The true value of electrolyte replacement drinks is never more evident than during elite sports, particularly top-level athletics where every ounce of energy can make a difference at the finish line.
Former nationally-ranked middle distance runner in the UK; 21-year-old Nadia Fidler puts much of her race-day success during a five-year career down to the role of electrolytes in replacing lost fluids.
Nadia competed in track events, cross-country and marathons on a regular basis in the UK before coming to Australia to study, but still finds time to hit the pavement. After years of using different products, she said Sqwincher was now her favourite electrolyte replacement drink.
“I would dread having to take the usual electrolyte replacement drinks because it was like drinking watery milk with lime, it was awful”, she said.
Sqwincher was and still is the solution
“My coach suggested I try Sqwincher. It tasted great and I found myself consuming it more often because of the different flavours.”
“I’d take it the night before and on the morning of an event, and an hour before and after a race.” Nadia said the electrolyte drink became fundamental to her overall performance, condition and mindset leading up to and during an event.
“If I didn’t have the Sqwincher electrolyte replacement drink I just wouldn’t feel prepared. Drinking it reassured me I was in the best condition to compete, she said. I don’t compete professionally anymore but if I’m going to go for a long run I’ll still consume one of the drinks. Sqwincher gave me the confidence and stamina to achieve my exercise goals and I would recommend it to any person that wants to maximise their performance.”
Sqwincher is an electrolyte replacement drink scientifically formulated to safely replace mineral salts, and replenish fluids and sugars at optimal absorption rates which are depleted because of dehydration or through physical exertion.
It prevents or reduces the severity of heat stress disorders and provides a supplemental source of energy plus quenches thirst.
You don’t have to be an athlete to use Sqwincher
The product is primarily used in industrial situations where workers face the daily threat of heat stress and work in harsh environments with heavy sweating for long periods.
Sqwincher spokesperson and Managing Director of Pryme Australia, Terry Houlihan, said “You don’t need to be an elite athlete to benefit from electrolyte replacement drinks. Part of having a healthy lifestyle is getting a sweat-up occasionally.”
Obviously you don’t sweat pure water, so it makes sense to consume what your body is losing. Sqwincher contains a delicate balance of electrolytes which is essential for nerve and muscle function.
Your body naturally stores electrolytes for everyday use but during prolonged activity, these stores will begin to deplete causing nausea, muscle cramps, disorientation and exhaustion, says Terry.
