When you're fatigued, Hydralyte quickly replaces lost minerals in the proper proportions without gastro-intestinal discomfort. The concentrated solutions of other sports and energy drinks or eating during or immediately after strenuous or prolonged exertion without taking in additional water or isotonic electrolyte solution will cause water to be pulled from the muscles and circulation into the digestive system, often causing extensive muscle cramping. Plain water takes a comparatively long time to be absorbed and can, in prolonged strenuous activities, flush out a person's own electrolytes, resulting in hyponatremia. Taking salt tablets or drinking solutions with an excess of salt can result in depletion of the other electrolytes, especially potassium, and has caused many cases of permanent cardiac arrhythmia. Gookinaid Hydralyte is recommended for rapid oral rehydration and electrolyte replacement, especially when minimal gastric discomfort is important as in strenuous or prolonged exertion, heat stress, exposure, shock, trauma, illness or fatigue. |
