Nitro Powder - add to your water when exercising

Summer is here, and it is HOT!  I see many people drinking electrolyte drinks in that come in many different colors.  These colors are usually red, blue, green or yellow synthetic dyes.  When we sweat, we lose water and electrolytes, not man made dyes or high fructose corn syrup.

Why would anyone supplement with these non natural chemicals that our bodies do not need?

I use a product called Nitro Powder by Natural Creations.  It come in large container of powder.  You add one scoop to your water bottle and it provides:

• Vitamin C: important in the formation of collagen and aids in the absorption of iron
• Boron Gluconate: aids in calcium absorption
• Calcium Gluconate and Calcium Phosphate: important for strong bones and healthy muscles
• Chromium Gluconate: helps metabolize fats, proteins and cholesterol
• Copper Bicarbonate: assists in healing and eases difficult breathing
• Iron Gluconate: muscle function and production of red blood cells
• Magnesium chloride and gluconate: a mineral needed for absorption of calcium and potassium.  Recommended for muscle weakness
• Manganese gluconate: mineral needed for muscle coordination
• Potassium gluconate and potassium phosphate dibasic: helps to maintain blood pressure and control water balance in the body
• Selenium dioxide: supports the immune system and loss of stamina
• Sodium chloride, gluconate and pyruvate:  helps body maintain proper pH balance.  Recommended for dehydration and in instances of excessive sweating
• Vanadyl sulfate:  promotes mental vigor and muscle coordination
• Zinc gluconate:  promotes healing, collage formation and protein metabolism
• Amino acids (l-leucine, l-carnitine, l-arginine,=l-ornithine, l-valine: 
• needed for protein synthesis
• aids in muscle and tissue repair
• energy and stamina
• imporoves atheltic performance
• helps to metabolize fat, releases anabolic hormones
• boosts immune system

This is not just another sports drink.  There are no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors.  It contains nutrients to assist in hydration, electrolyte balance and recovery from exercise.
