Mineral-forward hydration for heat, stress, and performance.
Hydration is not just about water. Fluid balance in the body depends on dissolved minerals—primarily sodium, potassium, and to a lesser extent magnesium.
Sodium regulates extracellular fluid volume and supports cardiovascular stability.
Potassium maintains cellular electrical gradients required for nerve signaling and muscle contraction.
Magnesium participates in ATP-dependent processes and neuromuscular regulation.
During sweating, fasting, prolonged heat exposure, or sustained physical stress, water and electrolytes are lost together. Replacing water without adequate sodium can dilute plasma sodium concentration and reduce effective fluid retention. Targeted electrolyte intake supports more effective rehydration under these conditions.
Sodium is the dominant extracellular cation and a primary determinant of plasma osmolality. It influences how fluid distributes between the bloodstream and tissues.
Sweat contains meaningful sodium concentrations, often ranging from ~400–1,000 mg per liter, though individual variability is high. Prolonged sweating without sodium replacement can reduce plasma volume and impair thermoregulation and cardiovascular efficiency.
Adequate sodium intake supports fluid retention, circulatory stability, and performance during heat exposure and endurance stress.
Potassium is predominantly intracellular and works in dynamic balance with sodium via the Na⁺/K⁺-ATPase pump. This gradient enables:
While sweat contains less potassium than sodium, maintaining adequate intake supports neuromuscular function and overall electrolyte balance.
