Sodium (520mg) - Sodium is the primary electrolyte responsible for regulating fluid balance in the body. It helps maintain proper hydration levels and supports nerve and muscle function.

Potassium (400mg) - Potassium is essential for maintaining proper muscle function, including regulating heart contractions. It also helps balance sodium levels in the body and supports nerve function.

Chloride (150mg) - Hypochloremia, or low blood chloride levels, poses similar risks to hyponatremia. For every 10 sodium ions that are lost through sweat, about 8 chloride ions are also lost. Consequently, it's important to monitor chloride—an essential electrolyte—during physical activity.

Magnesium (40mg) - Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body. It helps regulate muscle and nerve function, maintain a healthy heart rhythm, and support bone health.

Calcium (40mg) - Calcium is crucial for maintaining strong bones and teeth. It also plays a role in muscle contractions, nerve function, and blood clotting.

What are electrolytes and why are they important? 

Electrolytes are essential minerals, such as sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, that carry an electric charge when dissolved in water or body fluids, including blood. They play a critical role in our bodies and are fundamental to many key functions including regulating nerve and muscle function, maintaining hydration levels, balancing blood acidity and pressure, and assisting in the rebuilding of damaged tissue.

How can drinking water with electrolytes help? 

Drinking water with electrolytes can significantly help with hydration and body function. Electrolytes mixed with water enhances hydration through optimal concentrations of key minerals such as sodium and potassium. When consumed, these minerals help improve physical performance during exercise and rehydrate the body efficiently.

What are the signs on an electrolyte imbalance?

An electrolyte imbalance can manifest in various ways, often depending on which specific electrolyte levels are disrupted. Common symptoms can include muscle cramping, which can range from mild to excruciating and debilitating. Other signs might consist of dizziness, brain swelling, shock, an unusually fast or abnormal heart rate, confusion, irritability, nausea, and vomiting. 

What is the best way to take HYDRATION during exercise?

The best way to use Hydrate is to first determine your sweat rate and sodium loss rate. As an estimate of your individual needs, one serving of HYDRATION is sufficient to replace the sodium lost in sweat for an average athlete. However, many individual variations exist and the environment can augment these factors as well, so you may need to adjust accordingly.

Can I use HYDRATION as my only race fuel?

You can use HYDRATION as your only source of sodium and other electrolytes. However, HYDRATION contains no calories, so it is not suitable for replacing carbohydrates needed to fuel exercise.

Mix one scoop in 12-20 ounces of water and drink throughout the day or during exercise.
