The Science Behind N-2 Water
OUR FORMULA
CALCIUM
N-2 Water contains calcium sourced from calcified marine red algae, sustainably harvested from the North Atlantic seabed. This unique algae is naturally rich in bioavailable calcium, which is treated with organic acids to enhance its water solubility. Unlike common forms like calcium carbonate, this marine-sourced calcium is more easily absorbed by the body and provides additional health benefits.
MAGNESIUM
Our formula includes magnesium citrate, derived from seawater. The magnesium is obtained by reacting magnesium oxide from the ocean with citric acid, creating a highly soluble and bioavailable form of this essential mineral. Magnesium plays a key role in muscle function, hydration, and energy production.
SODIUM
N-2 Water uses ocean-harvested sea salt, delivering 500 mg of sodium per serving. This balanced sodium content enhances hydration at the cellular level without an overpowering salty taste. Compared to other electrolyte mixes, which can contain up to 1,000 mg of sodium per serving, our formula provides an optimal amount for effective hydration and daily use.
Why Use Calcium Derived from Seaweed Instead of Calcium Carbonate?
Calcium from red algae offers superior bioavailability and has been shown to provide several health benefits, including:
-
Bone Health : Studies have demonstrated that calcified red algae promotes stronger bones, particularly in menopausal women, by enhancing mineral absorption through prebiotic effects. This calcium source supports a healthy bone structure and helps prevent bone loss.
-
Digestive Health : Research shows that red algae calcium improves gut barrier integrity and impermeability, positively impacting the gut microbiome and supporting overall digestive health.
-
Joint Health : Red algae-derived calcium has been found to reduce osteoarthritis pain and symptoms more effectively than glucosamine, often allowing for a reduction in the use of NSAIDs
Conclusion
N-2 Water is more than just a hydration solution—it’s a powerful tool for enhancing your body’s overall health and wellness. By incorporating highly bioavailable, marine-sourced minerals, N-2 Water transforms everyday hydration into an opportunity to support bone, joint, digestive, and cellular health. Our commitment to natural, sustainable ingredients ensures that every serving delivers the vital nutrients your body needs without any artificial additives. Whether you're an athlete, a busy parent, or simply focused on your well-being, N-2 Water provides the essential minerals necessary to keep your body thriving.
