Balanced Electrolyte Concentrate 20 Ounces
Body fluids are primarily water and electrolytes. Electrolyte is defined as: "a substance that develops an electrical charge when dissolved in water". Electrolytes are crucial for cellular function. Simply put...without electrolytes we would not exist. However, total absense of electrolytes in the body is not the issue. The ultimate goal is availability and balance. Electrolyte concentration varies both within the cells and outside of the cells. Our body weight is 60% water with electrolytes jumping in and out of every cell, moving products in and out at rates approaching light speed.Taking a step back, we will find that in the beginning, life began in the oceans and in glacial streams. This is where the glacial flow of ice ground down rocks and released minerals and electorlytes back into the streams and rivers. This nutrient rich water then delivered this abundance of raw materials onto the land. Life (plants and animals) needs a continuous supply of minerals to function, such as zinc, iron, chromium, manganese, copper, selenium etc. along with electrolytes sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These last four minerals are the major alkaline minerals called Cations. Chloride, phosphate, sulfate and bicarbonate are other electrolytes that are known as Anions.While these minerals are used in other chemical life supporting structures, their electrolyte function is the most basic...the most primary...this is where life starts.
