If you are like me, the prospect of a new superfood or magical elixir is always greeted with a mixture of excitement and cynicism.
The good news is that nuun falls into neither of those categories. Founded by a rag-tag but passionate band of world-class cyclists, skiers, rock climbers, runners and triathletes, nuun is the original rehydration tablet. As such it’s perfect for endurance activities, but just as wonderful for a trip to the gym or for day-to-day hydration.
The appeal save for the simplicity is that nuun is simply electrolytes, meaning effective hydration without carbs, sugars, additives or unwelcome surprises. If you’re an elite athlete that means you’re free to manage your energy by activity; if simply day to day it means the reassurance that you’re not inadvertently filling your body with rogue badness.
The tubes of tablets come in a range of light, refreshing flavors which give the effect of gently, but wonderfully making your water that much more effective and appealing- just drop one in your water bottle and you’re good to go.
I can heartily recommend the lemonade and strawberry lemonade flavours and take a bottle to the gym or yoga daily, while my new mixed fruit order will be with me imminently.
Whether you’re looking for active hydration to supplement a healthier lifestyle or support your training goals, nuun is the perfect solution.
Packs start at £6 for a tube of 12 tablets.
