Electrolyte Mix without the sugar. Second Nature Care.

One of our ozone patients found a great unsweetened electrolyte mix. He is undergoing some tough chemo and needed an electrolyte boost minus the sugar. 

Made by the same Alacer Corp. that makes EmergenC products. I thought I would pass this on to everyone. 

Your nerve, heart and muscle cells need electrolytes for cell to cell communication. You can't contract a muscle without electrolytes carrying electrical impulses across cell membranes.

When you exercise you sweat and lose electrolytes. We sweat more in the summer months so electrolytes must be replaced to the keep their concentrations in your body fluid constant. Your kidneys work to balance your electrolyte concentrations. You need sodium chloride and potassium chloride and you do not need the extra sugar. 

Children need extra electrolyte protection especially when they have chronic vomiting or diarrhea due to a stomach bug. Children are more likely to lose more fluids quickly putting them at risk for dehydration and seizures. We don't realize how much children sweat in the summer at the beach. 

Electrolytes replenish our cells with vital nutrients. We all need extra electrolytes during the summer months. This mix is easy to add to pure water. Next time you plan a beach outing make sure to pick up some ElectroMix.
