How does taking a sports supplement benefi t an active body? There are many benefi ts to taking our sports supplements including energy, hydration, gut health and muscle recovery. It helps replenish vital nutrients that your body needs to perform at its best in whatever sport or the busy lifestyle you have.

What does an electrolyte supplement offer compared to drinking water? Water and hydration are important. When you are working at high intensity, the body uses a lot of energy, and electrolytes help to replace lost vitamins and minerals. They help you recover faster so you can continue to either work at that intensity or rehydrate your body when under stress and assist in recovery. Both water and electrolyte are a great pairing.
