Electrolytes are minerals that are responsible for aiding in chemical reactions, such as maintaining healthy fluid levels throughout the body. There are seven total essential electrolytes required by the body to function properly: sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate and bicarbonates. These electrolytes are vital for survival and specifically classified as essential minerals, meaning they are only acquired by the body through consumption.5 When these minerals are dissolved in fluid, such as the blood or the body’s cells, working to carry out chemical reactions to help regulate specific functions in the body. Some of these functions include maintaining hydration levels and helping the muscles contract.

Black pepper extract offers unique bioavailability effects that maximize the absorption of nutrients, such as magnesium, into the bloodstream. Black pepper extract supports the permeability of the intestinal lining, making it easier for nutrients to pass through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. This supports the absorption rate of various vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts. By supporting the bioavailability of other nutrients, black pepper potentially promotes the delivery of the health benefits of other nutrients in the body.

Largely due to its natural remote location, Himalayan salt is known as the purest in form as it goes through minimal processing and is free of pollutants such as microplastics that other salts naturally encounter from the environment. Pink Himalayan salt also contains the highest amounts of essential trace mineral content in comparison to other forms of salt.

Tower+ Electrolyte Mix delivers potassium chloride (KCl). Potassium serves as a beneficial electrolyte for helping maintain normal fluid balance. The body requires more daily intake of potassium than sodium, yet the average people generally consumes more sodium than potassium daily, which is largely influenced by processed foods. The suggested adequate amount of daily intake for healthy adults is 2,300 mg of sodium and 3,400 mg (men)/2,600 mg (women) of potassium. Potassium chloride may help provide the adequate daily recommendation of potassium, helping to support the balance of sodium and potassium required by the body. The adequate recommended daily intake of chloride is between 1,800–2,300 mg for adults and magnesium is 400 mg (men)/310 mg (women).

The key to electrolytes is having a balance to help maintain the body’s proper functioning. When your body has too little or too much of a specific electrolyte, you may notice certain changes. Each electrolyte plays a part in helping maintain the homeostasis of the body. The kidneys filter out any extra electrolytes in the body when an imbalance occurs to help maintain a healthy balance in the body.

Tower+ Electrolyte Mix is intended to help replenish electrolytes for hydration and energy. One of the best times to use Tower+ Electrolyte Mix is right after waking up. Some people choose to start their morning with electrolytes to support healthy hydration and maximize their day. Another great time is 20–30 minutes prior to exercising to support healthy muscle activity and endurance. Electrolyte loss may occur through physical activity, excessive sweating, urination and other similar things. Athletes and hikers may find it beneficial to consume this product before or after their exercise to support endurance throughout physical activity or replenish hydration after workouts. Sweating, whether from the summer heat or from the body working extra hard to regulate itself, is another instance in which your body may need additional intake of electrolytes.

An increase in processed and refined foods, present-day agricultural practices and inadequate absorption of magnesium by the body are among the many reasons why so many are finding they are magnesium deficient, largely influencing the popularity of supplementation.
