The science behind Recuperol.
Clean ingredients, real testing, evidence-based dosing.
Why more potassium than sodium.
Most electrolyte drinks are built around sodium. Lots of salt, a splash of flavour, and a pitch that says "hydration." The trouble is, most people in the UK already eat plenty of sodium. What tends to be in shorter supply is potassium.
A Recuperol sachet flips the ratio: 300mg potassium versus 195mg sodiumi. That single detail is what makes the drink safe to have up to four times a day, rather than treating it like a "post-workout only" sports drink.
The formula is also hypotonici, which means the fluid moves out of your gut and into your body faster than a sugar-heavy isotonic drink. Less sweetness, more hydration, smaller blood-sugar hit.
300mg potassium to 195mg sodium per sachet. 25mg Vitamin C, 5mcg Vitamin D3, 2.5mcg B12, 2mg zinc alongside.
What third-party testing actually means.
"Tested" is a word that gets used a lot in supplements. The honest version of it is narrow: an independent laboratory runs a batch of product and reports what it finds, free from any marketing pressure.
Our Clean Magnesium 3-in-1 goes to Eurofinsi, an independent global testing network, on every batch. The magnesium assay checks label-claim accuracy: you get the elemental magnesium the label says.
You can ask for a certificate of analysisi on any tested batch. The document is the whole point of third-party testing. It means nobody has to take our word for it.
Clean Magnesium independently tested by Eurofins, every batch. Certificates of analysis available on request.
Clean formulation, in every capsule.
A lot of magnesium supplements rely on magnesium oxide, which is cheap and easy to compress into a pill. It's also poorly absorbed, with studies suggesting less than 4% bioavailability in some cases.
Clean Magnesium 3-in-1 uses three chelated forms instead: Magnesium Bisglycinate (our gentle, well-tolerated lead form), Magnesium Malate (an easy daytime form), and Magnesium Citrate (highly soluble and well-absorbed). Together they deliver 288mg of elemental magnesium per three-capsule serving. That's 77% of the UK daily Nutrient Reference Valuei.
There are no oxide forms. No magnesium stearate as a flow agent. No buffers to mask absorption, and no filler ingredients to bulk out the capsule. Every listed milligram is in a form your body can actually absorb.
288mg elemental magnesium per 3-capsule serving. 1,050mg Bisglycinate + 525mg Malate + 525mg Citrate. Vegan, third-party tested, made in Britain.
