WHY CROWN SPORT NUTRITION? (41 SEC)?
The PRO Hydration Pack contains:
Hydration recommendations:
Sodium is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body, accounting for up to 0.15% of body weight. It is the most important mineral during sports because it is the mineral lost in the greatest quantity through sweat. The amount varies considerably between “low-salt sweaters” and “salty sweaters”, according to the sodium concentration in their sweat. Because individualization is difficult, the latest research average (1), approximately 987 mg per liter of sweat, is used as a reference. Based on these values, an isotonic drink alone is not enough to replace all the sodium lost during demanding, long training sessions, and an additional source is required—in this case, capsules.
With the recommended intake of approximately 500 ml/hour of IsoDrink & Energy (295 mg) plus 1 or 2 PRO Salt Caps (310 mg/capsule), athletes can be confident that they are covering the sodium lost during training and/or competition. Sodium intake is also essential to avoid hyponatremia, a reduction in this mineral's concentration in blood plasma that promotes dehydration.
Average potassium losses (1) of 234 mg/liter of sweat are fully replaced by the same combined intake of IsoDrink & Energy (193 mg) and PRO Salt Caps (54 mg).
Highly bioavailable organic sources:
Potassium, calcium and magnesium are provided as organic salts (citrates and gluconate, respectively), whose bioavailability is higher than that of inorganic salts such as oxides and carbonates, which are commonly used because of their apparently higher mineral content and lower cost.
