Frequently Asked Questions

Will SportAktive EASY eliminate cramping?
SportAktive EASY electrolyte drink mix will hydrate you better than water or other sports drinks, because  you’re drinking a consistently balanced ratio of water to electrolytes.

Why keep carbohydrates to a minimum?
High levels of sugar (as is typical in most sports drinks) may delay the movement of liquid from the stomach to the intestine where absorption occurs. Sugar can also cause stomach upset during exercise. We believe that balancing the body's fluid content and using the body's fat cells as energy is more important to performance.

What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are sodium, potassium, magnesium & calcium. Electrolytes are absolutely necessary, especially when exercising and if sweating. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that people who are active for more than one hour require from  500–700mg of sodium for every quart of water consumed.

When should I drink SportAktive EASY electrolytes?
Before exercise: drink 16 to 32 ounces approximately 1 hour before training or competition to allow your body to absorb both fluid and electrolytes.

After:  continue to drink for approximately 20 minutes after exercise and as it aids recovery. For people that experience cramping, drink SportAktive EASY after your workout to reduce the likelihood of night-time cramping.

Can I really perform without carbohydrates?
Yes you can! But you need to be hydrated first. Many athletes begin training poorly hydrated. A 2% loss in fluid during exercise can reduce performance by 20%. The better balanced your fluid and electrolyte levels, the longer you can perform without additional carbohydrates. Most athletes do not require additionl carbohydrates until at least 1-1/2 hours of strenuous exercise or competition. Use your body energy first!
