They used stevia instead of sugar. And sea salt instead of refined salt – yippee! Compare all that Mother Earth Labs gives you to the ingredients of a very common sports drink you see out there, especially on golf courses (hint – it comes in very bright colors):
WATER, SUGAR, DEXTROSE, CITRIC ACID, SALT, SODIUM CITRATE, MONOPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, GUM ARABIC, GLYCEROL ESTER OF ROSIN, NATURAL FLAVOR, YELLOW 5
How many electrolytes there? Two. You gotta love Corporate America’s idea of nutrition.
Mix 1 scoop of SPORTACTIVE in 8-10 ounces of water.
An electrolyte imbalance is most often caused by a loss of bodily fluids. Even if you are not outdoors or working up a sweat, consider this: As we get older, our body often becomes less efficient at maintaining its electrolyte balance. Kidney function is reduced and the digestive system naturally slows down. The body becomes less efficient at absorbing important nutrients.
Common signs that your body is crying out for electrolytes:
• Muscle twitching and cramping
• Lightheadedness/dizziness
• Headaches
• Dry mouth
• Lack of energy/feeling lethargic
• Irregular or abnormal heart rate
• Mental confusion
• Irritability
• Nausea
• Poor endurance and stamina
