the first electrolyte

sodium

The first electrolyte we chose is sodium. Sodium excels in hydration by balancing our bodies’ water levels. Have you ever gotten that feeling of seeing stars or feeling dizzy after an intense workout or activity? It is likely that the culprit behind that sensation you feel is a lack of sodium. As we lose sodium through exercise, we lose the ability to hold onto the water we are drinking, leading to dehydration and the common sensation of seeing stars.

Potassium symbol 'K' in a white circle on blue background, representing the second electrolyte in LUCO's formula

the second electrolyte

potassium

The second electrolyte we added is potassium. Potassium stands out by regulating our bodies' muscle contractions. Have you ever noticed that athletes may eat a banana before playing a sport? Well, the reason for this is because bananas are rich in potassium. However, if you don’t want to have food in your stomach while exercising, our zero calorie electrolyte mix is an optimal option to get your electrolytes in before exercise.

Magnesium symbol 'Mg' in a white circle on blue background, representing the third electrolyte in LUCO's formula

the third electrolyte

magnesium

The third electrolyte we included is magnesium. Magnesium stands out by helping our muscles relax and recover. Have you ever gotten a cramp during or after exercise, or anytime at all? There’s a good chance that the reason for that cramp was a lack of magnesium. Just like the previous electrolytes, the loss of magnesium through exercise leads to complications. In this case, it’s muscle cramping.

our perfect ratio:

Our ratio of electrolytes isn’t random: it closely mimics the ratio of electrolytes that your body loses when you sweat. That means every time you take LUCO, you are giving your body exactly what it’s asking for. While many brands have ditched the salt for sugar to make their drinks sweeter, we’ve stayed true to what actually hydrates. You won’t catch serious athletes sipping low-salt, sugar-filled electrolytes. Real hydration starts with salt.

frequently asked questions

What ingredients are used in the hydration mix?

Our staple Lemonade Electrolyte Hydration Mix is made with just seven simple ingredients, each chosen to optimize hydration and performance. Sea salt provides 500mg of sodium to support electrolyte balance, while erythritol, a natural sweetener derived from fruits and vegetables, adds a touch of sweetness without sugar. Citric acid, a lemon-based compound, enhances the mix’s tartness. Potassium chloride helps maintain fluid balance, and magnesium malate supports muscle function, reduces cramps, and aids recovery after exercise. Natural lemon flavor gives it that refreshing citrus taste, and stevia extract adds a final hint of sweetness—all while keeping it sugar-free. Simple, effective, and perfectly balanced for your hydration needs.
