Endurolytes – Make Cramping a Thing of the Past

Tags:

BY: STEVE BORN

Whether you're running, cycling, swimming, paddling, hiking, golfing, playing tennis, or doing any other endurance activity, there’s no reason to suffer through painful cramps and other problems caused by electrolyte depletion. Preventing muscle cramps can be as simple as taking a couple of capsules or dropping one or two tablets into your water bottle.

By using Endurolytes before, during, and after your workouts and races in the hot summer months, you can replace essential electrolyte minerals and help prevent cramping. That matters all year round, but it becomes especially important when outdoor temperatures rise and your training volume increases.

Don’t reduce the quality of your workouts or risk your races by relying on salt tablets, incomplete electrolyte supplements, or old-style sugar/salt/citric acid sports drinks. Endurolytes — available in two encapsulated formulations and as effervescent tablets — contains all the electrolytic minerals your body needs, in a balanced ratio, and comes in three convenient forms.

Endurolytes is designed to meet your electrolyte mineral needs hour after hour, regardless of your size, sport, training intensity, fitness level, weather conditions, or how well you’re acclimated. We guarantee it. (P.S. We’re also proud to say it’s made in the USA!)

The importance of electrolytes

Electrolytes are chemicals that become electrically charged particles (ions) in body fluids. These ions carry electrical energy that your body needs for many functions, including muscle contraction and nerve impulse transmission. Because so many body processes rely on electrolytes, athletes need a steady, adequate supply to perform at their best.

Many athletes ignore electrolyte replenishment because they’ve “never had cramping problems”. Even if you’ve never experienced the painful and debilitating effects of cramping, you still need to supply your body with appropriate electrolytes — even in cooler weather. Why? Because the goal is not only to prevent cramps, but mainly to keep body functions operating at optimal levels.

Cramping is your body’s way of saying it’s “running on empty” in terms of electrolytes. It means many systems — including cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, and muscular — have been compromised for some time, and performance has been declining as a result.

You want your body to run smoothly, without interruption or compromise. That’s why, just as you shouldn’t wait until you’re dehydrated or bonking to replace fluids or calories, you should never wait until you’re cramping to replace electrolytes.

Salt alone is not the solution!

Along with completely neglecting electrolyte replenishment, many athletes make these big mistakes:

They treat “electrolyte replenishment” as the same thing as taking salt tablets, or consuming high-sodium foods, fuels, or electrolyte products. Salt (sodium chloride) is important, but it’s not the whole picture. Other minerals — potassium, magnesium, and calcium — are also required, along with sodium and chloride, to meet electrolyte needs properly.
They consume too much salt in their daily diet, or they “preload” their bodies with very large amounts of salt or sodium (often as citrate or bicarbonate) in the hours before a race. Neither approach improves performance — it often ruins it — and it does not support health. Too much sodium, in any form, interferes with the body’s built-in systems that regulate and recycle sodium from body stores.

Bottom line: When you give your body more sodium than it needs, you often create more problems than you solve. We’ve heard this repeatedly: many endurance athletes take excessive sodium and then suffer issues, including stomach distress.

Achieving cramp-free success with Endurolytes

With three strong formulations and two delivery methods, avoiding muscle cramps and supporting key body functions can be straightforward.

Endurolytes

The original formula — available in capsules or powder — used by thousands of athletes for decades. Endurolytes and Endurolytes Powder are designed for most athletes training in a wide range of conditions. Each capsule or scoop provides a specific blend of minerals to meet electrolyte needs accurately, hour after hour.

Suggested dose: 1 capsule or scoop per 50–60 pounds of body weight, hourly.

Endurolytes Fizz

Designed mainly for people who struggle to swallow capsules and/or prefer lightly flavoured, fizzy electrolyte water. One tablet is roughly equivalent to two Endurolytes capsules and contains no artificial colours, flavours, or unwanted chemicals commonly found in other effervescent electrolyte products.

Suggested dose: 1/2 tablet per 50–60 pounds of body weight, hourly.

Endurolytes Extreme

Contains 300 mg of sodium chloride (salt) and 75 mg of potassium per capsule — three times more than the original Endurolytes formula. Endurolytes Extreme is designed to handle tough electrolyte challenges, such as:

unusually hot-weather events
lack of acclimatisation to conditions
a high-sodium diet
being “physiologically predisposed” to cramping (for example, heavy sweating)
early-season training, when lower fitness can increase losses of sodium, chloride, and potassium

Suggested dose: 1 capsule hourly, increasing to 2 capsules — and possibly even 3 — as conditions require.

Summary

Consistent electrolyte replenishment during workouts and races is just as important as consistently replacing fluids and calories. The goal is not only to prevent painful cramping, but more importantly to help your body perform at its best.

Fluids and calories are usually fairly simple to dial in. Electrolytes require more attention and fine-tuning because you must account for more variables — weather, fitness level, intensity and pace, dietary sodium intake, and more.

Using Endurolytes during training and racing — and any time you’re working hard outdoors in the heat — helps solve that problem. Don’t wait until you experience the painful, performance-destroying consequences of poor electrolyte replenishment to start using this product. Whatever the weather throws at you, Endurolytes is ready. We guarantee that all Endurolytes full-spectrum electrolyte mineral formulas will greatly reduce the risk of cramping and help you maintain optimal exercise performance.
