What are electrolytes, really?
Electrolytes are charged minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride that help your body send nerve signals, contract muscles, balance fluids, and produce energy at a cellular level. When these levels drop, you can feel it as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, or muscle cramps—even if you’ve been drinking water.
Why do I need electrolytes if I already drink water?
Electrolytes are essential minerals that help your body actually use the water you drink, supporting fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle function at a cellular level. In Hong Kong’s mix of humidity, air‑con, caffeine, and long days, you lose these minerals faster, so topping them up helps you stay clear‑headed, energised, and properly hydrated—not just “not thirsty.”
What’s inside NOMI?
Each NOMI sachet contains Himalayan sea salt and coconut water powder, plus 550 mg sodium, 400 mg chloride, 200 mg potassium, and 50 mg magnesium for effective hydration. You also get Vitamin C, Vitamin D2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin K2 to support immunity, energy, and long‑term health, with zero sugar and a formula gentle enough for daily use.
How is NOMI different from sports drinks or other electrolyte powders?
Most sports drinks use lots of sugar or artificial sweeteners and often underdose key minerals like sodium and potassium. NOMI focuses on clinically relevant electrolytes and essential vitamins in a low‑calorie, zero‑sugar formula tailored to everyday life in Hong Kong, without the artificial colours, heavy sweetness, or gut‑disruptive additives you find in many mass‑market options.
How do I use NOMI?
Mix one sachet with 550–700 ml of cold water, shake, and sip—once a day is a great starting point, then adjust to your needs. Make it part of your routine on packed workdays, after or during exercise, when you’re travelling, after a big night out, or anytime you’re just feeling a bit drained and need hydrating support that actually makes a difference.
When is the best time to drink NOMI?
You can drink NOMI whenever you need smarter hydration: first thing in the morning, before or after workouts, during long days at the office, on hot or humid days, or when you’re travelling and out of your normal routine. Many people in Hong Kong find it especially helpful on days with lots of air‑con, caffeine, or alcohol, when dehydration and mineral loss sneak up more easily.
How many sachets can I have per day?
For most healthy adults, 1–2 sachets per day is a sensible range, depending on your activity level, how much you sweat, and your overall diet. If you have kidney issues, high blood pressure, or other medically restricted diet, speak to your healthcare professional before using electrolyte products regularly.
Can I use NOMI every day?
Yes- NOMI is designed to be gentle enough for daily use, with no sugar and no junk.
How can NOMI be zero sugar but still taste good?
We leave out sugar and artificial sweeteners completely to avoid blood‑sugar spikes, energy crashes, and gut disruption. Instead, we use natural Stevia leaf extract to deliver a smooth, zero‑sugar sweetness without the crash or lingering aftertaste you might associate with older‑style sweeteners. We spent a long time in fine-tuning the taste - a delicious formula was a key priority for us!
Can I take NOMI while fasting?
NOMI is designed to be fasting‑friendly: it has zero sugar and very minimal calories, so it won’t meaningfully raise blood sugar or spike insulin for most people. Many people use electrolyte drinks like NOMI during intermittent fasting to reduce headaches, dizziness, and fatigue by maintaining electrolyte balance while their digestive system rests.
Is NOMI suitable for low‑carb, keto, or low‑sugar diets?
Yes—NOMI contains zero sugar and is a great fit for low‑sugar, low‑carb, and keto‑style approaches where you want hydration support without hidden sugars. Electrolyte support is especially important when you reduce carbs, as your body tends to shed more water and minerals in the early stages of these diets.
Can I take NOMI while pregnant or breastfeeding?
While our ingredients are recognised as safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women, everyone’s health situation is different, so we always recommend checking with your doctor before adding any new supplement or functional drink. This is especially important if you have underlying health conditions, are on medication, or have been advised to limit your sodium intake.
Is NOMI vegan, gluten‑free, or dairy‑free?
NOMI does not contain any animal‑derived ingredients, gluten, or dairy, so it is generally suitable for vegan, gluten‑free, and lactose‑intolerant lifestyles. If you have specific allergies or sensitivities, always review the full ingredient list and consult your doctor if you’re unsure.
Why might I notice slight color or taste variations?
Minor differences in color or flavor can happen because we use mineral‑rich ingredients like Himalayan sea salt and coconut water powder, which are natural raw materials. These variations do not affect the quality, safety, or effectiveness of the product.
What’s the best way to store NOMI?
To ensure optimal freshness, store your NOMI sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Exposure to heat or moisture may cause some clumping or crystallisation, but the product remains safe and effective to drink as long as it is within its expiry date.
Do NOMI sachets expire?
Yes, like all food and supplement products, NOMI sachets have a best‑before date printed on the packaging. For best taste and potency, use your sachets before this date and store them properly in a cool, dry environment.
