A comprehensive profile of bioavailable B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These vitamins work complementary to the minerals and electrolytes to support healthy cellular function and maintain antioxidant status. Research suggests that antioxidant vitamins help mitigate exercise-induced oxidative stress, promoting athletic performance and endurance.

Potassium is the primary positive ion (cation) present inside of cells. Along with sodium, potassium is essential for cell-to-cell signaling and an important substrate for skeletal muscle contraction.

Taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, with research demonstrating that it supports athletic performance (especially at high intensity) and may attenuate exercise-induced oxidative stress. This amino acid is unique in that it’s not abundant in foods, meaning you must supplement with it to reach effective doses. Carnosine, a dipeptide, appears to play an integral role in muscle contraction and high-intensity exercise, with research suggesting it acts as a “buffer” and may reduce fatigue associated with lactic acid buildup. Carnosine has also been shown to have antioxidant properties throughout the body (antioxidants protect against oxidative stress by neutralizing free radicals).

Chromium is an essential trace mineral that has been shown to promote proper carbohydrate metabolism, support healthy serotonin levels, and even regulate cortisol levels (which tend to increase during exercise). In so doing, chromium can help support energy production and mood during physical activity. Many dietary supplements rely on inferior forms of chromium that are not well absorbed, such as chromium chloride. Hydro Balance Electrolytes contains chromium picolinate as this form is highly bioavailable.
