Everybody and every body is different.
Re-Lyte Hydration is packed with essential electrolytes that keep you hydrated and feeling your best. Figuring out the perfect amount of Re-Lyte Hydration for you isn't one-size-fits-all. Factors such as how much you exercise, the climate you live in, any health conditions you may have, and other variables all play a role in determining what suits you best. We recommend taking note of the amount of electrolytes in each serving of Re-Lyte and adapting your intake to meet your unique hydration needs.
While it is always best to get personalized advice from a trusted healthcare professional, you can get an estimate of your daily nutrient recommendations from this calculator by The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine. This includes an Adequate Intake (AI) level, how much of a nutrient you need to be healthy, and a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL), how much of a nutrient you can safely take without overdose. At this point, there is no Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) set for sodium because there's very little evidence that sodium causes toxicity in healthy people even at very high doses.
In addition to evaluating your daily nutrient recommendations, you should also pay attention to the signs your body gives you. If you're not getting enough electrolytes, you may experience things like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. If you get too many, you may develop a stomach ache or diarrhea.
The color of your urine can be a sign that you need more electrolytes too. If your urine is completely clear, you might be drinking too much water without enough electrolytes to balance it out. Salt cravings could also be a sign you're low in sodium. Your body has a finely tuned salt thermostat developed over years and years of evolution to make you crave salt when you need it and be turned off when salt doesn't.
In summary, your Re-Lyte Hydration journey is uniquely yours. Adjust your intake based on exercise, climate, sickness, or any other individual factors. It's a personalized approach to feeling your best. Here are some additional resources that can help you get your electrolyte intake just right:
