Dr. Berg's Original Electrolyte Powder Raspberry & Lemon Plus is the perfect combination of electrically conducting minerals and trace minerals. Electrolytes when dissolved in water create charged elements ready to hydrate the body cells and energize the body. These active minerals assist in nerve conduction as well as muscle contraction and relaxation. Check out these minerals in 1 scoop: 1000 mg of potassium citrate, 75 mg of calcium citrate, 120 mg of magnesium citrate, 15 mg of chloride, 10 mg of sodium and 100 mg of trace minerals. But the best part about this complex is there is NO maltodextrin or sugar – it’s just straight electrolytes in a lemon raspberry flavor with a touch of stevia. SIDE NOTE ON MALTODEXTRIN: Manufacturers use maltodextrin as a food additive, a thickener; basically it is a filler so companies can increase the volume. It can spike your blood sugars due to the high glycemic rating. Maltodextrin is a white powder made from corn, rice, potato starch, or wheat. However, maltodextrin’s glycemic index is higher than table sugar, ranging from 106 to 136. This means that it can raise your blood sugar level very quickly.
