This is the time of year when more people tend to experience cramps with the warm weather, whether from lack of effective re-hydration, or the intense physical activity that comes with being outside and in the sunshine. A few weeks ago, we introduced the number one company in the mining and manufacturing of trace mineral products: Trace Mineral Research.
In addition to its flagship product Concentrace, Trace Mineral Research’s line includes a multitude of products for mineral and electrolyte replenishment, including ENDURE. This sugar-free electrolyte formula can be added to water to help patients minimize cramping, whether from dehydration or intense exercise.
Whether we call them cramps or stitches, muscle contractions can strike without warning, putting a serious damper on any workout or practice. But what’s to blame for these uncomfortable muscle troubles?
It seems no one’s completely safe from muscle cramps, which commonly attack the calf muscles, hamstrings, quadriceps, arms, and abs. In a perfect world, muscle fibers shorten and lengthen back up when they contract; a cramp occurs when the muscle fibers stay shortened, causing tension and that familiar pain.
Muscle spasms can also happen off the court, creeping in when we least expect it. Cramps can occur up to six hours after exercise so we may not be safe even after hitting the showers. And don’t rule out the notorious charley horse, which often attacks the leg muscles in the middle of the night.
When it comes to cramping, a loss of electrolytes and dehydration are the most common causes, so it’s important to hydrate effectively and replenish lost minerals after intense physical activity. This is why our favorite electrolyte product is ENDURE from Trace Minerals Research. It contains Utah Sea Minerals and a plethora of other naturally occurring trace minerals to help replenish the body’s stores of potassium, sodium and magnesium—an essential electrolyte that naturally relaxes muscles to prevent cramping.
Staying hydrated during intense physical activity is a battle in itself because drinking too much water or sweet sports drinks can cause bloating or stomach aches. ENDURE can be added to plain water as an electrolyte booster with no carbs, sugars or calories for effective and efficient hydration that leads to enhanced performance.
