Frequently Asked Questions

Ingobio Electrolyte is an **electrolyte replacement drink** developed to prevent and quickly replace **mild to moderate dehydration** (loss of water and electrolytes) caused by active living, sports, hot weather, and sweating.
Its formula contains Potassium (K⁺), Magnesium (Mg²⁺), Calcium (Ca²⁺), and Sodium (Na⁺) in optimal ratios.

Ingobio Electrolyte contains **4 main electrolytes** that the body needs:
• Potassium (K⁺)
• Magnesium (Mg²⁺)
• Calcium (Ca²⁺)
• Sodium (Na⁺)

These minerals play a critical role in muscle contraction, nerve transmission, heart rhythm, fluid balance, and overall performance.

**No, absolutely not.**
In the formula of Ingobio Electrolyte:
• Artificial flavor
• Artificial sweetener
• Artificial coloring
• Synthetic preservative
**Are not used.**

Flavors and colors come from natural plant extracts and fruit flavors.

Stevia is a natural plant commonly known as "sugar herb." The natural sweetener obtained from its leaves:
• Is approximately **300 times sweeter** than classic sugar,
• **Contains no calories**,
• Has minimal effect on blood sugar.

It is used in Ingobio formulas to provide sweetness without adding extra sugar load.

The preparation is quite practical:
1. Pour one packet of Ingobio Electrolyte into a bottle or glass.
2. Add **about 400 ml of water** on top.
3. Stir or shake until completely dissolved.

It is more refreshing and enjoyable when prepared with cold water.

Yes. Ingobio Electrolyte:
• Is refreshing and cooling with **cold water**,
• Can also be easily prepared with warm or slightly hot water.

However, it offers a much more enjoyable experience, especially when consumed **cold and with ice** after sports.

Yes, it can be used in suitable combinations:
• Provides energy + electrolyte balance in long races with **PowerGel**.
• Using it together with **IsoCarbo** is ideal for both carbohydrate and electrolyte loading.
• Together with **Maximum Carbohydrate Powder**, it helps to fill carbohydrate stores before long training sessions.

It is always beneficial to plan considering total carbohydrate and caffeine intake.

Common symptoms of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance include:
• Headache
• Muscle cramps and spasms
• Fatigue, weakness, exhaustion
• Difficulty concentrating
• Excessive thirst
• Feeling of heart palpitations
• Mental fog / drowsiness
• Weakness after diarrhea or constipation

If these symptoms are present, water and electrolyte support is needed. In severe cases, a doctor should be consulted.

**No.**
Ingobio Electrolyte formula contains:
• Soy
• Gluten (considered gluten-free if below 5 ppm in tests)
• MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)
• Caffeine
• Stimulant / doping substance
• Synthetic coloring / sweetener / flavor
**Does not contain.**

Therefore, it appeals to a very wide user group.

Anyone over the age of 4 without an additional health problem can use it. Especially:
• Runners, cyclists, triathletes
• Team athletes (football, basketball, volleyball, etc.)
• Those doing fitness, cross-training, functional training
• Those working in hot environments
• Long-distance drivers, pilots, frequent travelers
• Those mentally fatigued during exams and intense work periods
• Those needing fluid and mineral support after diarrhea or flu

It is recommended that those with chronic illnesses consult their doctor.

• **Diabetics**: Generally tolerable due to low sugar content, but since each diabetic's condition is different, **it should be used with doctor approval**.
• **Kidney patients**: Must consult a **nephrology specialist** before use due to the critical nature of electrolyte balance for them.
• **Heart patients**: Since minerals like sodium and potassium are related to heart functions, **it should not be used without cardiologist approval**.

General recommendation:
• For daily light to moderate activity: **1 packet**
• On intense training, competition, or very sweaty days: **2 packets**

The frequency of use in professional athletes can be increased according to the training/competition plan, but the total daily intake of fluids, electrolytes, and carbohydrates should be balanced.

Ingobio Electrolyte can be used in all three phases:
• **Before training / competition**: To balance fluid and electrolyte stores,
• **During training / competition**: To replace electrolytes lost through sweating,
• **After training**: To support recovery, prevent headaches and cramps.

In long activities, using it **every 60–90 minutes** can be a good strategy.

• High and balanced electrolyte content (K⁺, Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺)
• Does not contain artificial sweeteners, flavors, colorings, and preservatives
• Hypotonic and **low osmolality**: Fast absorption and quick hydration
• Sugar content that does not upset the stomach
• Sweetened with natural stevia

It has a much more **natural, light, and quickly absorbed** formula compared to classic sports/energy drinks.

**IsoCarbo** is an **isotonic sports drink** that contains high carbohydrates and electrolytes.
• Provides **carbohydrate + electrolyte** support during moments requiring long-term performance.
• Especially ideal for sports like cycling, marathon, triathlon.

**Electrolyte**, on the other hand, primarily focuses on **electrolyte and fluid balance**.
In short:
• **IsoCarbo = Energy (carbohydrate) + electrolyte**
• **Electrolyte = Pure electrolyte + minimal sugar**

Ingobio PowerGel; is a **carbohydrate gel** that provides quick energy during running, cycling, triathlon, and high-intensity training.

• 1 gel contains approximately **50 g** and averages **26.5 g of carbohydrates**.
• The Espresso and Cherry flavored varieties contain **caffeine** (especially to support alertness and perception).
• The Lemon Mint and Mango flavored gel varieties are **caffeine-free**.

Usage:
• In activities longer than 45–60 minutes,
• Especially in parts that increase pace,
• Can be preferred at the "start" moment before the race or before a hill/interval.

**Maximum Carbohydrate Powder:**
• Ideal for filling carbohydrate stores before training or competition,
• For energy support before long rides / long runs or during the day.

**Reco Whey Protein (Strawberry Cookie / Chocolate):**
• For muscle repair and recovery after training,
• Can be used to cover daily protein gaps.

**Casein (Night Protein):**
• Especially preferred in the evening and before sleep.
• Thanks to its slowly digestible protein structure, it provides **amino acid support throughout the night**.

Example simple usage:
• Before training: Maximum Carbohydrate Powder
• After training: Reco Whey
• Before bed: Casein

General table according to contents:

**Suitable for vegans/vegetarians (does not contain animal protein):**
• Ingobio Electrolyte series
• Maximum Carbohydrate Powder
• PowerGel varieties (do not contain animal content according to the formula)

**Contains animal protein (not suitable for vegans):**
• Reco Whey Protein (contains Whey + Caseinate, milk-based)
• Casein (Completely milk-based protein)

In case of lactose sensitivity or vegan diet, **Electrolyte, Maximum, and PowerGel** can be prioritized.

• **Electrolyte, Maximum Carbohydrate Powder, and PowerGel** products do not contain lactose; they are generally tolerated by those with lactose intolerance.
• **Reco Whey and Casein** may cause complaints in **lactose and milk protein-sensitive individuals** because they contain milk proteins.

If there is lactose intolerance or milk allergy, these products should definitely be used after consulting a **doctor or dietitian**.

The most suitable product for nighttime recovery and muscle repair:
• **Casein (Calcium Caseinate-based product)**

Thanks to its slowly digestible structure, it provides a **balanced amino acid flow** to the muscles throughout sleep. It can be used especially before bed during intense training periods.
