Nuun Review and My First GIVEAWAY!!!




Now let me tell you...this is not a big giveaway but it one that I Love (I almost feel like Oprah)...and really who doesn't love FREE stuff!

I have struggled for quite some time with finding a balance on my runs with gastro issues...Nuun active hydration has been the answer for me...after reading some blogs I began to see a lot of people were using the nuun with great results...I picked up a Try-Berry pack and have been hooked since...I have used it for tempo runs, mid-distance and longer distance runs...all with success! I like that it is sugar free...I love that it is easy to use...before if I ran out of sport drink I used to just be able to fill up with water from the city park fountains...now I can do that but add a Nuun tablet which is so easy to carry...I have noticed that I have more energy on runs, no cramps and actually look forward to my walk breaks so that I can hydrate!


What is Nuun?

It is an amazing tablet that you pop into your water and turns it into a complex electrolyte enhanced drink that is sugar free. It recharges your salts, it's refreshing, tasty (very light) and also more efficiently absorbed than water or other sports drinks. What makes the tablets so great is that they are easy to carry with you when you run they have a ton of flavours(lemon + lime, Tri-Berry, Banananuun, Kona-Kola, Citrus Fruits, and Orange Ginger).If you want to learn more go here: Nuun

It can be difficult to find in Canada right now but MEC carries Nuun as well if you are from London you can go to Novacs

  1. Thanks for the info. I have also had issues finding a good product that is sugar free. I like the sound of the tablet, how easy is that. Great idea! I'm all about yummy, fruity flavours.

  2. Great review Lish. I think I will have to give this a try as you are aware I've started to have issues after our 1/2 marathon distances. I think the Tri-Berry flavour sounds yummy. 'm so happy you have found something that has worked for you and hopefully will be the answer for many others.
