Electrolytes blend (proprietary)
Synopsis of electrolytes blend (proprietary)
A proprietary electrolytes blend refers to a custom formulation of key electrolytes, typically used to support hydration, nerve signaling, muscle function, and fluid balance. Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge when dissolved in water, and they play critical roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis, especially during physical activity, illness, heat exposure, or fasting.
The core electrolytes in most blends include:
- Sodium (Na⁺) – maintains fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve impulses
- Potassium (K⁺) – regulates heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and cellular hydration
- Magnesium (Mg²⁺) – supports nerve transmission, muscle relaxation, and energy production
- Calcium (Ca²⁺) – important for bone health, muscle function, and intracellular signaling
- Chloride (Cl⁻) – partners with sodium to balance fluids and stomach acid production
- Phosphate (PO₄³⁻) – aids in energy metabolism and pH buffering (less common in commercial blends)
- Bicarbonate (HCO₃⁻) – helps regulate blood pH and acid-base balance (included in medical-grade blends)
Proprietary blends may also include:
- Trace minerals such as zinc, selenium, or chromium
- Coconut water powder, sea minerals, or Himalayan salt
- Additives like citric acid, natural flavors, sweeteners (stevia, monk fruit), or buffering agents
These blends are formulated for:
- Rehydration and electrolyte replenishment after sweating or dehydration
- Improved athletic performance and recovery
- Preventing or relieving muscle cramps
- Supporting adrenal function, especially during stress or fatigue
- Keto or fasting support, where electrolyte loss increases
Delivery forms include powders, effervescent tablets, capsules, or liquid concentrates, and many are designed to be low in sugar while still maintaining palatability.
Historical Use
While electrolyte blends themselves are a modern innovation, the concept of using mineral-rich sources for hydration and performance has deep roots in traditional medicine.
For example:
- Salt and sugar water has been used traditionally in many cultures to treat diarrhea and dehydration, a practice formalized into oral rehydration therapy (ORT) by the WHO in the 20th century.
- Bone broths, herbal infusions, fermented drinks (like kvass or rejuvelac), and coconut water were historically consumed in indigenous and traditional cultures to restore strength, fluids, and minerals.
- In Ayurveda, formulations with rock salt (sendha namak) and mineral-rich herbs were used to balance doshas and restore fluid balance, especially during fever or physical exertion.
Today, proprietary electrolytes blends combine modern biochemistry with ancestral hydration wisdom, offering convenient and targeted support for energy, recovery, and cellular performance in wellness, athletics, and clinical care.
