Our Mission
We believe that hydration should do more than just quench your thirst - it should support your body in the way it's meant to function. That's why we created NaK Water, a supplement designed to keep you hydrated the responsible way by providing the right balance of sodium and potassium, without overloading your system with unnecessary additives or excess salt.
Why NaK?
Balanced Electrolytes
The most important aspect of hydration is the balance of electrolytes within the body. Together, sodium and potassium work to regulate the body’s water levels. Imbalances, such as high sodium and low potassium, can lead to dehydration and other health issues. Low potassium can also lead to losses in muscle function, bone strength and nerve signaling.
Simple, Natural Ingredients
We don't overcomplicate things. Our ingredients are naturally and ethically sourced, giving you peace of mind while rejuvenating your body.
Higher Ratio of Potassium to Sodium
Most people exceed the daily recommended sodium limit of 2,300 mg while falling short of the ideal potassium intake of 4,700 mg. NaK is formulated to provide an optimal potassium-to-sodium ratio, promoting better hydration while helping to increase potassium intake and reduce sodium consumption.
Overall Health and Wellness
A lower sodium-to-potassium ratio in the diet is linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular events, with a ratio of 1.26 or higher increasing the risk by 2.62 times. NaK is dedicated to supporting longevity, formulated with a sodium-to-potassium ratio of just .10.
Supports Gut Microbiota, Immune Responses, and Brain Health
Dietary shifts from pre-agricultural times to the modern era have significantly impacted gut health. Ancestral diets, rich in potassium, supported diverse gut microbiota and overall well-being. Modern sodium-rich diets have been linked to negative effects on the gut-brain axis and immune system, leading to various health challenges. NaK is formulated to bring this balance back into your life, offering a hydration solution that’s high in potassium and low in sodium, promoting gut health and a stronger immune system.
Our Team
NaK Water was developed by a team of philanthropic entrepreneurs dedicated to using science for the betterment of health and society. Here's a little about us both:
Jared Richardson
I grew up all over the world as my family moved to support my father's engineering career, with sports as my only constant. I played football, basketball, and baseball at three different high schools and continued my football career at Dakota State University. After earning my degree in Biology and Chemistry, I attended Veterinary School at Oregon State. Halfway through, I shifted my focus to broader scientific pursuits and moved to Northern Colorado where I co-founded NaK Water, merging my love for sports, health, and science.
Kenneth Cordain
My passion for understanding the impact of what we consume on our well-being has shaped much of my life. Over time, I noticed significant shortcomings in the hydration supplements available on the market—products that often failed to align with the body’s natural needs. This realization inspired me to take action. Co-founding NaK Water allowed me to channel this passion into creating a hydration solution designed to work in harmony with human physiology, setting a new benchmark for health-conscious hydration.
