Saltolyte 100 Capsules - tasteless salt and electrolyte capsules with sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and vitamin D3 for use during heavy physical exertion with high sweat loss, e.g. triathlon, cycling, running, tennis, soccer, trail running, fitness, inline skating, beach volleyball, badminton, squash, etc.
Heavy sweat loss due to prolonged muscle work leads to the flushing out of salt, minerals (electrolytes) and trace elements - this can affect the maintenance of physical performance, the functionality of the muscles and regeneration.
Absorption through the vegetarian capsule allows high bioavailability of the contained electrolytes without leaving a salty taste in the mouth.
Optimized formula - Made in Germany
The proportion of ingredients in this newly developed, optimized formula is based on an article in the "Ernährungsumschau" No.39,1992, in which Friedrich Reuss (then Department of Applied Physiology and Sports Medicine, University of Ulm) summarized the study situation on this subject, explained it clearly and drew interesting conclusions.
His article "Electrolyte and Fluid Substitution in the Athlete in the Training and Competition Phase" supports on the one hand the previously proclaimed sweat loss rates of the most important electrolytes sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, but also points out the importance of further findings:
- The crucial magnesium concentration in plasma decreases under stress much more than corresponds to magnesium loss in sweat and urine, because magnesium is diverted to erythrocytes under stress. Conclusion: magnesium intake should be much higher than the sweat loss rate would suggest.
- In addition to electrolytes, the trace elements iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are also excreted in sweat at significant levels and, given their importance in oxygen transport, the immune system, protein synthesis and fatty acid metabolism, should definitely be substituted during exercise.
Consequently, the formula of these capsules has been adapted in that the magnesium content has been increased and the trace elements iron and zinc have been added, without significant losses in the other minerals.
Effects:
- Potassium, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D contribute to normal muscle function.
- Iron supports normal oxygen transport in the body.
- Zinc contributes to normal fatty acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and acid/base metabolism.
- Vitamin D contributes to normal blood calcium levels.
- Potassium, calcium and magnesium contribute to normal functioning of the nervous system.
- Vitamin D, Eisen und Zink unterstützen die normale Funktion des Immunsystems.
- Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
- Magnesium and iron contribute to normal energy metabolism and reduction of fatigue.
- Magnesium and zinc support normal protein synthesis.
- Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance.
Mineral intake in capsule form offers the following benefits:
- Can be combined as desired with all proven sports drinks and nutritional gels.
- Even if only water is available, the balance of the electrolyte balance remains guaranteed.
- The amount of salt actually required would be almost impossible to drink dissolved (brine).
- Swallowing the capsule does not leave a salty taste in the mouth and therefore does not lead to even more thirst (salt pretzel effect).
- Easy dosage.
- Hardly any weight, easy to carry around, easy to take.
Recommended dosage:
In case of continuous exercise, swallow one capsule at a time at intervals of 30-60 minutes with a little water. The content can also be dissolved in liquid. During prolonged physical stress up to a maximum of 15 capsules daily.
Indications:
Do not exceed the stated maximum recommended intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. The enclosed anti-condensation pack is not suitable for consumption. Store out of reach of small children, in a cool, dry place. Always close container tightly.
