Performance Electrolytes Kiwi by GEN
The kiwi variant of Performance Electrolytes is a powder that goes beyond a standard thirst quencher. Per 20-gram serving, you get 2257 mg of electrolytes from magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride, supplemented with 3800 mg of citrulline malate, 1400 mg of taurine, coconut water powder, red beet extract (Sabeet®), Senactiv®, and vitamins B1 and B6. You can easily drink the fresh, green kiwi flavor during or after your workout. This gives you more than just salt in water: a broader formula to support your exercise.
The fresh kiwi flavor in practice
Kiwi is a summery, slightly tart flavor that works well in cold water. Stir 20 grams of powder (one scoop) into 500 ml of water to create a clear, fresh drink. Because it contains no sugar and each serving provides only 10 kcal, it remains a light drink, even when consumed during a tough workout. The kiwi flavor is fresh enough to drink multiple times a day without becoming too sweet. Serve it well chilled to bring out its fresh notes. If you prefer something citrusy, there is an orange-lime variant with the exact same formula. This allows you to alternate without compromising on the composition. The kiwi flavor is deliberately not overly sweet, making it pleasant to keep drinking during a long session.
