Question 1

When should I drink REPOWR, and how much should I take?

Accepted Answer

The answer depends who you are and what you're doing. Here's some guidance:Healthy diets and intermittent fasting: Most people prefer hydrating in the morning, soon after waking. Sip slowly over your day. 1 - 2 sachets per day depending on how you feel and how much physical activity you're doing.Strict water-only fasting: REPOWR Raw can be consumed during your fast but flavoured REPOWR should be consumed before or after a strict fast, not during. 1 - 2 sachets per day.Religious fasting: it's important to hydrate before a fast and continue hydrating after. Consume during the fast if permitted. 1 - 2 sachets per day.Exercise performance: You can start REPOWR before a workout but most people prefer drinking during or after the workout. For endurance events, REPOWR MUST be consumed during the event, to maintain hydration and prevent muscle cramps. 1 sachet per 2 hours of sweating and 1 sachet for recovery.Gym workouts involving strength training and HIIT less than 2 hours: drink during the workout if you feel comfortable. Some people prefer plain water during intense workouts, in which case use REPOWR afterwards to restore hydration and aid recovery.Sickness involving diarrhoea or vomiting, sip slowly over the course of illness.Breastfeeding: 1 - 2 sachets per day.Sauna: 1 sachet per half hour.Click here to see our preloading or race performance protocol.Do not exceed 3 sachets per day except for long endurance events such is iron-man and ultra-distance running.

Question 2

How many sachets of REPOWR can I take per day?

Accepted Answer

It varies by individual and by what you're doing. REPOWR is designed to replace the electrolytes you lose:Our sodium and magnesium levels are set at 20% of daily requirements for healthy people and our potassium is set at 4.25%. There are 3 good reasons potassium is lower: 1 - We lose much less potassium through sweat and other activities than sodium, 2 - It's easier to get potassium from food and 3 - Potassium in liquid form should be kept lower as it can affect heart rhythm and cause palpitations.For most health conscious people, 1 sachet of REPOWR daily is ideal unless you're very active. Please see our detailed guideline in the FAQ: When and how much REPOWR should I drink?Do not exceed 3 sachets per day except for long endurance events, during which 1 sachet per 2 hours of sweating is the general guideline.

Question 3

Is REPOWR only for people on a Low Carb diet?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. REPOWR is designed for all health conscious people, but especially those eating a clean, healthy, whole-food diet that is lower in processed food, sugar and refined carbohydrates.Here are some other great reasons to take REPOWR:- Intermittent Fasting- Multi-day Fasting- Religious Fasting- Exercise Performance- Physical activity- Sickness (including diarrhea and vomiting)- Pregnancy- Breastfeeding- Active Kids- Long flights- Big Nights: we aren't alcohol consumption, but if you do, REPOWR is for you- Cancer treatment, especially those following no sugar protocols- Therapeutic ketogenic diet- Sauna- Altitude climbing

Question 4

Does REPOWR break a fast?

Accepted Answer

The “rules” for fasting are nuanced and not everyone agrees. There are also different fasting protocols and definitions - these "rules" are, after all, man-made constructs, not scientific principles.The majority of the intermittent fasting community accepts that a fast is broken if you consume:1. Anything with Calories2. Anything that causes a rise in blood glucose3. Anything that causes an insulin response4. Anything artificial or with sugar or chemicalsREPOWR follows the above principles and is therefore suitable for regular intermittent fasting, 16:8, 12:6 etc.Some people argue that stevia and flavour (used in REPOWR) signal the brain in an undesirable way and aren’t in keeping with the spirit of fasting. We don’t share this view. Most, including medical experts and scientists in the field, accept that black coffee, black tea, green tea, water and clean electrolytes like REPOWR don't break a fast.Some types of fasting allow bone broth, even though it contains calories because the fat helps contain hunger and doesn't cause a rise in blood sugar or insulin, and the vitamins and minerals help with fasting.Water-only fasting, reset fasting and fasting for autophagy are stricter protocols. For these methods, we suggest flavoured REPOWR before or after, but not during, the fast.REPOWR RAW is appropriate for all types of fasting including strict fasting.

Question 5

Is REPOWR safe for pregnant women?

