Performance Electrolytes Kiwi | 400 g | German Elite Nutrition

GEN Performance Electrolytes Kiwi

The kiwi variant of Performance Electrolytes is a powder that goes beyond a standard thirst quencher. Per 20-gram serving, you get 2257 mg of electrolytes from magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride, supplemented with 3800 mg of citrulline malate, 1400 mg of taurine, coconut water powder, beetroot extract (Sabeet®), Senactiv®, and vitamins B1 and B6. The fresh, green kiwi flavor is light to drink, whether during or after your workout. This gives you more than just salt in water: a broader formula for around your exertion.

The Fresh Kiwi Flavor in Practice

Kiwi is a slightly tart, summery flavor that works well in cold water. You mix 20 grams of powder (one scoop) into 500 ml of water to get a clear, thirst-quenching drink. Since it contains no sugar and the serving provides only 10 kcal, it stays light on the stomach, even if you drink it during intense exertion. The kiwi flavor is fresh enough to consume multiple times a day without being too sweet. Serve it preferably well chilled, as this best highlights the fresh note. If you prefer something citrusy, there's an orange-lime variant with the exact same formula. This allows you to alternate without sacrificing any of the composition. The kiwi flavor deliberately doesn't rely too much on sweetness, which is pleasant if you continue to replenish the drink during a long session.

What Does Performance Electrolytes Contain?

The base consists of five minerals that together provide 2257 mg of electrolytes per serving: 200 mg of magnesium, 400 mg of potassium, 900 mg of sodium, 150 mg of calcium, and 607 mg of chloride. To this are added 3800 mg of L-citrulline malate (2:1), of which 2530 mg is L-citrulline, plus 1400 mg of taurine and 2000 mg of coconut water powder. Sabeet® is a beetroot extract with naturally occurring nitrates (5 mg of nitrate per serving), and Senactiv® is a branded complex of Panax notoginseng extract and Rosa roxburghii fruit extract. Vitamins B1 (2 mg) and B6 (2 mg) complete the formula. The minerals are incorporated as citrate and chloride, and sucralose is used as a sweetener. Additionally, there are 4.76 g of inulin fiber per serving. Inulin is a soluble fiber derived, among other things, from chicory root and gives the drink a little more body without adding sugar.

The Role of Electrolytes and B Vitamins

During exercise, you lose fluid and minerals through sweat. A drink with electrolytes helps you target this replenishment. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, normal muscle function, and normal nervous system function, and to the reduction of fatigue. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal blood pressure, and calcium contributes to normal muscle function. The added B vitamins participate in your metabolism: vitamins B1 and B6 contribute to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin B6 also contributes to the reduction of fatigue and the normal functioning of the immune system. Thus, the kiwi variant covers both your fluid and mineral replenishment. The 900 mg of sodium was deliberately chosen to be high, as sodium is the mineral you lose in the greatest quantity when sweating. With potassium and chloride, it forms the core of what your body loses during intense exertion.

Who Is This Electrolyte Powder For?

Performance Electrolytes is intended for anyone who wants to replenish fluid and minerals during and after exertion: strength athletes, endurance athletes, cyclists, Hyrox athletes, and active people in hot weather. Whether you're doing a long endurance workout, competing intensely, or simply moving a lot in the summer, you replenish your fluid and mineral loss this way. Since the serving provides only 10 kcal and contains no sugar, it fits well into both a sports routine and a daily hydration plan. The composition is 100% plant-based, gluten-free, lactose-free, aspartame-free, and soy lecithin-free. A 400-gram tub is good for 20 servings, so with this kiwi variant, you keep your electrolyte intake simple and suited to your day. Many athletes wonder when it's best to take such a drink. In practice, it's good to sip it during longer workouts and supplement the rest afterward. On rest days, you can spread one serving throughout the day to maintain your fluid intake.
