Each seving size (TWO capsules) of THERMOLYTE provide 300 mg of sodium (750 mg of Salt - Sodium Chloride), balanced with Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium in a proprietary blend of high performance Krebs Cycle mineral complex supplied in equal amounts as mineral citrates, aspartates, succinates, malates, fumarates and alpha-ketoglutarates.
Its designed to prevent HYPONATREMIA, minimize muscle cramps or heat prostration due to excessive perspiration. Sodium imbalance (HYPONATREMIA) usually occurs during long or ultra-distance events in the heat, but may also be seen in events as short as 3 to 4 hours. Sodium imbalance may either occur due to excessive water intake, or due to excessive sweat production and sweat sodium concentration.
how much sodium?
Sweat contains between 2.25 to 3.5 grams of salt per liter, and the rate of perspiration in a long hot race can easily average 1 liter per hour. So for a 10 hour race one could lose approximately 22 to 35 grams of salt. So, replacing water without the appropriate amount of salt can result in hyponatremia which can seriously hamper performance and well being.
Optimum intake of sodium can vary from 300 mg per hour to 1 gram per hour, based on sweat production and sweat sodium concentration. ONE capsule of THERMOLYTE provides 150 mg of sodium. Makes it easy to control sodium intake without ingesting excess sugar (sucrose, fructose, galactose or glucose) provided by sports drinks and gels.
For instance a leading sports drink contains 140 mg of sodium per 8 fl oz serving. Say you need 600 mg of sodium per hour, then you have to consume 44 fl oz of that sports drink which will also provide 76 oz of sugar. Excess sugar creates a hypertonic solution which will actually draw the fluid from your body into your guts for absorption thus temporarily dehydrating you -- detrimental to performance!
Take THERMOLYTE, consume the required amount of water and CARBO-PRO and you are all set with hydration, calories, and sodium to maintain peak levels of performance.
suggested use:
During extended activity take TWO capsules per hour with 8 to 10 oz of water. In extreme conditions take FOUR to SIX capsules per hour with sufficient water.
also provides Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium:
Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium are macrominerals which complement each other for regular heart rhythm, transmission of nerve impulses, energy production and muscular contraction.
Each serving size of THERMOLYTE (TWO capsules) provides Sodium (300 mg) from 750 mg of Salt - Sodium Chloride. It also provides the latest technology in the delivery of Potassium (85.2 mg), Calcium (25.2 mg), and Magnesium (12 mg) in a perfect ratio of (7:2:1) chelated as Krebs Cycle Carriers, for optimum absorption and utilization. These superior organic mineral carriers are in the form of equal amounts of aspartates, succinates, malates, fumarates, and alpha-ketoglutarates. THERMOLYTE also provides chelated antioxidants: Selenium (as selenomethionine) and Zinc (OptiZinc - Zinc Monomethionine). These organic minerals will not irritate the stomach, furthermore, standardized extracts of Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice, Ginger and Peppermint will have a general toning and calming influence on the stomach and intestines to optimize performance.
What is Krebs Cycle Carrier?
Krebs Cycle represents the joining of fat, carbs, and protein into one common energy producing pathway that is responsible for extracting energy from food - ATP. The Krebs cycle contains carriers that are intermediates and keep the process going continually. THERMOLYTE provides Potassium, Calcium, and Magnesium which are complexed with Krebs Cycle Carriers (superior organic mineral carriers), providing readily bioavailable forms of these minerals as well as carriers which the body recognizes and knows how to process. The result is increased ENERGY! Other products provide only Potassium, however, in the form of Potassium Chloride.
