Vitamin C: is the most widely consumed nutritional supplement. It is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is vital for a range of metabolic reactions including, collagen synthesis, , blood-vessel maintenance and the maintenance of a healthy immune system. The inherent antioxidant properties of Vitamin C work to protect the body against oxidative stress and help to counter the damage to the body that is caused by free radicals.*
Vitamin B12: is vital for the healthy maintenance of the body. B-Vitamins aid in protein metabolism, which makes them essential for growth and development on the cellular level. Because it aids in hemoglobin production as well as the maintenance of the lymphoid organs, vitamin B12 is vital to healthy production of both red and white blood cells. It also helps to maintain blood glucose (sugar) levels that are already within normal limits. In addition to supporting blood and tissue function, vitamin B12 aids brain functions including serotonin production, which helps promote a positive mood and mental focus.*
Calcium: is a naturally occurring mineral that is essential for cell physiology. It is a critical structural element in the body. In fact, 99% of the calcium in the human body is stored within the bones and teeth. In addition to proper skeletal development and maintenance, calcium also serves an important function for neurotransmitter release and muscle contraction.*
Magnesium: is a naturally occurring element that facilitates calcium absorption. Magnesium deficiency in the body is relatively common.*
Potassium Chloride: the most common means to replenish potassium in the body, is essential to electrolyte replenishing. Potassium is vital in proper muscle, metabolism, and central nervous system functioning.*
Sodium: plays a diverse and important role in multiple physiological processes. It is necessary for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity and certain metabolic functions.*

Frequently Asked Questions:
The serving size says 6 strips so how much do I really need?
The serving size does not imply recommended dosing. In fact, use of the
enlyten Electrolyte Plus product will vary widely based on many factors
including activity level, sweat level, environmental factors like
temperature and humidity, and so forth. Direct comparisons with other
electrolyte sources such as sport drinks are not recommended since the
enlyten system provides enhanced delivery over ingested forms. A good
rule of thumb for most athletes is to start with using 2-3 strips for
every 30 minutes of exertion starting 5-10 minutes before activity. From
there, adjustments can be made by each individual to customize to
specific needs.
How much potassium is contained in the Electrolyte Plus Strips?
There is 20mg per serving (6 strips). Small amounts of Calcium and
magnesium are also in the proprietary blend of the product.
How much of the electrolytes actually get into the bloodstream?
This also varies from individual to individual but is significantly
greater than ingested forms due to buccal delivery. Based on studies of
buccal delivery and active electrolyte transport, it is anticipated that
most will receive 80% or better as compared to far less through the
digestive tract.
Are the Electrolyte Plus Strips safe for children?
Yes, pediatric use is acceptable. In addition to athletic uses, children
may benefit from use in acute gastrointestinal illness such as diarrhea
or vomiting if proper hydration (water) can be maintained. For use in
children, especially during illness, consulting with a physician first
is recommended.
Do I still need to take fluids with the strips?
Proper hydration (water) is still needed both during and after exertion
when using the Electrolyte Plus Strips. Water needs vary by individual,
but our bodies do a pretty good job of signaling us when it is time to
drink
Are the strips suitable for diabetics?
Yes, the Electrolyte Plus Strips are calorie and carbohydrate free. This
is a significant advantage over sport drinks with significant calories
and high fructose corn syrup. Diabetics with significant kidney disease
need to be careful with any electrolyte product and should consult a
physician before use.
How can I be sure these are safe and that the strips contain what it
says on the package?
The manufacturing process and quality assurance of the Electrolyte Plus
Strips is very rigorous to assure safety and content. Between internal
and external independent testing, 30 people have given approval. An
independent testing laboratory certified by the FDA tests the products
to verify contents and activity as well as microbial testing. The
manufacturer is in strict compliance with the FDA and the California
Department of Health.
Are there any ingredients that could make an elite athlete test
positive for "banned substances"?
No, the Electrolyte Plus Strips have been used by numerous professional
and college athletes and do not contain any banned substances that could
make for a positive test. See above for the quality assurance that goes
into the product to further assure this.
Are there any medical conditions that would require that a person
avoid these strips?
Allergy to any of the ingredients. Persons with impaired kidney function
or disorders of salt and water balance should consult with a physician
prior to use.
Are there any side effects?
Allergy to any product ingredient. Rarely, persons with sensitive gums
and teeth may have irritation. Repeated use of the product in the same
location of the buccal mucosa may cause mild irritation so rotation of
oral strip placement is a good idea.
Can Electrolyte Plus Strips be used with other supplements?
In general yes. Individuals should consult with their physician before
the use of any supplement product.
Why are Electrolyte Plus Strips better than other pills or liquids
that are available?
Several important reasons.
- Convenience – The small size and ease of use make this ideal for many uses.
- R.A.S.E.R.! – Rapid Acting Side Effect Reducing next generation technology takes advantage of rapid transport to the body directly through the buccal and oral circulation. This is particularly important during exercise when the gastrointestinal circulation drops to get more to working muscles and the heart. Therefore, ingested items like drinks and pills will take longer to work and have less truly enter the blood stream where it needs to be.
- Preload ability without bloating – enlyten Electrolyte Plus Strips offer the advantage of preloading much needed electrolytes without having to endure a stomach full of liquid.
- Zero Carbs, Zero Sugar, Zero Fat – While we need calories to burn for energy, many sugar containing electrolyte products like sports drinks have a fixed proportion of calories or carbs to the rest of the ingredients. Since individuals vary so much in their calorie burn rate or their ability to convert stored fuels including fat to energy, it can be a problem to be "bound" by such a rigid system. Electrolyte Plus Strips take this out of the equation so that each individual can customize their calorie need which is really important for special groups like: children, elite athletes, persons needing to lose weight and fat, diabetics, or malnourished.
