Electrolytes are mineral substances (sodium, potassium, and chloride) that conduct electrical currents in the body and maintain tissue fluids. The balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for the normal functioning of body cells and organs. Electrolytes are needed to prevent dehydration that may be caused by diarrhea or vomiting from illnesses such as the flu, rotavirus, Norwalk virus or food poisoning. Giving pure water is not the best way to restore body fluid levels because it dilutes the minerals inside the body’s cells and interferes with their chemical and electrical functions.
Ingredients: Filtered Water, Organic Dextrose, Organic White Grape Juice Concentrate, Natural Flavors, Malic Acid, Potassium Citrate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Citrate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Elderberry (color).
