Electrolytes are minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chloride that carry an electric charge when dissolved in the fluids of your body. They play a much bigger role than most people realize, so let’s break down some of the most important jobs they do for you every single day.
They help regulate your fluid balance. Sodium and potassium work together to control how water moves in and out of your cells, so your tissues stay properly hydrated instead of feeling depleted or puffy (edema).
They power your nerve signaling. Every reflex, thought, and movement depends on electrolytes shifting across your nerve cell membranes to create the electrical impulses that let your brain talk to the rest of your body.
They drive muscle contraction. Calcium, potassium, and sodium trigger the signals that tell your muscles when to contract and relax, which is why low electrolytes so often show up as cramping, twitching, or that heavy, weak feeling.
They keep your heart rhythm steady. Your heart is a muscle running on electrical signals, and potassium, calcium, and magnesium are what keep those beats regular and consistent.
They maintain your pH balance, buffering your blood and other fluids so your body’s acid-base levels stay right where they need to be.
Something that you need to keep in mind is that when we are stressed, our bodies/adrenals use up these electrolytes to produce cortisol. Cortisol is helpful in the shortrun but can cause problems when it is a chronic condition. One of these problems is a chronic depletion of electrolytes. As you can see above, there are so many vital functions that electrolytes play in the body.
We’ve studied and tried so many different electrolyte drinks available on the market. Many are high in salts, sugars, and dyes or just don’t have the correct ratio of electrolyte minerals to be effective. We are excited to share with you how effective Axio Hydrate is compared to its competitors. It not only has electrolytes and trace minerals, but it has vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids, and gut support. We haven’t seen anything else like this!
