250mg Sodium (as Ancient Pink Sea Salt)
Sodium is crucial for maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction, especially during physical activity. It is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat, with typical losses ranging from 100-500 mg per hour of intense exercise, which generally doesn't lead to low blood sodium levels. Thus, immediate sodium ingestion after exercise isn't always necessary for adequate levels. Most people easily replenish sodium levels through their diet, consuming around 3000-5000 mg per day—over twice the recommended Daily Value of around 2300 mg/day. Excessive sodium intake can lead to health issues such as hypertension, which is why the American Medical Association recommends only 1500 mg per day. Unlike many electrolyte products that contain potentially excessive sodium, 2-3 times our formula, our balanced approach ensures efficient replenishment promoting hydration and performance during exercise, without overconsumption thereby reducing unwanted health risks. If you find yourself in need of additional sodium after intense activity, you can always choose to have another stick pack or simply add a bit more salt to your food (very inexpensive). Our priority is your health and longevity, not just short-term performance or exaggerated marketing.
