QRP Nutrition ELECTROLYTES+ 200g delivers a precise balance of essential minerals to support optimal hydration and muscle function. Formulated to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat, this blend aids in maintaining fluid balance and preventing dehydration during intense physical activity. Ideal for athletes and active individuals seeking effective, science-backed hydration support.
Electrolytes are minerals in your body, like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, that conduct electrical impulses, balance fluid levels, help nerves and muscles function, and regulate blood pH. You get them from a healthy diet, and while your body typically maintains the right balance, imbalances can occur, requiring dietary changes, supplements, or medical treatment.
Key Functions of Electrolytes
Fluid Balance:They help regulate the amount of water in your body.
Nerve Function:They are essential for generating and conducting the electrical impulses that nerves use to communicate.
Muscle Contraction:They enable your muscles to contract and relax.
pH Regulation:They help keep your blood's acidity (pH) within a normal range.

Vitamin C enhances the absorption of electrolytes and helps maintain hydration and electrolyte balance, particularly during or after intense physical activity. While generally safe, there's a rare case report of severe electrolyte abnormalities from high-dose vitamin C in a patient with terminal cancer, suggesting it can be a risk in specific, severe health conditions
Zinc is both a nutrient that helps regulate body fluids and electrolytes, and a key component in aqueous zinc batteries (AZBs) where it acts as the anode in a water-based electrolyte system, providing a safer and more sustainable energy storage alternative to lithium-ion batteries. In the context of human health, zinc supports hydration and electrolyte balance, while in batteries, its use as an anode, combined with a water-based electrolyte, offers improved safety by eliminating flammable organic solvents.
Zinc as a Nutrient
Fluid and Electrolyte Regulation:
Zinc plays a role in regulating the movement of water and electrolytes across cell membranes, which helps maintain proper hydration and electrolyte stability in the body.
B vitamins support electrolyte function by acting as cofactors for enzymes that regulate fluid balance, nerve transmission, and energy metabolism. While electrolytes are minerals that maintain hydration and blood pH, B vitamins like thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6) are crucial for the electrolyte transport systems in the body. Products like electrolyte drinks often combine these B vitamins and minerals to aid in rehydration and energy release after exercise or during periods of loss, such as vomiting and diarrhea
How B Vitamins Support Electrolyte Function
- Cofactor for Enzymes:
B vitamins are essential cofactors for many enzymes that perform various functions, including those involved in electrolyte transport and fluid balance.
- Electrolyte Transport Systems:Specific B vitamins, like thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6), play key roles in the proper functioning of the body's electrolyte transport systems.
