Electrolytes Tabs 180 tablets

ELECTROLYTES TABS

An innovative form of flavored tablets containing key electrolytes (e.g., sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium) combined with bioactive coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) —designed for athletic performance and post-workout recovery. These flavored tablets are intended for all active individuals who need to quickly and effectively replenish minerals, support hydration, muscle function, and energy metabolism during or after exercise.

Benefits

• Hydration: Electrolytes, particularly sodium and potassium, play a key role in maintaining the body’s fluid and ion balance. During intense or prolonged exercise, these minerals are lost through sweating; inadequate water intake without sufficient electrolyte intake can lead to a decline in performance or an increased risk of hyponatremia.
• Endurance and Performance: An optimal mineral composition is involved in energy metabolism (glycolysis, β-oxidation), as well as muscle contraction and relaxation. Adequate mineral stores can help delay fatigue and support sustained performance.
• Muscle Function and Recovery: Coenzyme Q10 is a key substance in the mitochondrial respiratory chain (it participates in ATP production) and also acts as an antioxidant. In the context of athletic performance, it can support muscle recovery after exercise, reduce oxidative stress, and contribute to improved performance.
• Easy to Use and Dosage: Flavored tablets make them easy to take—suitable both during exercise (e.g., breaks/training) and afterward for recovery and hydration.

Summary of Key Findings from Published Scientific Studies

• A study by Uchida et al. (2008) involving elite athletes demonstrated that daily CoQ10 supplementation for 2 weeks significantly reduced markers of muscle damage (CK, myoglobin) during intense exercise.
• A systematic review by Fernandes et al. (2023) reports that CoQ10 supplementation was associated with improved antioxidant capacity and reduced fatigue and post-exercise biomarkers in athletes.
• Regarding electrolytes, according to the review by Heier et al. (2022), sodium and other minerals play a role particularly in endurance and ultra-endurance conditions, though their effects depend on individual factors.
• In an experiment by Petit et al. (2015), sodium and potassium supplementation during an energy deficit in a warm environment helped maintain plasma volume and performance.

Iron Bisglycinate 30 tablets

Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelate molecule in which Fe²⁺ is coordinated by two glycine ligands. Glycine is a simple amino acid; in this chelate, it is bound via its carboxyl group and alpha-amino group, forming two coordination bonds and a stable ring structure. The Fe:glycine ratio is 1:2, which neutralizes the charge of Fe²⁺ and limits unwanted interactions with dietary inhibitors of iron absorption.

Thanks to its chelated form, the molecule is stable against degradation in the acidic environment of the stomach and reaches the small intestine intact, where it is effectively absorbed. Ferrous bisglycinate therefore has higher bioavailability than conventional forms of iron.

Higher absorption allows for the use of relatively lower doses of elemental iron. One of the main advantages of ferrous bisglycinate is better tolerability than some traditional forms of iron—fewer gastrointestinal side effects (e.g., nausea, constipation).

Indications:

• It is used particularly in individuals with iron deficiency (e.g., iron-deficiency anemia).
• Beneficial for individuals who experience digestive issues when taking conventional forms of iron.
• Studies show that ferrous bisglycinate supplementation improves hemoglobin and ferritin levels in iron-deficient populations while resulting in fewer side effects.

Benefits:

• Higher bioavailability › more effective iron replenishment
• Better tolerability – fewer stomach problems
• Stability in dietary supplements
• Fewer interactions with other nutrients due to its chelated form

Iron supplementation for athletes:

Physical exertion can increase iron requirements through several mechanisms:

• Exercise-induced hemolysis – repeated impacts (e.g., running) can mechanically destroy red blood cells (“foot-strike hemolysis”)
• Losses through sweat and urine—small, but can be significant with very high training volume
• Increased consumption for mitochondrial formation—endurance training increases the need for iron for enzymes and oxygen transport
• Losses through the gastrointestinal tract—endurance athletes sometimes experience microbleeding during exercise
• In women—significant losses due to menstrual bleeding. Athletes, especially endurance athletes, are therefore at risk of both functional and actual iron deficiency.