Accepted Answer

Hydration is important during pregnancy due to the extra fluid and nutrient transport requirements of pregnant women, not to mention morning sickness.REPOWR is safe for normal, healthy pregnancies, especially if you’re physically active, but even if you're not.Our product is well-suited to pregnancy because of the functional mineral levels and the absence of sugar and chemicals. Plus, our sodium is unprocessed and unpolluted.IMPORTANT Note: REPOWR should not be used by anyone with kidney disease, hypertension or taking diuretic medication. Additionally, we advise caution and medical advice if a pregnant mom has oedema (swelling), water retention or preeclampsia.Here is a really useful Instagram post from an excellent US company on hydration during pregnancy.

Question 6

Can I take REPOWR while breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

YES. There are some very good reasons to hydrate with electrolytes during breastfeeding.The fluid replacement requirements for lactating mothers are obvious but fatigue and disrupted sleep are other good reasons to hydrate properly.The mineral requirements for your baby are equally important.There is evidence and many case reports that sodium enhances breastmilk production.REPOWR's clean, no-sugar, no-chemicals formulation is ideal for healthy moms and babies.See our article for a deeper dive on hydration for breastfeeding.

Question 7

Is REPOWR suitable for children?

Accepted Answer

REPOWR is safe for children, especially in the context of physical activity, sports and being outdoors. However, the amount taken should be reduced in proportion to body weight. Here's some practical guidance:Children under 4 years old: Mix one sachet with 1L of water and split into 4 x 250ml portions. Use 250ml per day.Children between 4 - 10 years old: Mix one sachet with 1L of water and split into 2 x 500ml portions. Use 500ml per day.Children over 10 - same dosage as adultsFor diarrhea or vomiting, the above amounts also apply.

Question 8

Can I take REPOWR if I have high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

On our packaging, we have a warning saying REPOWR is not appropriate for people with hypertension. Regulations require that we do so. However, this FAQ allows us to give a more comprehensive and nuanced response to a topic that cannot be dealt with in a sentence.Stage 1 hypertension is blood pressure more than 130/80 mm Hg. Some people have elevated blood pressure (higher than normal) that is not yet in the category of hypertension. This FAQ applies to both elevated blood pressure and hypertension. The higher your blood pressure, the more conservative you should be, as a matter of common sense. Most (but not all) of the medical establishment holds the view that sodium increases blood pressure and low salt diets have been a cornerstone of conventional medical advice for decades. For a deep-dive into this topic, refer to our long article exploring how guidelines are set and why the evidence points to higher daily sodium intake than historically suggested.REPOWR has a relatively high level of sodium but it is only 20% of the daily intake suggested by many studies.Like many other things long regarded as bad for you - for example saturated fat, eggs and butter, new evidence is emerging and many leading voices in the scientific and medical communities are speaking out with a different message. Members of the public are taking their health into their own hands and getting great results with a different approach that sometimes goes against guidelines.It turns out that conventional guidelines have often been wrong, and have sometimes been harmful. We think that salt falls into this category. The simple idea that "salt is bad" is not universally correct and is definitely more nuanced than originally thought. Many respected, thoughtful doctors and scientists are now advising that salt is not bad, and, in fact, that low salt is harmful and can raise blood pressure. This makes things thoroughly confusing.We are not here to give medical advice. We are not allowed to do so, and nothing in this FAQ should be construed as such, but here is our interpretation, made as simple as we can. It is taken from sources like Dr Richard Johnson (Nature Wants Us To Be Fat), one of the world's blood pressure experts, and many others: 1.  75% of people are NOT salt sensitive, meaning that higher sodium does not increase their blood pressure.2.  Sodium taken as part of hydration, in other words, with the right amount of water is benign (and therefore safer) than sodium taken with food.3.  During exercise, you lose sodium and other minerals (like potassium and magnesium) that need to be replaced, along with water. This is true, irrespective of your blood pressure.4.  People eating a healthy diet, practicing intermittent fasting and exercising regularly need more electrolytes, particularly sodium. This also includes people with higher blood pressure. So, here are some tips for using REPOWR safely and cautiously if you choose to do so with higher blood pressure: 1.  Use REPOWR when exercising, not as an everyday drink, until you are sure there is no adverse effect on your blood pressure.2.  Dilute REPOWR in more water - we suggest one sachet per 1L, instead of 750ml.3.  Split 1 REPOWR sachet into 2 x 500ml portions - drink only 1 portion per day.4.  Sip slowly.5.  Monitor your blood pressure on days you take REPOWR and on days you don't, so you can compare.6.  Monitor how you feel.7. Regulate your overall sodium intake, in other words your entire dietary intake of salt. On days you take REPOWR, you may wish to be more cautious with your other salt intake. As a last point, there is evidence pointing to 5g of sodium per day (which is 13.8g of salt) as being the optimum level, even for people with known cardiovascular risk (which includes people with higher blood pressure). Most people aren't getting near this level. REPOWR, which has 1g of sodium per sachet. We hope this answer provides some context for you to make your own judgment and to use REPOWR safely if you choose to do so.

