May 30, 2022 Ingredient Spotlight: Electrolytes Share on: In honor of our newest product, Kyäni Electro™, we’re shining the spotlight on electrolytes. First things first: Why does hydration matter? We know that sounds like a silly question, but many of us don’t realize how hydration affects our body and the detriments of lacking it. When your body doesn’t have the fluids it needs, it struggles to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Doesn’t sound great, huh? Fortunately, there’s a solution. And we aren’t just talking about upping your water intake—though that’s an important step! But water alone may not replace another key nutrient: electrolytes. What Are Electrolytes? Electrolytes are mineral compounds that carry an electric charge. This means they help support chemical reactions in cells and throughout the body. These important minerals include sodium, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. When you lose water through sweat or other waste, you’re also losing these essential minerals. That’s why it’s also important to replace the lost minerals. And because sweating causes the loss of far more sodium than the other electrolytes, you won’t find that replacement in water alone. Electrolyte Benefits These powerful compounds have a range of vital benefits, from performance to overall health. These include supporting healthy blood pressure, nerve and muscle function, and tissue regeneration. Where to Get Electrolytes Some research suggests nearly three out of four Americans are chronically dehydrated, and many don’t realize it. We can recharge our electrolytes from a variety of natural food sources, such as bananas, coconut water, avocado, and some fruit juices. Additionally, there are all sorts of neon-colored, sugar-packed sports drinks that boast their electrolyte benefits. But not all sports drinks are created equal. That’s why we created Kyäni Electro™. Kyäni Products and Electrolytes All-new Kyäni Electro is the first-ever electrolyte drink that supports both hydration as well as nitric oxide production and regeneration.
