Highly Recommend!
Having had a bad episode earlier this summer where my electrolytes got all messed up and I wound up in the hospital for two days (and then a week later I was back for another week, but that was mostly unrelated), I decided it was wise to get some sort of an electrolyte capsule as an added insurance against future incidents. I knew I could drink lots of gatorade or something (which I mostly hate the flavors) and I now keep electrolyte water on hand for drinking throughout the day, but having seen just how bad my lab work was, I wanted more insurance.I also experience frequent dehydration, have malabsorption issues, and get absolutely killer leg cramps when things get out of whack. If I don’t stop the cramps immediately, they will radiate up from my calf into my thighs. If you’ve ever experienced it, you know that when it gets up to your thighs, you just want to cry, it’s so painful. I go thru tons of muscle creams and take both potassium and magnesium on the spot to try to stop the cramps. VERY unpleasant.This product helps restore lost (through sweating) and utilized (through use) electrolytes. A lot of the supplements add in a bunch of questionable things that aren’t proven to be helpful or necessary, but this one only adds vitamin C along with the essential electrolytes — calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chloride, zinc, and chromium.Bonus! Despite taking a potassium and magnesium supplement daily, I still had to deal with the killer leg cramps. Well, since starting to take this capsule daily, I have experienced cramping *once* (after a 5k walk) and I’ve been using it since the end of July.Frankly, I intend to take this product every day for the rest of my life. It is exactly what I needed, and I couldn’t be happier with it. My lab work reveals that my electrolytes are all back in balance and I credit this capsule for it. Highly recommend, and the price per capsule is quite reasonable. I’m a total fan!

Must Have
These work wonderfully. I take these before I workout, they seem to work better than Gatorade or other sports drinks. These are better than Gatorade if you are trying to cut down as well, as Gatorade is loaded with sugar. Your body does switch over to carbs as a source of energy once your body enters an anaerobic state (the burn), but for low intensity exercises, it will use fat as its go to source. Whether your body even has the time to absorb the carbs in Gatorade during a workout is questionable since your appetite and digestion is suppressed during exercise. Blood is relocated to the areas that are needed the most, and the organs that are needed during the exercises are prioritized. Your body uses what is readily available. It is better to prevent these problems in most cases.I have a tendency to take months off of from the gym due to life reasons, but when I get back in, I usually exhaust myself to the point where I get headaches, nausea, and get close to passing out. Taking one of these before the workout alleviates all those problems. I also take one of these if I feel a headache coming on; 90% of the time, it relieves the headache. Must have for everyone.I would also like the add that there is a similar product on Amazon. I ended up picking this one up since it’s half the price, I am not VIT D deficient(that product has Vit D, this has Vit C), and although that product is high is sodium and potassium chloride, I am certain I get those minerals in sufficient amounts in my daily diet….mmm…potato chips…

An absolute MUST for Keto, Cyclic Keto, and Carb Nite adherents.
Great stuff. I generally stick to a cyclic ketogenic diet each winter/spring, but the first week would always be absolutely brutal, no matter how much salt I was eating and water I was drinking. Dumping the “water weight” in this first week usually leaves me with a pounding headache, fatigue, and extremely powerful carb cravings. So after a bit more research, I decided to give these a shot as I just restarted keto, and my neighborhood pharmacy had nothing to offer besides sugar-laden Pedialyte.Keep in mind, anything I mention on this review may be as a result of the combination of these capsules AND re-starting keto. I started taking these twice daily on my third day of keto, for reference. I normally drink about 120 oz of water per day, and don’t consume much caffeine, if any.-Within an hour of taking the first dose, I noticed additional saliva production, nothing excessive, but enough to be noteworthy.-The first night, had no symptoms of restless leg syndrome that normally necessitate an extremely hot bath just before bed. Hopefully these continue to keep this annoying problem at bay.-Insane carb cravings and headache are nonexistent, usually very pronounced on days 3, 4, and 5.-My frequent arch cramps have not happened since I started taking these.-Felt less fatigued during training today (squats).-Winter dry skin feels more hydrated, smoother, and less scaly.It’s only been two days, and time will tell, but these things have already been worth the $10 for me. As a bonus, I’m a trainer. So it’s great to know that I finally have something simple to recommend clients who want to go ketogenic. Now they can sail through that crucial, often horrible first week with relative ease.

Will save your life if sensitive
At least 3 times a year I collapse due to intense heat .. if you sweat a lot or work out a lot, I’d recommend these, they do the trick and act within 20 minutes or so. My only concern is that there’s discoloration of the capsules after a few months, possibly due to humidity exposure, I think the company should address these concerns because they don’t look safe.

Relieves muscle cramps fast. It’s definetly a 5 out of 5 stars.
I used to get really bad muscle cramps, and…boy they would be very painful. I’ve tried different products including potassium, but had to wait a very long time for them to work. Then, I came across this product and it works really fast to restore the electrolites after working out or working hard outside. When I start to feel the cramps coming on, I just pop a few of these capsules and the muscles immediatly relax. Feel great!!

Capsules that supply the right amount of electrolytes
Very pleased with these electrolyte capsules. Easy to swallow and gives me the extra electrolytes needed so I don’t get leg cramps! If I miss a day, I feel it! Easy when traveling, not to search for electrolyte drinks.

Nightly Leg Cramps Over
These convenient electrolyte capsules control my nightly leg cramps. I take one daily. Each friend with whom I have shared these electrolytes for leg cramps, has experienced the same relief. I may get away with missing a day here and there, but more than two days, and my legs remind me!
