The Science
Restoring your electrolyte balance with optimal ratios of essential minerals.
The Benefits of Optimal Electrolyte Levels
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a crucial source of energy for all of our living cells, and it relies on electrolytes to maintain fluid balance and facilitate its production. Electrolytes themselves do not generate energy; however, they serve as co-factors that create an optimal environment for energy transfer in your body [1][2].
Insufficient electrolyte levels can result in lethargy, headaches and fatigue [3]. Electrolyte imbalances can also lead to sleep disturbances [4][5], elevate cortisol levels and contribute to adrenal fatigue [6].
Electrolytes
Electrolytes play a pivotal role in many of our vital bodily processes. This page will tell you everything you need to know about electrolytes and their function.
Our flagship supplement contains 4 of these essential minerals formulated to restore your energy and hydration levels.

Sodium
The Master Controller
Sodium has been wrongly vilified in many nutritional circles. Low sodium intake increases insulin resistance, worsens blood lipid profile, increases obesity, increases risk of heart disease, and is generally associated with higher all-cause mortality.
Sodium levels are maintained at an intake of around 3000 to 4000mg per day for most people [7]. You’ll find 1000mg in Naru Revive.
Magnesium
The Neuromuscular Maestro
Magnesium is the second most prevalent electrolyte in our bodies. In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 essential metabolic reactions in our bodies. Magnesium helps conduct the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats for energy.
Studies indicate that 180-320 mg per day is enough to maintain a positive magnesium balance, but 107 mg is not enough [8] [9] [10] [11]. Naru Revive contains 188mg of magnesium
Potassium
The Cardiovascular Guardian
Potassium is the yin to Sodium’s yang. The balance of these two electrolytes is incredibly important. Sodium and potassium are vital for efficient communication within the nervous system. Insufficient levels can result in lethargy, headaches, and fatigue [12].
Over 3,500 mg/day of Potassium is above the adequate intake for men and women [13]. Most importantly, you should aim for a 3:1 ratio of Potassium to Sodium [14].
Calcium
The Harmony Overseer
Calcium is commonly thought off for its role in bone health, but it's also essential for blood clotting and the proper functioning of the muscles, heart and nerves. When adults consume calcium as food or supplements, the average absorption rate is approximately 30%.
An intake of 2,000 mg has demonstrated a positive calcium balance of 450 mg in normal subjects [15]. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium is 2:1 both for daily dietary intake and supplementation [16]. Naru Revive provides 300mg.
