Good Morning!

I hope you are enjoying a peaceful Sunday. Today, I am bringing to you an electrolyte stack.

Electrolytes have been making the rounds recently, with a whole host of new brands entering the supplement scene. Like always, just because a brand is claiming that it will give you all of your electrolyte needs, it doesn’t mean…

a) it’s the right kind of electrolytes and

b) the right dosage

This particular stack is taken from Dr Andy Galpin, an elite athlete coach. So if you are into your exercise, this stack is for you. And even if you are not into your exercise, this stack is what I would class as a baseline stack that should be incorporated into daily life.

The Stack

There are a few different electrolytes out there, all with different functions that contribute to optimising health. As usual, we try and give you only the essentials while having the most impact. That’s why this stack only contains three different electrolytes to supplement.

1. The top electrolytes you need to be prioritising are magnesium, potassium and sodium.

2. If you are taking any electrolytes check the ingredients and dosage to see if these three are covered as they should be. Not all brands include these priority electrolytes.

Profile

Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge, that serve as conductors of communication in our cells. Within the electrolyte category, there are six main minerals; magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorous and calcium.

The reasons why phosphorous and calcium are not included in this stack are that most people naturally gain the amount they need through their diet. As mentioned above, this stack is a priority stack of the minimum you need to take, while having a positive health impact.
