the production of energy is the citric acid cycle (Krebs Cycle), which taps citric acid and is responsible for the breakdown of amino acids, glucose, and fatty acids to produce ATP(5) (the actual energy molecule that fuels your muscles). SportAktive EASY offers a perfect balance of citric acid to give you optimal hydration and the energy your body needs.
