o R.A.S.E.R. – Take advantage of Rapid Acting Side Effect Reducing next
generation technology by placing quick dissolving strips in your mouth to
dissolve.
o Preload ability without bloating – Strips offer the advantage of preload of
electrolytes without having to use methods that can fill up the stomach
before activity, which can be uncomfortable.
o Zero Carbs, Zero Sugar, Zero Fat – While we need calories to burn for
energy, many sugar containing electrolyte products like sports drinks have a
fixed proportion of calories or carbs to the rest of the ingredients. Since
individuals vary so much in their calorie burn rate or their ability to convert
stored fuels including fat to energy, it can be a problem to be “bound” by
such a rigid system. Electrolyte Plus strips take this out of the equation so
that each individual can customize their calorie need which is really
important for special groups like: children, elite athletes and persons
needing to lose weight and fat.
