Mix sachet powder with 750ml water. Shake or stir well until contents dissolve. Add more water to dilute taste or use less water for a stronger taste. Add ice for an extra refreshing chill.

REVIVE contains no chemicals, colouring, fillers or artificial ingredients. The main electrolyte ingredients are sodium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium malate.

Sodium citrate and calcium carbonate (also electrolytes) are used to soften the tartness of the salts. We use a high-quality, natural, spray-dried flavour for the great taste and aroma.

Stevia balances the saltiness. It is one of the few natural, non-caloric, non-glycemic sweeteners. It has no effect on blood sugar or insulin. Stevia doesn’t have a lingering after-taste, and because stevia is exceptionally sweet, a tiny amount is used.

The final ingredient is citric acid, necessary to ensure freshness and preserve quality.

For the longest time sodium has been vilified. Excess salt, we were told, raises blood pressure, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Things have changed. Yet, despite new science that debunks the myth that salt is bad for everyone, many people, including medical professionals, are locked in the past. Old dogma doesn’t die easily.

An often-quoted study, published in 2011, in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) shows that our official guidelines for sodium are out of whack. If reading scientific papers isn’t your thing, there are 3 important takeaways:

1. Too LITTLE salt is actually dangerous.

2. Too much salt occurs at more than 8g of sodium per day (that’s 21g of salt).

3. The sweet-spot, or lowest risk of cardiovascular disease, is 5g of sodium per day (13g of salt), more than DOUBLE the official recommendation.

* Importantly, sodium is not the same as the salt. Regular salt - the stuff we sprinkle onto our food - is sodium chloride (NaCl). The amount of sodium in sodium chloride is about 38%. So, to get 5g of sodium, you need to consume 13g of salt. This is a critical point often lost on people who aren’t doing chemistry for a living.

For an in-depth look at salt, The Salt Fix, by Dr James DiNicolantonio, provides an extensively researched view on why we can erase our guilt for this important mineral. For something shorter than a whole book, here is an excellent article by Dr Jason Fung, called The Truth About Salt, from the always reliable Diet Doctor website.

If salt is ok for unhealthy folks, what about healthy people? After all, the JAMA study was done on people at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Are the needs of health-conscious people different from the average couch potato? It turns out the answer is yes, and that’s where REVIVE comes in.

REVIVE Daily Electrolytes isn’t for everyone. REVIVE is designed for active, health-conscious people. We hope one of them is you!