Question 9

Is REPOWR suitable for Type 1 Diabetics?

Accepted Answer

REPOWR is perfect for Type 1 Diabetes (T1d). We have many T1d customers, including some accomplished athletes. REPOWR is non-glycemic and won't change insulin requirements - the effect is like drinking water, but REPOWR gives you the electrolytes and hydration that is needed.REPOWR is also gut friendly as it doesn't have chemicals and artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols that many people can't tolerate well.REPOWR also tastes good - it's not like a medicine and it replaces sugary drinks for kids. Speaking of kids, if your child is T1d, please also read the FAQ on the suitability for children.

Question 10

Who should NOT take REPOWR?

Accepted Answer

REPOWR SHOULD NOT be used if you have hypertension, kidney disease or take diuretic medication. We say this on our packaging. Nonetheless, the real world is more complex and nuanced than a simple sentence on the back of a box. So here is a little more guidance.Anyone who feels bloated, uncomfortable or retains water after drinking RREPOWR should discontinue use.Some people have ragweed allergies and are sensitive to Stevia. Coughing, sneezing, itchy throat, runny nose, watering eyes, skin rashes or hives are possible. If this affects you, don't use flavoured REPOWR but REPOWR RAW would be fine.Please see specific guidance for children and pregnant women.All content and references on this website are strictly for informational purposes and should not be construed as medical, nutritional or health advice. Please seek the advice of a healthcare professional before changing your diet, embarking on any type of fasting regime or consuming supplements or electrolytes. This is particularly important if you take medication or have a chronic health condition.

Question 11

Is REPOWR vegan friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our formula is vegan friendly. REPOWR contains no ingredients of an animal nature. Most of our formulation contains minerals which are neither plants nor animals - minerals exist naturally in the earth and are "harvested" and processed for consumption. Our flavours and stevia are plant-based.

Question 12

Can REPOWR prevent or cure a hangover?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is no, REPOWR won't prevent or cure a hangover. Hangovers are complicated physiologically. And despite products that make such claims, nothing else will either.However, dehydration is a significant part of what makes you feel cr*p and alcohol is accompanied by specific fluid, sodium and magnesium loss. REPOWR will make a big difference to how you feel, and how you perform the next day. Many customers attest to it firsthand.We suggest taking 1 sachet mixed in 750ml water during or after alcohol consumption, but before going to sleep. Repeat that when you wake up, if you're not feeling your best. The earlier you start re-hydration, the better you will be.Dr Andrew Huberman's recommendation is two glasses of water with electrolytes per alcoholic drink. REPOWR has more electrolytes and requires more water than most. Dr Huberman's equivalent would be 1 sachet of REPOWR with 750ml of water for every 4 drinks. Your body will thank you.Take a look at our article for information on this topic.

Question 13

What is different about RAW?

Accepted Answer

REPOWR RAW is our unsweetened, flavourless electrolyte, stripped down to the absolute basics. It has exactly the same quantity and ratio of sodium, potassium and magnesium as our flavoured product, but it doesn't have stevia, flavour, citric acid, sodium citrate or calcium carbonate.REPOWR RAW doesn't dissolve quite as well, so give it an extra shake or stir if you're using plain water. It doesn't hurt to shake or swirl your bottle as you drink, just to ensure you get all the electrolytes.RAW doesn't taste the best - it isn't designed to. It's not a bad taste, but it takes getting used to. So, buy it for the function, not the taste. And feel free to add it to coffee, bone broth, smoothies pre-workouts or flavoured energy supplements. Or just drink it with plain water. Try adding some fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
