Electrolyte Complex

Quick Facts

Form: Electrolyte Complex including Sodium (as Citrate), Potassium (as Citrate), Magnesium (as Bisglycinate), and Calcium (as Citrate).

Dosage: 1000 mg

Evidence Strength: Well studied in relation to fluid balance, muscle contraction, and exercise performance.

Time to Effect: Electrolytes provide immediate support for hydration and muscle function, with benefits maintained through consistent daily intake.

Electrolytes are essential minerals that regulate hydration, muscle function, and nerve signalling. At Spyr, we include sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium in balanced amounts to support daily performance and recovery.

Benefits

Benefit Evidence Level Typical Dosage Notes
Supports fluid balance and hydration throughout the body. Strong Levels set to complement daily dietary intake Sodium and potassium regulate fluid movement in and out of cells, helping maintain hydration during daily activity and exercise. Balanced electrolyte intake is essential for optimal physical performance.
Contributes to normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Strong Levels set to complement daily dietary intake Calcium is required for muscle contraction, while magnesium supports muscle relaxation. Together, these minerals help maintain smooth, coordinated muscle function during training and recovery.
Play a role in transmitting signals between nerves and muscles. Strong Levels set to complement daily dietary intake Electrolytes like sodium and potassium are critical for generating electrical impulses in nerves. Adequate intake supports healthy nerve communication and muscle responsiveness.
Assist in restoring hydration and muscle function after exercise. Strong Levels set to complement daily dietary intake Replacing electrolytes after training helps restore fluid balance and muscle readiness. This supports faster recovery and reduces the impact of exercise-induced fatigue.
Help maintain performance during prolonged or intense exercise. Moderate Levels set to complement daily dietary intake Electrolytes are lost through sweat and must be replaced to sustain endurance and training output. Supplementation supports energy and hydration needs during extended activity.

Mechanism

Electrolytes regulate fluid balance, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. Sodium and potassium work together to maintain hydration and cellular function, magnesium supports energy metabolism and muscle relaxation, and calcium contributes to muscle contraction and bone health. Together, they form the foundation for reliable performance and recovery.

Forms & Timing

Spyr Rise provides electrolytes at levels designed to support hydration and muscle function, with exact amounts detailed in the Nutrition Information Panel.

Taken in the morning, Spyr Rise, delivers electrolytes in highly absorbable forms such as magnesium bisglycinate and citrate salts. The dosages are set to complement daily dietary intake and provide balanced support for hydration, energy, and recovery.

Safety

Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, under 18, or have a medical condition.

Electrolytes are essential minerals found in many foods and fluids and are widely consumed in supplements. They are generally well tolerated when consumed within recommended daily intakes.

Studies

Study Title Outcome Year Design Population Dosage Duration Study Type Takeaway
Electrolyte and water balance in exercise Demonstrated that sodium and potassium are critical for maintaining plasma volume and hydration during prolonged exercise. 2004 Review of clinical and exercise studies Athletes and exercising adults Varied across trials (sodium 300–1000 mg/h in fluids; potassium 100–300 mg/h) Review Strong evidence that electrolytes are essential to fluid balance and hydration during exercise and daily activity.
Magnesium and muscle function in humans Magnesium supplementation improved muscle performance and reduced cramps in deficient populations. 2012 Randomized controlled trials + review Adults with low magnesium or higher muscle demand Varied; often 300–500 mg/day elemental magnesium Review and RCTs Confirms magnesium’s role in muscle contraction and relaxation, central to the electrolyte complex.
Potassium and nerve transmission Evidence that potassium is critical for resting membrane potential and nerve impulse conduction. 2000 Review of human physiology and clinical data General human populations; focus on potassium intake and function Typical daily intake recommendations 2000–4000 mg Review Shows that potassium is indispensable for nerve signalling, aligning with electrolyte benefits in Spyr Rise.
Effects of electrolyte-carbohydrate solutions on endurance performance Electrolyte-containing drinks maintained performance and hydration better than water alone during prolonged endurance exercise. 1991 Randomized, placebo-controlled endurance trials Endurance athletes (running, cycling) Sodium 20–25 mmol/L + carbohydrate solution during exercise Randomized controlled trial Supports electrolytes’ role in sustaining endurance capacity and reducing performance decline.
Rehydration after exercise with electrolyte replacement Rehydration was faster and more complete when drinks contained sodium compared with plain water. 1991 Randomized controlled rehydration study Trained male adults after exercise-induced dehydration Fluids with varying sodium concentrations (20–50 mmol/L) Randomized controlled trial Confirms electrolytes accelerate post-exercise recovery of fluid balance, essential for readiness.
