RE-LYTE Hydration Sticks

We highly recommend using Re-Lyte Hydration while fasting because it's a great way to replenish your electrolytes.

Maintaining balanced electrolyte levels while fasting can help fend off some of the negative side effects of fasting, like headaches and fatigue.

Re-Lyte Hydration provides all the electrolytes you need to stay hydrated without breaking your fast. Unflavored Re-Lyte Hydration contains no calories or carbs. All other flavors contain less than 1 gram of naturally occurring sugar from coconut water powder. 

Coconut water powder is a great source of electrolytes and antioxidants.

We included coconut water powder in many of our Re-Lyte products because it’s a healthy and effective natural hydrator.

It contains the electrolytes magnesium, calcium, potassium, and phosphorus. And it’s a great source of antioxidants, which means it can help support your body against oxidative stress, free radicals, and inflammation.

Clearly, coconut water powder has a lot of benefits, but if you're looking for an option without coconut water powder due to an allergy or other reasons, we have you covered. Check out our Unflavored Re-Lyte or Re-Lyte Hydration Support Caps. As you probably know, coconut trees thrive in tropical climates, so our coconut water powder is typically sourced from abroad. But like all the ingredients in our supplements, it’s made following Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMPs) guidelines that ensure its identity, strength, quality, and purity.

Stevia leaf extract is a zero-calorie natural sweetener that can help balance blood sugar.

Stevia leaf extract is a natural sweetener that we add to our flavored Re-Lyte products to give them just the right amount of sweetness. We chose stevia leaf extract instead of other natural sweeteners because it's low-carb, zero-calorie, and has some impressive health benefits.

Stevia leaf extract comes from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, which is native to Paraguay and Brazil (although today, most stevia is grown in China). While other sweeteners cause your blood sugar to spike, research shows that stevia not only keeps your blood sugar stable but may even lower it.

A 2009 study also found that stevia leaf extract may help lower cholesterol. And other research shows that it could have blood pressure benefits as well.

Flavored Re-Lyte products contain rebaudioside A, a type of stevia leaf extract that's less bitter (and we think much tastier) than other stevia leaf extracts. It's also one of the most widely studied forms of stevia, which means we have a solid collection of data that proves it's safe and effective. 

We changed to Calcium Carbonate because it has more elemental calcium than calcium citrate, it’s most common in supplements and found naturally in many foods today.

Real Salt replenishes essential electrolytes, helping you perform better and fend off a wide range of issues, including fatigue. 

One of the most important ingredients in all of our Re-Lyte products is our unrefined, ancient sea salt, Real Salt. We included Real Salt in our Re-Lyte line because it’s a healthy, natural source of electrolytes, especially sodium and chloride.

Sodium and chloride are the two electrolytes you lose most in your sweat, even if you don't notice that you're sweating. The Real Salt in our Re-Lyte products helps replenish these essential electrolytes and protect you from a wide range of issues that can arise when they get too low, including muscle cramps, headaches, fatigue, and even a dangerous condition called hyponatremia (also known as overhydration). Hyponatremia typically occurs when you lose a lot of electrolytes through sweat and don’t consume any electrolytes to replace what you’ve lost.

Dehydration isn't just about feeling hot and thirsty. It's caused by not getting enough water and electrolytes (such as sodium and chloride) and is a big factor in fatigue. One research study found that women who were just one percent below optimal hydration levels felt fatigued and unfocused. Another study found that young men who became mildly dehydrated after exercising felt more fatigue and had worse cognitive function.

Now, Re-Lyte is far from the only line of electrolyte, recovery, or energy options that contains salt. But it stands apart from the rest because of the salt we use. Many electrolyte mixes and supplements use white table salt that’s heavily processed and stripped of beneficial minerals. But Redmond Real Salt is ancient, unrefined sea salt mined in Utah that contains 60+ healthy trace minerals that can support hydration, healthy muscles, and overall wellness.

Citric acid is a healthy, natural preservative. It also has a pleasant, tangy taste and can help your body absorb minerals better.

We included citric acid in many of our Re-Lyte products because it's one of the best natural preservatives around. It also has a tangy flavor that adds something special to Re-Lyte's taste.

In addition to these two practical benefits, citric acid has an interesting health benefit (especially when it comes to Re-Lyte)— it helps your body absorb minerals better. Research shows that citric acid improves your gut's ability to absorb calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. 

As you may know, most of our Re-Lyte products are a healthy source of calcium and magnesium, among other essential minerals. And the coconut water powder in many of our Re-Lyte products contains trace amounts of phosphorus and zinc as well. So the citric acid in Re-Lyte could help you get more nutrients from each sip.

