Ever get thirsty while working out? Dehydration can
occur long before you even become thirsty. In fact, without sufficient
fluids, your body is less capable of moving nutrients through your
system and distributing oxygen. Plus, as you become dehydrated, you
lose essential electrolytes such as sodium and potassium, which are
critical for bodily functions.
LowOz™
features exclusive Rapid Replenishment technology that not only
delivers a blend of essential electrolytes, energy-efficient nutrients,
and antioxidants but also delivers it in an effective manner. Our
secret? Low osmolality - hence, "LowOz™."
LowOz™'s electrolyte blend combines potassium, sodium, and magnesium in
an optimal proportion to maintain water balance during exercise. The
electrolyte blend helps you maintain your fluid balance during exercise
so you can benefit from your workout and avoid exhaustion.*
LowOz™'s energy blend combines slow metabolizing (fructose) and fast
metabolizing carbohydrates (maltodextrin) and B vitamins to provide
energy sources to sustain your workout.*
LowOz™'s antioxidant blend includes vitamin C and an OPC blend (grape
seed extract and maritime bark extract). This blend provides powerful
flavonoids, catechins, and other antioxidant properties to support your
body's natural antioxidant defense mechanism.*
Research Brief
Osmolality is the measurement of solid particles in a liquid.
Principles of chemistry teach us that a liquid will flow from a low
osmolality environment to a high osmolality environment. This lowers
the overall concentration of the solid particles and spreads out any
associated charges of ions (electrolytes).
The average osmolality of blood is 250. LowOz™ has been tested at an
osmolality of 150.* Water is driven to areas of higher osmolality.
Since the drink will have a lower osmolality than the tissues, water
will be absorbed into the tissue where it is needed. Research has shown
the importance of proper hydration to help maintain optimal
performance. In fact, dehydrating a muscle by as little as 3 percent
can cause a 12 percent decrease in strength. Allowing water into the
muscle tissue helps to balance the electrolytes, as well as providing
an environment that may allow for further muscle growth and optimal
recovery from exercise.
As we sweat, we lose water and important nutrients known as
electrolytes. These electrolytes are necessary to regulate the flow of
water across the cell membrane. Without the proper balance of
electrolytes, our cells and tissues may become dehydrated. By combining
potassium, sodium, and magnesium, LowOz™ is able to restore these
electrolytes and balance out the fluids lost during exercise.
FAQs
Q. Do I use LowOz™ during or after training?
A.
It's important to ensure proper hydration and electrolyte balance
during training. LowOz™ should be consumed during your workout regimen
for best results.
Q. Do I need additional water along with the product during a workout?
A. Proper hydration is important, and additional water intake is beneficial during a workout.
Q. How does LowOz™ affect insulin?
A.
If you are under a doctor's care or using any medication, consult your
physician prior to using any dietary supplement, including LowOz.
Q. Can I mix LowOz™ with fruit juice?
A.
Because of the unique carbohydrate blend that controls the low
osmolality of LowOz™, it should be mixed only with water for best
results and maximum absorption.
Q. Can I mix up large quantities of LowOz™ and put it in a cooler for later use?
A. For best results, the product should be mixed and used within one to two hours after mixing.
