Natural Factors Electrolyte Hydration Drink Mix - Lemonade (193.5 g)

The Lemonade version of Natural Factors Electrolyte Hydration Drink Mix comes as a 193.5 g tub of lemon-flavoured powder, measured out in 4.3 g scoops. Helps to support normal electrolyte balance. A single scoop stirred into 500 mL of water gives you 240 mg of sodium, 100 mg of potassium and three more minerals, with no added sugars.

What Electrolyte Hydration Drink Mix is licensed for

It is licensed for sale by Health Canada and bears NPN 80145790. The licence also lists:

• Source of electrolytes for the maintenance of good health.
• Helps to support normal muscle function, including the heart muscle.
• Helps in energy metabolism.
• Helps support bone health.
• Helps to support the body's ability to metabolize nutrients.

The five minerals, scoop by scoop

Per 4.3 g scoop the label lists sodium 240 mg, potassium 100 mg (from potassium citrate), calcium 75 mg and phosphorus 35 mg (from tribasic calcium phosphate), and magnesium 25 mg (from magnesium citrate). Two fruit powders sit alongside them: 100 mg of watermelon juice powder and 100 mg of coconut water powder.

The rest of the scoop is what makes it taste like lemonade: citric acid, L-malic acid, natural flavour and purified stevia leaf extract, with sodium citrate, salt, sea salt and sodium bicarbonate supplying the sodium. It contains no gluten and no caffeine, and Natural Factors lists it as non-GMO and suitable for vegetarian, keto and paleo eating.

Lemonade or Tropical Punch?

Natural Factors makes one formula in two flavours. Tropical Punch comes in a slightly heavier 198 g tub with a 4.4 g scoop, and Lemonade in this 193.5 g tub with a 4.3 g scoop. The minerals per scoop match exactly and each tub gives about 45 scoops. Lemonade is tart and bright, a good pick if you find fruit-punch flavours too sweet.

How to take it

Adults 18 and over dissolve 1 to 2 scoops daily in 500 mL of water each, or follow a health care practitioner's directions. Cold water mixes fastest, and a shaker bottle saves stirring. Because the mix contains potassium, the label says: do not use this product with other potassium-containing supplements or with potassium-containing salt substitutes. Keep the tub out of the reach of children. The full directions and cautions are under How to Take.

Who it suits

Lemonade suits adults who drink water through the day and want a citrus flavour with measured minerals in it. A tub at one scoop a day lasts about six weeks, which makes it an easy one to keep in the cupboard or at the office.
