Well, aside from being wheat free, gluten free, gelatine free and vegetarian, the naturally occurring electrolytes in Sharkies come from the potassium in the fruit juice and the sodium in the rice and water. These are not the commercial electrolytes currently used in a lot of products, as the source of most of those is sodium citrate and potassium phosphate. This makes them commercially processed and generally low quality. The grape juice, which is a simple sugar, offers a quick burst of energy and the brown rice syrup is a complex carbohydrate which offers longer sustained energy. The electrolytes allow for the absorption of water and help to keep you hydrated.
Although children can and will consume Sharkies as a “better for you” alternative to lollies, none of the sugars found in Sharkies are refined and half the product is rice syrup giving it complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. This added to the simple sugars from the fruit and organic cane make Sharkies a functional, healthy alternative to products high in fructose corn syrup, sucrose or further refined sugars, and also has the benefit of not leaving you “crashing” after those refined sugars wear off. |
