'Along with preventing those muscle cramps [from running], electrolytes are essential for a host of important biological functions like regulating heart rate and blood pressure, and making sure your nervous system is working properly'
Photo: Courtesy of Nuun In our age of status water bottles and jumbo jugs, it seems like everyone is making hydration a priority. This is a good first step, but as much as I hate to break it to you, most experts will say that plain water often isn’t enough — especially if intense exercise is part of your regular routine.
Which is why I was very excited to discover Nuun tablets when I started working at a running store a few years back. Unlike Gatorade or Powerade, Nuun isn’t a household name, but I learned the brand does have a cult following among athletes. Similar to Alka Seltzer tablets, these fizzy tabs dissolve in water and, even though they have subtle fruity flavors, deliver a strong dose of electrolytes without a sugar rush.
Back when I first bought it, my co-workers at the running store also told me about a little “off-label” Nuun tip: If you pop one into a glass of water and guzzle it down after a particularly heavy night of drinking, it works wonders at curing hangovers.
