Product Information

Rehydrating electrolytic salts

Benefits

Electrolytes are involved in metabolism, respiration, secretion, excretion and indeed in every aspect of organic function. As isolated particles they constitute the mayor part of the osmotic apparatus of body fluids. Form an integral part of the damper systems as well as structural portion of the pH mechanism. They have great mobility in the body and this makes them ideal for implementing the regulatory mechanisms. Thus, activation or inhibition of enzyme systems is made by tiny changes in the concentrations of specific electrolytes. They are associated with numerous physical and chemical phenomena of the body which is proven by looking at their involvement in the solubilization of globulins, its function as an integral part of energy storage and its contribution to the polarization of membranes. It is inappropriate to a discussion on the electrolyte balance when it is separated from a consideration of organic water. An alteration of the body's water volume changes the concentration of the electrolyte therefore we can deduce that with aqueous volume changes, if any, will co-exist an imbalance of electrolytes in the body. The volume and osmotic pressure of body fluids are under threat from ingestion or excessive losses, regardless of electrolyte or water. The replenishment of electrolytes in the case of substantial losses by sweat, urine (for use of diuretics), diarrhea, etc. is absolutely important to avoid dehydration, since the administration of only water can exacerbate dehydration that was installed by the elimination of more electrolytes by increased formation of urine with a consequent increase of electrolyte imbalance. The horse’s sweat is of hyperosmotic content because it has a high concentration of sodium, chlorine, potassium, calcium and magnesium in its composition. In relation to the amount of the losses of these electrolytes is that they occur in a different magnitude, from less severe like those directly impacting on the ability of contraction of the muscle fiber, resulting in a decrease in the strength and the consequent decline in the ability to perform physical activity efficiently, to the most serious that can produce synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (flutter) and even colic by paralytic ileus.

Indications

For rapid maintenance and replacement of electrolytes lost by sweating during intense physical activity. As fast repositor of electrolytes that suffer depletion by urinary tract resulting from the use of diuretics. As supplementary help in cases of diarrhea, heat exhaustion, stress and dehydration.
