Frequently asked questions about Kinetica Electro C Tablets
What are the benefits of electrolytes?
Electrolytes can help replace the sodium lost through perspiration from general day to day life but especially when exercising. Other benefits of electrolytes can include:
- Maintaining hydration
- Rehydrating
- Potentially reducing risk of muscle cramping
- Reduce risk of muscle fatigue
Why do I need electrolytes?
Electrolytes can be beneficial for a wide range of consumers from the athletes through to the everyday person! Why? Kinetica Electro-C’s fresh lemon flavour quenches and replenishes; replacing the electrolytes that are lost through sweat and helping your body hold on to the fluids you drink. Lost electrolytes can lead to impaired performance and thinking; because if you’re not hydrated, you’re not at your best.
How many calories are there in each tablet?
There are just under 10 calories per 1 tablet serving.
What are the electrolytes in the tablet and how much of each are in each tablet?
One Electro-C tablet contains 250mg Sodium, 50mg Potassium, Magnesium 75mg and Calcium 50mg. Sodium is important for maintaining hydration and for rehydration. Potassium, which is lost in smaller amounts in sweat is important for function of nerve and muscle cells. If there are insufficient amount of sodium and potassium levels, muscle cramping may be an outcome. Research has indicated that Magnesium, like Potassium and Sodium has been associated with limiting muscle cramping and fatigue. Calcium, which we already know is important for bone health, may also have an impact on muscle contraction.
When is the best time to take an electrolyte?
We recommend taking 1 electrolyte tablet per 500mls of water daily. For everyday use outside of sports and performance, take it at a time that works best for you to allow you to be consistent. If you are due to travel especially if you are flying it can be super helpful to take 1 tablet before and/or during your flight to reduce your risk of being dehydrated.
