<p class="" style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 24px;">The importance of electrolytes</span></p><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Electrolytes are charged particles (often minerals) that perform important bodily functions. 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.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">When to take extra electrolytes</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">In these situations, you might consider taking more electrolytes:</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><ul style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><li><b>After getting up to start the day properly hydrated.</b></li><li>Salt helps with water absorption. Water, together with a little salt, hydrates more than water alone.</li><li><b>When you sweat a lot, such as during sports or hot weather.</b></li><li>Through sweat, you lose both water and electrolytes. Add both to maintain your water balance.</li><li><b>When you follow a low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet.</b></li><li>When you eat carbohydrates daily, your body retains more salt. Therefore, when your carbohydrate intake is low, you lose electrolytes faster.</li><li><b>When you eat a lot of fresh produce that is low in salt.</b></li><li>Processed foods often contain added salt. If you cook with fresh products, you often don't add as much salt.</li></ul><p style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">In these situations, you must pay more attention to your electrolyte intake. An electrolyte supplement makes it easy and tasty to do so. </span><br></p><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49);

font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">NoordCode has based this optimal electrolytes ratio on the following factors.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Sodium:potassium ratio</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The body uses sodium and potassium together to maintain the amount of water inside and outside cells.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">There is no absolute "perfect" ratio of sodium to potassium that applies to everyone, but health organizations recommend general guidelines.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">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.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">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.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">The amount of magnesium</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">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.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">High-quality ingredients</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The mix contains unrefined sea salt, a natural source of sodium that has not been chemically processed. In addition to sodium, this salt contains many other trace minerals that give it its characteristic colour and rich flavour. A potential disadvantage of sea salt is contamination. We, therefore, use only very pure salt that is tested free of heavy metals and microplastics.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">Nutrition experts recommend potassium citrate, which we have used for this formula.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">The 76 mg of magnesium comes from Aquamin™ Mg, magnesium hydroxide, derived from seawater.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Sodium and Chloride from Salt</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">When we talk about salt, we often refer to sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is the main component of all salts. Salt provides sodium and chloride, which are both electrolytes. By weight, salt consists of 40% sodium and 60% chloride.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">NoordCode Electrolytes contains 1.1 g of sodium and approximately 1.6 g of chloride from sea salt per serving.</div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Sugar-free mix suitable for fasting and keto</span></div><div style="color: rgb(27, 12, 49); font-family: noto-sans, "Noto Sans", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">NoordCode Electrolytes Unflavored contains no added sugar and few carbohydrates, making it a perfect fit for a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet.
