Electrolytes in a Gummy: Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium
Calcium, magnesium and sodium are electrolytes. Here is what that word means and why they carry BHB in Gelacept.
What electrolytes are
Electrolytes are minerals that carry a small electric charge when dissolved in body fluids. They help nerves, muscles and fluid balance work smoothly.
Calcium
Calcium is found in dairy, greens and fortified foods. It is best known for bones, but muscles and nerves use it too.
Magnesium
Magnesium is found in nuts, seeds, beans and spinach. It takes part in hundreds of body processes, including energy production.
Sodium
Sodium is the mineral in table salt. The body uses it to manage fluid and to help nerves send signals.
Why three
Each mineral carries BHB in its own stable form. Together they make the formula support electrolyte balance.*
