Why is Active Water the ideal thirst quencher?
At Orangefit, we create products that Orangefitters need! We noticed an increasing demand for a refreshing and responsible thirst quencher for during exercise and daily use, so we got to work!
If you use Orangefit's protein, collagen, vitamins, and/or meal replacement shakes, you'll definitely want a thirst quencher like Orangefit too! We get it! ;)
In this article, we'll first give you a reminder of why hydration is so important and then tell you why Active Water is the ideal thirst quencher!
Why hydration is important
55% to 60% of your body is made up of water. We lose some of this throughout the day, especially during exercise when we sweat heavily! So, it's no surprise that it's important to get enough water.
When your body's water content drops by 1%, your performance can decrease by 10% (1). But that's not all: not hydrating enough can lead to fatigue (even at home or work) and increases the risk of muscle injuries. You can also overheat when the outside temperature is very high, with all the consequences that come with it.
The perfect sports drink and daily thirst quencher
Our refreshing new product Orangefit Active Water is the best thirst quencher for almost every sport and a healthy lifestyle. Our sports drink is also known as a hypotonic drink by experts. It's low in carbohydrates, low in sugars, low in calories, absorbed the fastest of all drinks, and can be consumed at any time!
But shouldn't a sports drink contain a lot of carbohydrates and sugars? Nope! You only need extra carbohydrates and sugars for an intensive effort that lasts longer than 90 minutes (2). So if you exercise for a shorter period, you don't need extra carbohydrates and sugars. And if you want a thirst quencher for home or the office, you certainly don't want to drink unnecessary extra sugars! 😄
Hydrate the 'Orangefit Way'
But our thirst quencher is much more than just another hypotonic drink! Active Water also replenishes nutrients (electrolytes) that you lose during exercise or sweating (3).
The four most important nutrients are magnesium, calcium, potassium, and sodium. You lose all of these through sweat (3). Your body doesn't have a reserve supply of these substances, so you need to replenish them yourself. With Orangefit Active Water, you can do so in a refreshing way.
More and more people are finding it important to take care of their bodies. That's why Active Water also contains plant-based BCAAs in the ideal 2:1:1 ratio, in addition to important electrolytes. BCAAs are essential amino acids and are also known as the building blocks of your body. Perfect for an active lifestyle!
"Isn't regular water enough then?"
"Just water is certainly good for you! We even recommend drinking 90% water. But in this case, it's a matter of good, better, best: water is a good way to hydrate, but Orangefit Active Water is the best way!
Because of the aforementioned additions, Active Water is the best choice during exercise and on hot summer days. In addition, you can drink Active Water once or twice a day at home or at the office and the rest of the time just drink water. Because you want the best for your body or just want to taste a nice flavor.
We'll list the most important differences for you again:
- Active Water is absorbed faster than plain water.
- Active Water replenishes electrolytes lost during sweating.
- Active Water contains plant-based BCAAs.
- Active Water has a nice flavor.
- Plain water is practically free, Active Water costs 0.75 euros 😉"
"How does it work?"
As you might expect from us, Active Water also comes in powder form. Fill your shaker, water bottle, glass, or sports bottle with water and add one scoop. Shake or stir and you're done!
