About

Hydration is defined as 'the process of causing something to absorb water'. Hydrating requires more than just drinking water. It requires electrolytes to absorb the water you are drinking! What are electrolytes? Electrolytes are defined as 'the ionized parts of a living cell or blood.' What do electrolytes do? Electrolytes maintain fluid balance inside and outside of your cells. It’s this fluid balance that’s so important. Every one of your muscle contractions, heart beats, brain signals, eye movements, or transport of nutrients, to name a few, requires electrolyte balance. † Here’s proof that electrolytes are so important: 40% of your body's energy, at rest, is spent pumping electrolytes into your cells.

Sweating, high histamine, drinking too much water, alcohol, caffeine, high blood sugar, tired adrenals, diuretic medications all deplete electrolytes.

If you want to support healthy electrolyte levels in your body, you need a high-quality electrolyte replacement that works. † Seeking Health's Optimal Electrolyte will help you truly experience what hydration feels like.
