Melaleuca's "Fast Sports Drink" is a refined four-in-one sports nutrition formula, which combines sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other electrolytes to transform plain pure water into delicious and effective hydrating drinks.
An hour of strenuous exercise will make you lose more than 1 liter of body fluids, and not just water. When sweating, the body will also lose electrolytes, and drinking water alone can't replenish electrolytes. In fact, drinking only water without replenishing electrolytes may lead to dehydration crisis.
Dehydration symptoms:
When losing 2% water, it will cause headache, fatigue and weakness.
When the water loss is 5%, mild heatstroke may occur.
When 10% water is lost, heatstroke, collapse and even death may occur.
Humans are electronic creatures, and every action and information they engage in depends on the current generated by electrolytes in the body. When the electrolyte content in the body decreases, the function of the human body will change.
The refined formula of "fast-moving instant beverage" contains calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These electrolytes are helpful to:
Replenish the water lost by cells
Improve muscle performance
Convert carbohydrates into energy
Reduce muscle tissue decomposition
Intense exercise requires more than electrolytes, so "electric sports drinks" are added:
Vitamins C and E resist free radicals and help to avoid muscle soreness.
Vitamin B and natural carotene maintain cell health.
D- ribose, which continuously provides exercise energy.
