nuun is: portable
nuun comes in a tough tube that is water resistant and perfect for carrying in your hand, jersey pocker or pack.. One tube makes 6 litres (~1.5 gallons) enough for multiple long rides or a week at the gym. When travelling, nuun won't burst in your luggage, leaving a powdery mess! A couple of tubes in your bag will get you through a week of training in Colorado or the Pyrenees.
nuun is: balanced
nuun spent years researching the levels of electrolytes needed for the product to be absorbed quickly and to provide optimal salt balance to prevent cramping and maximize hydration. An editor of a major triathlon publication used nuun and had no cramping issues for the first time ever in an ironman.
nuun is: refreshing
nuun has a light, tart flavor that's not overwhelming. You won't have to water down this down like many do with other super-sweet sport drinks.
nuun is: simple
Drop one nuun tablet into a 16 oz. bottle of water and you're ready to go.
nuun is NOT: energy
To ensure rapid absorption, nuun contains no carbohydrates. Ingesting drinks containing high levels of carbohydrates can have two undesirable effects when it comes to hydration: 1) Carbohydrates can slow the rate at which your stomach empties and therefore delay the availability of water and electrolytes. 2) Carbohydrates also increase the osmolality of what you are drinking; impeding absorption beyond the stomach. This is what contributes to the bloating feeling many long course athletes experience. Please note: if you are participating in intense exercise for more than one hour you should consume carbohydrates to ensure that you can sustain energy levels for working muscles. Carbohydrate energy bars, or gels are effective means of providing you with the energy you require.
electrolyte content
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that people who are active for more than one hour get 700mg of sodium for every litre of water they consume. this is up to three times the sodium that traditional sports drinks provide. In fact, Some experts in the field believe that sodium concentrations should be closer to the 700 to 1000mg range. nuun provides 700mg of sodium per litre, plus five other critical electrolytes.
