Along with sweat, you lose minerals your body needs to function properly. This \u003cstrong\u003eElectrolyte Complex Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e combines seven active ingredients in one formula: taurine, betaine (TMG), sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Per daily dose of five capsules, you get 1000 mg of taurine and 1000 mg of betaine, supplemented by a broad mineral profile. The jar contains 300 capsules, which is a 60-day supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Taurine and Betaine Do Here\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine is not strictly speaking an amino acid, even though it is often referred to as such. It is a sulfur-containing compound naturally present in your muscle and nervous tissue. In your cells, taurine plays a role in the distribution of water and ions across the cell membrane. It acts as an osmolyte, a substance that helps regulate the water balance of your cells. Betaine, also known as trimethylglycine or TMG, does something similar. It is also an osmolyte and additionally functions as a methyl donor. Betaine contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Together, taurine and betaine form a logical duo in an electrolyte formula. Where classic electrolyte products often only contain salts, this combination adds two substances involved at the cellular level in water distribution. In this complex, taurine is present at 1000 mg per daily dose, a common amount that serves as a starting point in many studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore Than Just Sodium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany electrolyte products rely heavily on sodium. This is understandable, as sodium is the mineral you lose the most through sweat. This complex provides 625 mg of sodium per daily dose, from two sources: sodium citrate and sodium chloride. But it goes further. You also get 300 mg of potassium, 150 mg of magnesium, and 120 mg of calcium. Potassium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance and a reduction in fatigue. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function. And chloride, which you get from sodium chloride, contributes to normal digestion by producing hydrochloric acid in the stomach. In short: you are not supplementing just one mineral, but a broader spectrum relevant during exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThree Forms of Magnesium in One Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: magnesium is not just magnesium. This product contains three different magnesium compounds: magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium malate, and magnesium citrate. Each of these forms has different properties in terms of absorption and tolerance. Magnesium bisglycinate is bound to the amino acid glycine, so it is absorbed in the intestine via a different transport mechanism than, for example, magnesium citrate. By combining three forms, you engage different absorption pathways instead of just one. The total amount per daily dose is 150 mg of elemental magnesium. This is not a mega-dose, but a targeted supplement in addition to what you get from your diet. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and the normal functioning of the nervous system. This combination of three forms is precisely what distinguishes this complex from a simple magnesium tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules Rather Than Powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost electrolyte products are powders to be dissolved in water. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's not practical for everyone. Capsules are easy to take to the gym or when traveling. No need for a water bottle, no sugary flavors. The downside? You don't absorb extra fluid like with a drink. This means you need to drink enough yourself in addition to the capsules, especially if you sweat a lot or it's hot. The product contains 300 hydroxypropyl methylcellulose vegetable capsules. At the recommended dose of five capsules per day, you have a two-month supply. You can take these five capsules at once or spread them throughout the day, depending on what works best for your training. The reason there are five: minerals and active substances physically take up space, and 1000 mg of taurine plus 1000 mg of betaine plus a broad mineral profile simply don't fit into one capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Electrolyte Complex Plus is a broad formula that goes beyond standard sodium tablets. With taurine and betaine as osmolytes, three forms of magnesium, and a complete mineral profile, it is aimed at anyone who wants to supplement in a targeted way during training or increased sweat loss. Vegan, lab-tested, and without unnecessary colors or flavors. This way, you know exactly what you're consuming, day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386118217956,"sku":"gen-155","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/ElectrolyteComplexGEN.jpg?v=1783855249","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/gen-complexe-electrolytes-plus","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
