Nothing Naughty Low Carb Hydration is a sugar-free electrolyte drink mix made by Nothing Naughty in Tīrau, New Zealand. Each 16g scoop, mixed with 200ml of water, delivers five electrolytes — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride — for 20 kJ and 0g sugar. 32 serves per pack, in Tropical or Blackcurrant & Apple.
Sugar-free hydration with five electrolytes
A naturally sweetened electrolyte mix — 382mg of electrolytes, 0g sugar and just 20 kJ per serve.
Sweat takes more than water
You lose minerals when you sweat. Training, hiking or a hot Tīrau afternoon all draw water and dissolved minerals — electrolytes — out of your body. Plain water replaces the fluid; an electrolyte mix puts back sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride alongside it.
382mg of electrolytes, no sugar. One 16g serve delivers 80mg sodium, 93mg potassium, 151mg chloride, 39mg calcium and 19mg magnesium — about 382mg of electrolytes in 200ml of water, for 0g sugar and 20 kJ. It's an everyday way to top up your fluids without a sugary sports drink.

Questions, answered
What electrolytes are in Low Carb Hydration?
Each 16g serve provides five electrolytes: 151mg chloride, 93mg potassium, 80mg sodium, 39mg calcium and 19mg magnesium — about 382mg of electrolytes in total, mixed with 200ml of water. The amounts are identical in both Tropical and Blackcurrant & Apple.
Is it really sugar-free?
Yes. The nutrition panel lists 0.0g sugars per serve. Sweetness comes from erythritol (14.9g) and a trace of thaumatin, both naturally derived, so one serve carries just 0.3g carbohydrate and 20 kJ of energy. That low-carb profile is why it suits keto and low-carb eating.
How do I mix it?
Add one 16g scoop to 200ml of cold water and stir or shake until it dissolves. A compostable scoop is included in every pack, and there are 32 serves per pack. Drink during or after exercise, on hot days, or whenever you want to top up your fluids.
Why does the label mention a laxative effect?
It's sweetened with erythritol, a sugar alcohol (polyol). Like all polyols, erythritol can have a laxative effect if you have a lot at once, so the pack carries the advisory ‘excess consumption may have a laxative effect’. Sticking to one 16g scoop per serve keeps you well within that.
Does it contain any allergens?
No allergens are added to the recipe, but it's made in a facility that also handles other products, so the pack states it may contain milk, soy, lupin, almonds, cashews, peanuts and egg. Because milk is a ‘may contain’, we don't describe it as dairy-free or vegan.
What's the difference between the two flavours?
Only the flavour and the natural colour. Tropical uses natural colour 160a; Blackcurrant & Apple uses natural colour 163. The electrolyte and nutrition figures — sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, energy and carbohydrate — are identical in both flavours.
Is this a food or a sports supplement?
It's a food — an everyday electrolyte drink mix, not a medicine. Made in New Zealand by Nothing Naughty, it's designed to help replace electrolytes and fluid lost through sweat, as part of a normal diet and your usual fluid intake.
This is a food, not a medicine. Mix and use as directed, as part of a balanced diet and adequate fluid intake.
Allergen & advisory: May contain milk, soy, lupin, almonds, cashews, peanuts and egg. Excess consumption may have a laxative effect.
