The Science Behind Nuviita Performance Electrolytes
Most electrolyte products stop at replacing what you lose through sweat. Nuviita starts there, then adds a full Performance Amino Complex on top — zero sugar, stevia-sweetened, in every 8g sachet. Here's what's actually in it, and why.
The electrolyte profile
When you sweat, you lose water and electrolytes together — primarily sodium, along with smaller amounts of potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Sports-science guidance from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends including roughly 0.5–0.7g of sodium per litre of fluid for exercise longer than about an hour, and notes that sweat rate and sweat sodium concentration both vary considerably between individuals — testing across athletes has found sweat sodium concentration ranging from roughly 200mg to over 2,000mg per litre.
That's the reasoning behind Nuviita's electrolyte profile, per 8g sachet:
| Electrolyte | Amount per sachet | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 560mg | The primary electrolyte lost in sweat |
| Potassium | 300mg | Works alongside sodium for fluid balance and normal muscle function |
| Magnesium | 100mg | Contributes to normal muscle function |
| Calcium | 25mg | Rounds out the electrolyte profile |
Mixed at the standard 1 sachet to 500ml of water, that works out to roughly 1,120mg of sodium per litre — above the ACSM's general 500–700mg/L range, which suits heavier sweat losses better than lighter ones. If you'd rather land closer to that general range, mixing with more water (750ml–1L) brings the concentration down while keeping the same total electrolyte dose.
The Performance Amino Complex
On top of the electrolyte profile, every sachet includes five amino acids, at the following doses:
| Ingredient | Amount per sachet |
|---|---|
| L-Citrulline Malate (2:1) | 1200mg |
| Beta-Alanine | 600mg |
| Taurine | 400mg |
| L-Tyrosine | 250mg |
| L-Glutamine | 500mg |
These are included at the doses shown above. We keep the claims here to composition — what's in the formula, and how much — rather than specific performance or health benefit claims, which need their own evidence and regulatory clearance beyond an ingredient simply being present.

How to use it
Mix 1 sachet with 500ml of water. Use before, during, or after exercise, or any time you need hydration generally. Don't exceed 2 servings a day.
