“Staying hydrated” can feel like a CHORE. Maybe you don’t have time to refill your tumbler or bottle as you move meeting to meeting, or you forgot it on your way to a sweaty workout or practice session. Hydration supplements, like electrolyte powders and tablets, fill in when you fall short of your daily water requirement or when you’re feeling depleted.
Water constitutes approximately 60% -70% of our body weight, and is involved in numerous vital functions such as regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, assisting in nutrient absorption, and it facilitates various chemical reactions within the body.
Most of us know drinking enough H2O is important, but how do electrolyte powders fit into the picture?
Electrolytes are important minerals that help regulate and maintain fluid balance in the body. The human body depends primarily on three major electrolytes to function: sodium (which helps cells absorb nutrients), magnesium (tasked with converting nutrients into energy), and potassium (which works closely with sodium and plays a critical role in heart health).
While regular old tap water contains trace amounts of electrolytes, hydration supplements, like electrolyte powders, deliver higher doses of these minerals. The sodium in these products may also stimulate thirst and promote additional water consumption.
Research suggests that “functional beverages” containing glucose, sodium, and fructose may improve athletic performance by optimizing water absorption. Unsurprisingly, hydration products most benefit those who deplete their electrolytes on a daily basis. Athletes and individuals engaged in strenuous physical activities often reap significant benefits as these powders offer a quick and efficient means of replenishing lost electrolytes, thus providing the rapid rehydration needed to maintain performance and aid in primary recovery. Additionally, those who are suffering from a flu (or food poisoning) may also benefit from electrolyte powders, given that these illnesses dehydrate the body.
In some cases, added electrolytes can help people maintain hydration better than drinking plain water. In most cases, electrolyte powders are a bonus—not a necessity—in your diet. That said, if you decide to try one, choose your supplement wisely.
CWENCH, the original creators of clean hydration and the pioneering Pink Drink, are passionate about hydration. They deliver Hydration Innovation that redefines what's possible for everyone.
Formulated to provide optimal hydration with zero trade-offs.
It includes:
- 7 Electrolytes: Electrolytes help support hydration in the body. Our formulation contains 7: Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, and Zinc.
- Celtic Sea Salt: Celtic Sea salt is less processed than other salts, allowing for higher moisture and trace minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium. Celtic Sea Salt contributes to the Electrolyte content in our formulation.
- 3:1 Sodium to Potassium ratio: The average person sweats a salt ratio of 220 Sodium to 63 Potassium so we designed our product to help replace these electrolytes accordingly.
- 5 Calories Per Serving: Low-calorie product to support both hydration and health.
- Zero Sugar: We use stevia, instead of added sugar, to support both hydration and health.
