About Company

Strength, Results and Safety

Dehydration is strongly associated with electrolyte imbalances and health issues such as headaches, mental fogginess, a lack of energy, muscle cramps and spasms, rapid heartbeat, lightheadedness, trouble sleeping, constipation, and bloating [1]. Hydration with electrolytes helps target each of these issues [2]. Electrolytes support the proper balance of water inside and outside of the body's cells; this ensures that organs and muscles function continuously [2]. Himalayan pink salt is a source of sodium, which is one of the most important electrolytes to replenish during activity as the loss of sodium is linked to muscle cramps and additional complications such as nerve problems [2, 3]. Potassium is the most abundant electrolyte in the body [4-6]. Low levels of magnesium are linked to electrolyte disorders [7-9]. Phosphate plays a role in nutrient and fluid transport [9] Calcium plays a role in muscle movement and well as the circulation of fluid [9, 10]. Zinc has anti-inflammatory properties that heighten the body's ability to promote wound healing, including exercise-induced muscle damage [11]. Vitamin D also supports muscle and bone health, which is beneficial for active individuals [12].

What It's For

Hydration [1-4]; Enhanced and sustained energy levels [1, 2]; Workout recovery [11, 12]; Improved Mood [1, 2]

How it Works

Sodium helps maintain fluid balance and supports proper muscle contractions, acid-base balance, and nerve function [2, 3]. Sweating causes the loss of sodium more than another other electrolyte [2, 3]. Potassium targets fatigue that is often linked to dehydration and it supports muscle contractions, urinary function, cardiovascular function, acid-base balance, digestive health, and the nervous system [4-6]. Magnesium supports proper muscle contractions and muscle relaxation during activity as well as glucose metabolism, which is involved in the production of energy [7-9]. Phosphate helps buffer fluid in and out of cells, it improves nutrient transport, and it promotes energy storage [9]. Calcium helps regulate fluid transport by influencing the narrowing and widening of blood vessels [9, 10]. It also plays a role in the regulation of the heartbeat, muscle contractions, and nutrient transport [9, 10]. Zinc improves the health through its ability to encourage detoxification and it has also been shown to boost wound healing, including muscle tissue recovery after a workout, due to its anti-inflammatory activity [11].
