Our sachets contain a small amount of natural sugars derived from Sea Buckthorn, a nutrient-dense berry known for its exceptional health benefits. These minimal natural sugars are accompanied by a rich supply of vitamins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients that support overall well-being. The rest of our range, however, features a zero-sugar formula, ensuring you get pure hydration with natural sweetness from thaumatin—without any sugar at all.

Discover the natural sweetness of thaumatin, a superior alternative to sucralose. Sourced from the Katemfe fruit, thaumatin is a protein-based sweetener that delivers an intense, pure sweetness without the chemical aftertaste associated with artificial sweeteners like sucralose. Unlike sucralose, thaumatin is entirely natural, making it a healthier choice for those seeking to avoid synthetic additives. Additionally, thaumatin not only sweetens but also enhances flavors, ensuring a richer taste experience. Thaumatin is also used in Body Armour Concentrate and Icy poles.

Typical hydration drinks have a whopping 35g of sugar per serve! This is about 70% of your recommended daily sugar intake.

When a person has a blood sugar spike e.g. drinking a sugary drink, the body “borrows” water from other areas to balance out the volume in the cells, which negatively impacts cellular hydration and can further exacerbate dehydration - brain fog and fatigue. Increased blood sugar also causes excess urination to get rid of the excess sugar, excreting key electrolytes and being counter productive to the goal of hydrating the body.

Synthetic food dyes, long perceived as safe, have come under scrutiny following recent research, including a 2023 evaluation by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest. Studies have linked dyes like Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 to serious health risks, including cancer, organ damage, and behavioural issues in children. Many of these dyes are banned in several countries overseas due to their harmful effects.

At Body Armour, we prioritise consumer safety by avoiding synthetic dyes altogether. Instead, we use natural alternatives like curcumin, blue spirulina, and beta-carotene, which not only provide vibrant colours but also offer health benefits such as supporting the immune system and eye health. This approach aligns with our mission to optimise performance and recovery while ensuring our formulations are as safe and effective as possible.
