Common Questions
Electrolytes are essential minerals that carry an electrical charge in the body. Think sodium, potassium and magnesium. They help regulate hydration, nerve signals, muscle movement, and mental clarity. Without them, water alone doesn’t do much beyond passing straight through you.
Electrolytes help your body absorb and retain the water you drink. They support energy, focus, mood, muscle function and overall balance. Even mild dehydration (as little as 1–2%) can affect concentration and reaction time, which is why electrolytes matter far beyond the gym.
If you eat a perfectly balanced diet and hydrate optimally every day, you might not. But national data shows only around 17% of UK adults meet recommended nutritional guidelines. Add in busy schedules, coffee, stress, travel, screens, and air-conditioned offices, and many of us are quietly under-hydrated. That’s where gentle, daily electrolytes come in.
Not anymore. Traditional electrolyte drinks were designed for intense sweating and heavy salt loss. nonni is different. It’s low-salt and designed for everyday life: desk days, commutes, parents, creatives, travellers, and anyone who wants steady energy and clarity without stimulants.
Subtle ones. Brain fog, low energy, headaches, irritability, poor focus, muscle fatigue, or feeling thirsty despite drinking water. These are often blamed on tiredness or stress, but hydration imbalance is a common culprit.
Water is essential, but it needs minerals to be properly absorbed and retained. Without electrolytes, much of the water you drink is simply flushed out. Functional hydration pairs water with the minerals your body needs to actually use it.
Yes. nonni is formulated for daily use, with significantly lower sodium than traditional sports drinks. You’d need to drink around ten cans a day, alongside a balanced diet, to approach problematic sodium levels. Many alternatives get you there after two.
Whenever you want gentle support rather than a spike. Morning commutes, long work sessions, post-coffee resets, alcohol alternatives in the evening, or anytime you feel flat, foggy or dehydrated. nonni fits into real life, not rigid routines.
nonni contains no caffeine, artificial sweeteners or stimulants, and is low in sugar and salt. However, everyone’s needs are different during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so we always recommend checking with your GP, midwife or healthcare professional before introducing new supplements.
Under 20 calories per can. Functional fizz, not empty ones.
Generally, yes. nonni is designed to complement a balanced lifestyle, not replace it. If you are taking specific medical supplements or managing a health condition, it’s always best to check with a healthcare professional.