Like all the ingredients in Redmond Life products, we only source high-quality citric acid from natural sources. The citric acid we use comes from fermented cassava and is kosher-certified, halal-certified, and Non-GMO Project Verified. It is purified after the fermenting process and then tested for possible contaminants, including yeast and mold.

Sodium keeps your cells properly hydrated and supports healthy nerve and muscle function.

All Re-Lyte products contain the essential electrolyte sodium, which performs some pretty important jobs for your body. It helps keep the amount of water inside and outside your cells balanced. It also supports healthy nerve and muscle function.

Sodium is the electrolyte you lose most in your sweat, so it’s important to replenish it regularly if you’re active. If you don’t, you could experience symptoms like headaches, muscle cramping, nausea, diarrhea, and confusion. Extremely low sodium levels could even trigger serious things like coma and death.

Almost all of the sodium in Re-Lyte products comes from our unrefined, ancient sea salt Real Salt (a little comes from coconut water powder too). We may be a little (or a lot) biased, but we think Redmond Real Salt is the healthiest source of sodium around. It's pure and unprocessed. It's mined in Utah. And it contains 60+ healthy trace minerals that can support your hydration and overall wellness.

Chloride keeps cells hydrated and helps maintain healthy blood volume and blood pressure levels.

All Re-Lyte products contain the essential electrolyte chloride, which performs some pretty important jobs for your body. Just like sodium, it helps keep the amount of water inside and outside your cells balanced. It also helps keep blood volume and blood pressure in line. And it keeps the pH of your body fluids healthy.After sodium, chloride is the next electrolyte you lose most in your sweat, so it’s important to replenish it regularly if you’re active. If you don’t, you could experience symptoms like weakness, fatigue, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, or vomiting. Almost all of the chloride in Re-Lyte products comes from our unrefined, ancient sea salt Real Salt (a little comes from coconut water powder too). We may be a little (or a lot) biased, but we think Redmond Real Salt is the healthiest source of chloride around. It's pure and unprocessed. It's mined in Utah. And it contains 60+ healthy trace minerals that can support your hydration and overall wellness.

Magnesium is an essential electrolyte that supports muscle function, nerve function, and provides energy to your cells.

We include magnesium in our Re-Lyte products because it's an essential electrolyte that performs some pretty important jobs for your body. It helps provide energy to your cells, supports the contraction and relaxation of muscles, and promotes proper neurological functioning.

Magnesium is one of several electrolytes you lose in your sweat, so it’s important to replenish it regularly if you’re active. If you don’t and your levels get low, you could experience symptoms like fatigue, muscle cramps, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, heart arrhythmia, anxiety, and depression.

Some of the magnesium in our Re-Lyte products occurs naturally in our unrefined, ancient sea salt Real Salt. But we also add a 50/50 blend of magnesium malate and magnesium glycinate. There are a few important benefits to these forms of magnesium over other forms of magnesium.

• Magnesium glycinate contains an amino acid (a building block for protein) called glycine that supports brain health, eases stress, and reduces anxiety. 
• Magnesium malate helps keep blood sugar in balance. Plus, it contains malic acid, an amino acid that promotes muscle strength and recovery to help you power through those tough workouts. 

Both of these types of magnesium are lighter on your stomach and more easily absorbed by your body. The magnesium we currently use is sourced both in the U.S. and abroad and is made following Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMPs) guidelines that ensure its identity, strength, quality, and purity.

Potassium is an essential electrolyte that supports healthy nerve, muscle, and heart function.

We include potassium in our Re-Lyte products because it's an essential electrolyte that performs some pretty important jobs for your body. It supports nerve function, promotes muscle contraction, and helps you maintain a healthy heartbeat.

Potassium is one of several electrolytes you lose in your sweat, so it’s important to replenish it regularly if you’re active. If you don’t and you’re potassium levels get too low, you could experience symptoms like muscle cramps, muscle weakness, abnormal heart rhythms, and kidney problems.

Some of the potassium in Re-Lyte occurs naturally in our unrefined, ancient sea salt Real Salt. But we also add a form of potassium called potassium citrate.

There are a few important benefits to potassium citrate over other forms of potassium. It’s one of the most easily absorbed forms of potassium, for example, and metabolizes quickly in the body. The potassium citrate we currently use in our Re-Lyte products is sourced internationally and is made following Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMPs) guidelines that ensure its identity, strength, quality, and purity.
