Electrolyte Replacement

Why use electrolyte and gel products?

Gel needs potassium, which is essential for maintaining cellular hydration and preventing dangerous electrolyte imbalance during prolonged workout under extreme conditions while consuming large amounts of water. Excess water intake can lead to hyponatremia, cardiac arrhythmia, brain irritability, such as headache & seizure, and kidney salt wasting, which is water toxicity. Our beverage cocktail (an elite mix) contains antioxidants that offset the stress of extreme exercise by supplying trace minerals and nutrients key to efficient energy uptake and metabolism under extreme physical workout. The cocktail also includes immune system boosters, and more. This mix of properties is not available in other electrolyte replacement beverages.

Winrgy, Food For Thought, and Emergen-C provide excellent electrolyte replacement properties with added bonuses. These three products are most effective when blended with each other. The products come in easy to carry single serving packs that mix & match to suit your body's special needs during training & competition.

YOU CAN’T GET THESE BENEFITS IN ANY OTHER ELECTROLYTE PRODUCT LINE.

Emergen-C is a vitamin & mineral rich supplement in the form of mineral ascorbates that can be consumed in higher doses than ascorbic acid. Ascorbates are easier to digest and absorb into cells. When combined with Winrgy or Food For Thought or both the cocktail provides ideal 2:1 sodium:potassium electrolyte replacement beverage. Emergen-C stimulates your immune system, important during training & competition.

Food For Thought is a vitamin & mineral rich formula bio designed to stimulate mental acuity. It provides brain chemical building blocks. Food For Thought includes special ingredients that penetrate the natural protective brain-blood barrier. It helps production of neurotransmitters vital to concentration, learning, muscular movement & tone, memory, primitive drive, emotions and regulation of urine output.

Winrgy is a vitamin & mineral rich formula bio designed to promote improved energy levels. It helps overcome energy deficit by encouraging energy release from protein, carbohydrate and fat stores. It is a healthy coffee & cola substitute with trace amounts of caffeine from a natural source that helps pacify caffeine dependence. It dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow to organs.

elec·tro·lyte - function: noun

1: a nonmetallic electric conductor in which current is carried by the movement of ions

2: a: substance (as an acid, base, or salt) that when dissolved in a suitable solvent (as water) or when fused becomes an ionic conductor b : any of the ions (as of sodium, potassium, calcium, or bicarbonate) that in a biological fluid regulate or affect most metabolic processes (as the flow of nutrients into and waste products out of cells) -- used especially in biology and biochemistry

Pitfalls of electrolyte replacement using many popular products:

  • Excess glucose intake draws water into the gut causing diarrhea, dehydration, and cramps of all types.

  • Excess sodium (+1) will cause potassium (+1) to be dumped which can cause cramping and later more serious problems such as neurological dysfunction including headache and seizure.

  • Electrolyte solutions stay in the bloodstream less than one hour but those with excess sodium are shifted into soft tissue fluid spaces and retained there which can cause a false sense of thirst and leave an intravascular space fluid deficit.

  • hyponatremia - Variant(s): chiefly British hy•po•na•trae•mia - function: noun 1: deficiency of sodium in the blood (chiefly caused by consuming too much plain water and too little or no electrolyte solution. Your body will be more sensitive to hyponatremia during prolonged exercise but is prone to catastrophic hyponatremic reaction due to excessive water consumption as evidenced by deaths caused at college frat hazings.) hy•po•na•tre•mic or chiefly British hy•po•na•trae•mic /-mik/ adjective

Honey Stinger Gel

A natural energy food made from a combination of Pure Honey, Pure Water, Salt, Potassium Citrate and Vitamin B Complex (Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, B1, B2, B6, B12). Honey Stinger uses honey as the main source of carbohydrates, as opposed to man made carbohydrates commonly found in other energy gels. Studies show that honey is low on the glycemic index and therefore provides a long, steady source of energy instead of a spike and crash. Honey is also a natural source of antioxidants.

Honey Stinger Energy Gel benefits:

  • All natural.
  • Contains Vitamin B complex, which supports the absorption of proteins and fats and the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. This helps provide energy and may contribute to improved recovery time.
  • Contains Sodium and Potassium, which are essential electrolytes that need replacement during activity.
  • Naturally low on glycemic index, thus preventing an energy spike and crash.
  • Provides quick energy.
  • Natural source of carbohydrates.
  • Tastes great and goes down smooth.
  • Provides long, steady source of energy.
  • Quickly absorbed into your system.
  • 120 calorie energy boost.
  • Fat free.
  • Natural source of antioxidants.
  • Helps speed muscle recovery.
  • May be used before, during and after activity.
  • Honey Stinger is water-soluble so it can be mixed in any liquid. Mix it in your water bottle for a quick energy drink or add it to your hot tea for a winter energy drink.
  • Great to use on cereal, toast and fruit
