Intense physical exercise and balanced mineral salt intake
With the arrival of the hot season, it must be taken into account that increased sweating leads to the loss of many fluids and a depletion of mineral salts.
In particular, great attention must be paid to all those people, young or old, who practice intense physical activity at an amateur level (running, walking, cycling) and who, with the arrival of the heat, find themselves facing significant dehydration situations.
Sweat contains water and salts, and abundant sweating quickly causes two phenomena:
- More or less marked dehydration
- A negative salt balance with loss of magnesium, potassium, and sodium, and impairment of muscular performance.
From these observations, the need to counterbalance this situation with an abundant intake of fluids and an adequate introduction of mineral salts clearly emerges.
In these cases, taking a salt supplement capable of counteracting the losses induced by sweating becomes useful. However, the supplement must pay particular attention to the balanced ratio between Potassium and Magnesium to respect the body’s actual requirement for these minerals.
The combined salt Potassium-Magnesium Citrate represents an innovative solution. In fact, it is not a mixture of the two salts, but a single salt with a balanced ratio of Potassium : Magnesium = 6.1 : 1, in line with the body’s physiological requirement.
Potassium-Magnesium Citrate guarantees the best integration for proper muscular and cardiac function and excellent gastrointestinal tolerability.
