VITALYTE
Electrolyte Replacement Solution
Whether you are on a long motorcycle ride, working out to stay in shape, or just feeling a little run down and low on energy, this stuff just flat out WORKS!! My off-road riding coach has been telling me about this great electrolyte replacement product for several years - he started using it when we was racing national enduros and became a big believer in the product. I have used Gatorade for years, believing in the marketing hype of company, but after really thinking about it, I have never felt any better after downing a big bottle of Gatorade either during or after strenuous activity. I was headed for a multi-day dual sport ride in So Cal last spring and new it was going to be VERY HOT, so I finally bit the bullet and ordered some of this stuff to try out, figuring I could put the mix in my camelback for the ride and see how it works. WOW, was I amazed. WIth 100+ degree temperatures every day, and not being in great riding shape since we had snow on the ground in Idaho for the last 6 months, I felt great. Usually after a couple hours of riding in that kind of heat, it was not uncommon for me to "hit the wall" and feel totally spent. We rode 4 hours through the heat of the day for several days in a row and I returned to camp feeling FRESH - that has never happened before. The Vitalyte formula is so advanced and well designed, that it has the CORRECT ratio of Sodium, Potassium, Calcium & Magnesium. Not only that, without all the extra junk that Gatorade has in the formula, Vitalyte hits your bloodstream in about 2 MINUTES, so you receive the benefits from this product almost instantly. Gatorade can take hours and the ratio of sodium and potassium are actually the OPPOSITE of what your body needs. Don't believe the marketing hype of Gatorade, they aren't even in the same league as Vitalyte - try it and you will be a believer too!! Benefits:
I honestly use Vitalyte on almost a daily basis, it is that good. |

Hydration 101
Bodies are complicated equations. Too much of this, too little of that and before you know it your body is out of whack. Vitalyte™ has spent decades of long days and even longer nights on the study of balance: namely what does a body need to keep hydrated, keep vital and keep going? One word: electrolytes. Thirst happens and water alone isn't enough. Electrolytes are essential in the hydration equation. Brain, tissue, cell, heart function – it all starts with electrically charged minerals at the hub of health. Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, outdoor enthusiast, sick, pregnant, traveling or just hung-over, you'll need something to combat dehydration. Enter Vitalyte: a straightforward, simple electrolyte drink that replaces fluids, electrolytes and Vitamin C lost with dehydration. Its electrolyte formula hydrates, replenishes, energizes and revitalizes, all while maintaining that perfect electrolyte balance of the four core electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. We pay special attention to the dynamic duo: sodium and potassium since these are the first two minerals lost and play the leading role in hydration. Our sodium/potassium balance is the ideal marriage for hydrating thirsty bodies with exactly what they need and nothing they don't. Not too much sodium, not too little potassium and the optimal amounts of calcium and magnesium. And because Vitalyte is made almost entirely of glucose - the only sugar that doesn't have to be digested - it's isotonic which means that it matches to the body's fluids that are being absorbed directly from the stomach into the blood, similar to an IV.
Rapid and effective, Vitalyte™ has no "extra" unnecessary ingredients to slow you down. Your blood volume increases, your energy is replenished and your thirst is conquered. It's that simple…electrolytes replacing electrolytes. Period. We've done the research. We've done the math. And we feel that we've created the perfect formula for hydration.
It's up to you what to do next…
Life is calling. Answer with Vitalyte.™
Dehydration 101
So why all the hype about hydration? Staying hydrated is a daily battle - and not just for heavy sweaters and athletes. Take for instance a few daily-dehydrating factors: caffeine, air conditioning, antihistamines, decongestants and alcohol. They zap fluids and if not replaced with electrolytes, blood begins to thicken - slowing overall bodily functions. The dehydration spiral unravels like this: mental fatigue, impaired judgment, stiff aching muscles, headaches, dizziness, irritability, diminished muscle response, exhaustion.
Dehydration doesn’t discriminate, everyone is susceptible. But diabetics, pregnant women, athletes, those with the cold or flu and those at high altitudes should make it habit to stay hydrated. And it starts with electrolytes, the building blocks of hydration.
Make it a habit
Sleep. Eat. Hydrate. Hydration ranks up there with life’s most important activities. Because the brain is the most sensitive organ in the body and comprised largely of water, it’s the first to experience side effects of dehydration. Even at just 1% loss of fluids, mental focus is the first to go, then irritability kicks in and not until the body loses 3% of its weight in fluid does the actual “thirst” response kick in. So even staying alert while driving can be a challenge. Compound that with the dehydrating effects of caffeine and cigarettes, and reaction times and mental focus are clearly headed downhill.
Water can dilute the blood; sugary sports drinks tend to pull more water from the body to digest all the sucrose; and America’s favorites, coffee and alcohol, only further dehydrate. Vitalyte™ on the other hand, is the same concentration as blood, so it’s absorbed quickly and works to restore the body’s natural electrolyte balance. No empty calories, no added sugar, no artificial coloring, just an all-natural electrolyte replacement drink formulated for life – all of it.
Naked Hydration
There was no sense in meddling with Mother Nature. She holds the formula on electrolyte balance and all Vitalyte™
did was take her lead. No unnecessary sugars, no empty calories, no artificial coloring, just an honest electrolyte replacement drink that literally mimics the blood’s concentration of sodium and potassium, the two electrolytes critical to metabolism and organ function. And because it’s a perfect match, Vitalyte is assimilated into the blood stream quickly and has since earned an insider reputation as an “oral IV.” Common sense and science have joined forces to deliver pure, optimum hydration. Drink up and drink often.
