Performance Electrolytes Orange-Lime by GEN

The orange-lime variant of Performance Electrolytes is a powder that goes beyond a standard sports drink. 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. The citrus mix of orange and lime gives a full, fresh taste that is easy to drink around your workout. This way, you get more than just salt in water: a broader formula for around your exercise.

The orange-lime citrus taste in practice

Orange-lime is a classic sports flavor: juicy and round from the orange, with a sharp, fresh touch of lime through it. You stir 20 grams of powder (one scoop) into 500 ml of cold water and get a clear citrus drink that tastes just a bit fuller than a pure lime variant. Without sugar and with only 10 kcal per serving, it remains light, even halfway through a tough workout. The citrus mix masks the slightly salty tone of the minerals well, making it pleasant to keep drinking. It is best served well chilled, as this brings out the orange and lime the best. If you prefer something greener and more summery, there is a kiwi variant with the same formula. This way, you can switch flavors without changing the composition. The lime keeps the drink fresh, while the orange makes it just a bit fuller than a plain citrus drink.

What is in Performance Electrolytes?

The base consists of five minerals that together provide 2257 mg of electrolytes per serving: 200 mg magnesium, 400 mg potassium, 900 mg sodium, 150 mg calcium, and 607 mg chloride. On top of that, there is 3800 mg of L-citrulline malate (2:1), of which 2530 mg is L-citrulline, plus 1400 mg of taurine and 2000 mg of coconut water powder. Sabeet® is a red beet extract with naturally occurring nitrates (5 mg nitrate per serving), and Senactiv® is a branded complex of Panax notoginseng extract and Rosa roxburghii fruit extract. Vitamins B1 (2 mg) and B6 (2 mg) complete the formula. The minerals are processed as citrate and chloride forms, and sucralose is used as a sweetener. Furthermore, there are 4.76 g of inulin fiber per serving. Inulin is a soluble fiber from, among others, chicory root and gives the drink a bit more body without adding sugar.

Electrolytes and B vitamins per serving

During sports, you lose fluid and minerals through sweat. This drink provides, among other things, magnesium, potassium, and calcium per serving. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance, the normal function of muscles and the nervous system, and the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. Potassium contributes to the normal function of muscles and the maintenance of normal blood pressure, and calcium contributes to the normal function of muscles. The same applies to the added B vitamins: vitamin B1 and B6 contribute to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, and vitamin B6 additionally contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness and the normal function of the immune system. In addition, a serving provides 900 mg of sodium and 607 mg of chloride.
