The clever people at Wassen sent us a new nutrient powder to try, promising to superpower our water...
I have tried my fair share of nutrients, shakes, tablets and powders so I was looking forwards to putting Wassen’s new powders to the test.
There are three new powdered nutrients; Hydrate + Replenish, Energy + Cognition and Relax + Unwind supplied in handy sachet form, that cuts out all that measuring, and a great glass bottle.
First on my list was Hydrate + Replenish, which I took before my morning personal training sessions to set me up for the day. It has spirulina and green tea extract, as well as contains your Vitamin D daily intake. It is formulated to support your immune health through a combo of selenium and Vitamin C, and electrolyte balance from magnesium, and metabolism from zinc and chromium. (Info from the packet!). It’s very green too.
Whilst very simple to make – add water to bottle, add powder, shake – my first mouthfuls were a bit grainy. So, my advice to you is to mix and leave for a few minutes and that made all the difference to me. A pleasant appley taste and you could tell it was packed with goodness.
For the mid-afternoon lull, shake, there’s Energy + Cognition, formulated with cinnamon, green tea extract and maca extract. With its blood orange flavour, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue thanks to magnesium, supports cognitive function with zinc and iodine and blood sugar level control from chromium.
I have to say my favourite of the day, taste wise and effectiveness, for me personally (and everyone will differ) is Relax + Unwind, the perfect complement to your relaxing bedtime routine. With a black cherry flavour and a hint of chamomile, it helps to support the nervous system with iodine and copper, psychological function from magnesium and provide optimal relaxation with lemon balm.
After a full on day I really enjoyed the black cherry taste. Not only did it ensure that I kept hydrated it really helped me relax before bed. I preferred the drink sachet to a tablet and the cool vibrant colour made it more inviting to drink. They are a great (and super-convenient) option for those looking to increase their intake of vitamins and minerals.
