That's why we created NaK Water, a supplement designed to keep you hydrated the responsible way by providing the right balance of sodium and potassium, without overloading your system with unnecessary additives or excess salt.

Fluid and Electrolyte Balance
Fluid and electrolyte balance is crucial for maintaining homeostasis in the body, regulating cellular function, blood volume, and overall metabolism. Sodium (Na+) and Potassium (K+) are key electrolytes that maintain this balance, particularly through their roles in the extracellular and...

Evolution of the Human Diet
The early human diet favored foods rich in potassium, found abundantly in plant-based foods, while sodium was scarce. Our kidneys are adapted to handle high potassium intakes efficiently, excreting most of it through urine. This balance supported diverse gut microbiota and optimal health.
In contrast, modern diets have flipped this ratio, leading to excess sodium intake and insufficient potassium consumption. This shift negatively impacts the...
