Citric acid is found in citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and limes and is a natural preservative. Citric acid is also used to add an acidic (sour) taste to foods and soft drinks. We use citric acid in our hydration tablets to create a refreshing citrus taste.

Tapioca syrup solids are dried powders made from tapioca syrup. Tapioca syrup solids are used in many food products to bind elements together and to aid in mouthfeel without affecting overall taste. We use organic tapioca syrup solids in our hydration tablets as a binder for all of the ingredients so they can be pressed into a tablet.

Cane sugar is made by squeezing rich molasses juices from sugarcane stalks and then subjecting this liquid to an evaporation process until it reaches its final crystallized form. We use organic cane sugar in our hydration tablets as a binder for all of the ingredients so they can be pressed into a tablet.

The term “natural flavors” refers to flavor molecules derived from natural food sources vs. “artificial flavors” that are derived from petroleum or other inedible sources. We use the following natural flavors in our hydration tablets to achieve specific flavor profiles: lemon, lime, orange, strawberry and grapefruit.

Malic acid is a fruity acid found naturally in apples and pears and belongs to a family of compounds known as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). Malic acid is used in foods and supplements to add a tart taste, which is why we used it in our hydration tablets.

Stevia leaf extract is made by extracting the sweet compounds in the leaves of the stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant, commonly known as “Stevia.” The extracts, called steviol glycosides are about 300 times sweeter than table sugar, so very little needs to be used to make foods and drinks sweeter. We use organic stevia leaf extract instead of artificial sweeteners like saccharin or aspartame to arrive at just the right sweetness levels for our Jele hydration tablets.

Vegetable juice color is derived from dehydrated vegetable juice and used in foods and drinks as a natural coloring. The FDA regulates and approves which ingredients from vegetable and plant materials can be used as a food coloring. We use beet juice concentrate in our Jele hydration tablets instead of artificial food dyes made from petroleum. The natural and appealing colors that our hydration tablets give to plain water, makes the flavor easily identifiable by its color.

Beet juice concentrate is…concentrated beet juice! It is used by food and supplement manufacturers as a natural coloring. The FDA regulates and approves which ingredients from vegetable and plant materials can be used as a food coloring. We use beet juice concentrate in our Jele hydration tablets instead of artificial food dyes made from petroleum. The natural and appealing colors that our hydration tablets give to plain water, makes the flavor easily identifiable by its color.

Avocado oil is oil pressed from avocados. It is known to help digestion and absorption of vitamins and nutrients in our bodies, which is why it is part of the formulation for our Jele hydration tablets.

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, can be found in food sources like eggs, green vegetables, meat, almonds and milk and other dairy products. In powder form, riboflavin has an orange-yellow appearance and it is part of the formulation in our Orange and Fruit Punch flavors of Jele hydration tablets. The riboflavin we use is not animal-derived; it is made from a corn starch / fermentation process.

Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is blue in its powder form. Spirulina is used as a dietary supplement because it contains B vitamins and vitamin E, as well as antioxidants and other minerals. Spirulina is FDA-approved as a safe food dye and we use it in our Jele hydration tablets instead of artificial food dyes made from petroleum. The natural and appealing colors that our hydration tablets give to plain water, makes the flavor easily identifiable by its color.
