THERMOLYTE:
Sodium
Supplement
for heat
fatigue and muscle cramps
Each seving size (TWO
capsules) of THERMOLYTE provide 300 mg of sodium (750 mg of Salt
- Sodium Chloride), balanced with Potassium, Calcium and
Magnesium in a proprietary blend of high performance Krebs Cycle
mineral complex supplied in equal amounts as mineral citrates,
aspartates, succinates, malates, fumarates and
alpha-ketoglutarates.
Its designed to prevent
HYPONATREMIA, minimize muscle cramps or heat prostration due to
excessive perspiration. Sodium imbalance (HYPONATREMIA) usually
occurs during long or ultra-distance events in the heat, but may
also be seen in events as short as 3 to 4 hours. Sodium imbalance
may either occur due to excessive water intake, or due to
excessive sweat production and sweat sodium
concentration.
how much sodium?
Sweat contains between
2.25 to 3.5 grams of salt per liter, and the rate of perspiration
in a long hot race can easily average 1 liter per hour. So for a
10 hour race one could lose approximately 22 to 35 grams of salt.
So, replacing water without the appropriate amount of salt can
result in hyponatremia which can seriously hamper performance and
well being.
Optimum intake of sodium can vary
from 300 mg per hour to 1 gram per hour, based on sweat
production and sweat sodium concentration. ONE capsule of
THERMOLYTE provides 150 mg of sodium. Makes it easy to control
sodium intake without ingesting excess sugar (sucrose, fructose,
galactose or glucose) provided by sports drinks and
gels.
For instance a leading sports drink
contains 140 mg of sodium per 8 fl oz serving. Say you need 600
mg of sodium per hour, then you have to consume 44 fl oz of that
sports drink which will also provide 76 oz of sugar. Excess sugar
creates a hypertonic solution which will actually draw the fluid
from your body into your guts for absorption thus temporarily
dehydrating you -- detrimental to performance!
Take THERMOLYTE, consume the required
amount of water and CARBO-PRO and you are all set with hydration,
calories, and sodium to maintain peak levels of
performance.
suggested use:
During extended activity
take TWO capsules per hour with 8 to 10 oz of water. In extreme
conditions take FOUR to SIX capsules per hour with sufficient
water.
also
provides Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium:
Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium are macrominerals which
complement each other for regular heart rhythm, transmission of
nerve impulses, energy production and muscular
contraction.
Each serving size of THERMOLYTE (TWO capsules) provides
Sodium (300 mg) from 750 mg of Salt - Sodium Chloride. It also
provides the latest technology in the delivery of Potassium (85.2
mg), Calcium (25.2 mg), and Magnesium (12 mg) in a perfect ratio
of (7:2:1) chelated as Krebs Cycle Carriers, for optimum
absorption and utilization. These superior organic mineral
carriers are in the form of equal amounts of aspartates,
succinates, malates, fumarates, and alpha-ketoglutarates.
THERMOLYTE also provides chelated antioxidants: Selenium (as
selenomethionine) and Zinc (OptiZinc - Zinc Monomethionine).
These organic minerals will not irritate the stomach,
furthermore, standardized extracts of Deglycyrrhizinated
Licorice, Ginger and Peppermint will have a general toning and
calming influence on the stomach and intestines to optimize
performance.
What is Krebs Cycle
Carrier? Krebs Cycle represents the joining of fat, carbs, and protein
into one common energy producing pathway that is responsible for
extracting energy from food - ATP. The Krebs cycle contains
carriers that are intermediates and keep the process going
continually. THERMOLYTE provides Potassium, Calcium, and
Magnesium which are complexed with Krebs Cycle Carriers (superior
organic mineral carriers), providing readily bioavailable forms
of these minerals as well as carriers which the body recognizes
and knows how to process. The result is increased ENERGY! Other
products provide only Potassium, however, in the form of
Potassium Chloride.
