Cadence’s precision hydration system, fused with the uncompromising ethos of RAW.
True performance doesn’t start with the rep, the mile, or the race.
It starts with daily discipline, from the ground up.
Electrolyte Formula
Sodium (500mg)
Sodium plays a pivotal role in hydration. It increases fluid absorption, fluid retention, maintains electrolyte balance and stimulates thirst, thus increasing fluid intake. Research shows that drinks containing sodium can improve endurance, mood, and reaction times, whilst reducing the risk of cramps and hyponatremia.
Potassium (190mg)
Potassium works closely with sodium to maintain normal cellular fluid balance, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. Potassium chloride specifically may counteract the effects of too much sodium, maintaining a healthy electrolyte balance.
Magnesium (30mg)
Magnesium is imperative for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those that produce and use ATP, the body's energy currency. It aids hydration by moving water into cells, essential for muscle function, energy, and performance.
Product Benefits
Physical Performance
Hydration with electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium, has been found to aid athletic performance during prolonged exercise.
Studies suggest that maintaining hydration is key for performance in strength, power, and high-intensity endurance based exercise.
Cognitive Performance
Adequate hydration with magnesium has been linked to maintenance of normal brain function.
Studies have shown that increased levels of brain magnesium may affect brain activity by influencing neurotransmitter release, which can improve cognitive functions such as memory and attention.
Muscle Recovery
Electrolytes, especially magnesium, may play a significant role in post-exercise recovery.
Studies have shown that magnesium supplementation may significantly reduce muscle soreness and perceived exertion, as well as improve perceived recovery.
When to use Core 500
The Core 500 RTD can be used at any time of the day. We are generally more dehydrated upon waking, so you may find some benefit to consuming our hydration drinks first thing in the morning. We also suggest that you use Core 500 after high intensity training to replace the fluids and electrolytes lost in sweat. For more information, take a look at our article on hydration strategies.
FAQs
What electrolytes does Core 500 contain?
Core 500 contains three key electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium, formulated to support hydration and electrolyte balance in the body.
How is hydrating with Core 500 better than drinking plain water?
Hydration with Core 500 is more effective because it not only provides the water your body needs but also the essential electrolytes in a science-backed ratio to help maintain normal cellular water distribution, muscle contractions, and nerve signalling, unlike plain water that only addresses fluid intake without replenishing lost electrolytes. Be sure to explore our article on how electrolytes hydrate better than plain water for more information.
How many servings of Core 500 can I drink per day?
Core 500 electrolyte consumption is highly dependent on the individual. It is important to note that Core 500 is meant to supplement your electrolyte intake; it should not be your sole source of electrolytes. We recommend that you acquire most of your electrolytes from whole food sources, however you can supplement with 2 -3 cans per day, depending on your activity level. For any specific guidance on daily salt intake, you should consult your doctor.
Additionally, if you are pregnant or nursing, taking any prescription medications or have any pre-existing medical conditions, please consult a medical professional before consumption and use only as directed.
How should I use Core 500?
You can consume Core 500 at any time of the day.
We are generally more dehydrated upon waking, so you may find some benefit to drinking it in the morning. We also suggest that you consume the electrolyte drink after high intensity training to compensate for lost water and electrolytes through sweat.
