INFORMATION ON * ELECTROLYTE BLEND

Electrolytes are essential for the normal functioning of our cells. They don’t make our body’s operate, but they make them operate smoothly. 

The four main electrolytes include: sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride. These can be obtained from the diet, but supplementing with them is often necessary due to our nutrient depleted diets.

These minerals exist in our blood, in our cells and in the fluids in between and because they are charged (they carry an electrical voltage), their differing concentrations generate electrical gradients within the body. These gradients are what enable nerve impulses and muscle contractions to occur. That means for our hearts to beat and our bodies to move, we need electrolytes in their precise concentrations in our cells at all times. When these gradients aren’t formed properly due to an imbalance in electrolytes, these impulses and contractions are disrupted which can cause mild, short-term to severe, long-term symptoms.

The charged electrolytes also help to maintain fluid pressure of our cells and control the pH of our blood, regulating all of our cellular processes.

Staying hydrated

We often think of water as being the key to staying hydrated. While water is essential for hydration, these four electrolytes are what actually keep our cells hydrated. Our water used to come from the mountains and was rich in minerals but now it has to be distilled and purified to clear it from contaminants. These processes strip the essential minerals from the water. Plain water doesn’t make the cut anymore. When you feel thirsty, it is important to ensure you’re replenishing your electrolytes along with drinking water.

Replenish your electrolytes after exercise

Sodium and potassium are the two main electrolytes lost through sweat during exercise, although magnesium is too. However, even if you don’t sweat excessively whilst exercising, you also lose electrolytes through the breath. By sipping on electrolytes during and after workouts, you can prevent an imbalance in electrolytes and avoid dizziness, muscle cramping and dehydration.

Common signs of electrolyte deficiency include:

• Dizziness

• Muscle cramps

• Irregular heart beats/arrhythmias

• Confusion

What causes electrolyte depletion:

• Intense or prolonged exercise

• Excessive sweating

• Diarrhea or vomiting

• Alcohol consumption

• Dehydration
