They sound exciting but they are all about balance. Simply, electrolytes are electrically charged minerals which have a key role in many bodily functions, specifically fluid balance. Their charge helps pull water from your blood into your muscles. The important electrolytes for athletes are sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium.

Electrolytes are necessary for a variety of things, like hydration, muscle contraction and blood pressure. Certain electrolytes, like sodium and potassium, are lost in sweat and need to be replaced to maintain the proper fluid balance in the body.

Our Dual Charge energy delivery system is brought to you in the form of carbohydrate: Glucose and Fructose in a ratio of 2:1. Providing your body with an instant but long-lasting energy release.

Glucose, often called the building block of carbohydrate - a simple form of sugar and as such is absorbed straight into the bloodstream, raising your blood sugar level. This in-turn stimulates the release of certain hormones which increase the amount of glucose able to enter your body’s cells, providing a more instant release of energy.

Fructose is also absorbed more directly into the bloodstream mostly through the liver but raises blood sugar levels more slowly. This creates our dual fuel energy delivery system; instant but long-lasting.
