Hydration is as vital to our bodies as water is to a plant. Just as soil needs nutrients for plants to absorb water efficiently, our bodies require the right balance of minerals to optimise hydration at a cellular level. Without these essential minerals, the water we drink may simply pass through us without being fully absorbed, leaving us less hydrated than we think.
Since the human body is made up of about 60% water, it's crucial to regularly replenish this key resource. Hydration plays a major role in flushing out toxins and ensuring our cells function properly. But drinking water alone isn't enough. For effective hydration, we need essential minerals to help the body absorb and use water more efficiently.
An electrolyte imbalance, especially when consuming large amounts of water without replacing lost minerals, can lead to problems like muscle cramps. This happens because when we sweat, we lose fewer minerals than water, creating an imbalance that needs to be corrected. Drinking plain water might restore blood concentration, but it won't fully replenish the body's fluid levels, which can cause confusion between hydration and overhydration.
Research shows that water combined with electrolytes is more effective in restoring balance and preventing fatigue or cramps. The International Society of Sports Nutrition even recommends electrolyte-rich drinks over plain water for rehydration, especially for athletes. They suggest starting hydration the night before an event and maintaining balanced intake before and during exercise.
On average, our bodies need around 35 mL of water per kilogram of body weight daily, though this can vary depending on activity level, diet, health, and temperature.
That’s where Minerals+ comes in. It's a new way to support everyday hydration, using technology to enhance hydration at the cellular level. While water is the foundation of proper hydration, Minerals+ granules packed with electrolytes, minerals, B vitamins, and taurine help make up for the lack of minerals in regular water. Whether you dissolve it in water, chew it, or take it straight, Minerals+ ensures your body gets what it needs to stay properly hydrated, energised, and ready for whatever comes your way.
Hydration isn't just about drinking water; it's about giving your body the right tools to absorb and use it effectively. With Minerals+, you're making sure every sip counts.
