Electrolytes

What Are Electrolytes?

Electrolytes are charged minerals, like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and chloride—that dissolve in bodily fluids and conduct electricity. This electrical activity is essential for:

Nerve signaling
Muscle contraction
Hydration and fluid balance
pH regulation
Nutrient transport across cell membranes

Think of them as the body’s internal wiring system—without them, your cells can’t communicate or function properly.

How Electrolytes Work

Electrolytes maintain the electrical gradients across cell membranes. These gradients are what allow neurons to fire, muscles to contract, and nutrients to move in and out of cells. When you sweat, exercise, or experience stress, you lose electrolytes, especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and cramping if not replenished.

Key Electrolytes in Velocity and Their Roles

Sodium

Maintains fluid balance inside and outside cells
Essential for nerve impulses and muscle function
Helps regulate blood pressure and hydration

Potassium

Works with sodium to maintain electrical conductivity
Supports heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and brain function
Helps prevent cramping and fatigue

Magnesium

Involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions
Supports ATP production, muscle relaxation, and neurotransmitter release
Helps regulate mood, sleep, and stress response

Calcium

Crucial for muscle contractions, including the heart
Supports nerve transmission and bone health
Works with magnesium to maintain neuromuscular balance

Synergy with the Velocity Stack

Electrolytes don’t just hydrate, they amplify the effects of other ingredients in Velocity:

With caffeine and ginseng: They help stabilize heart rate and prevent overstimulation by supporting smooth muscle function and hydration.
With B vitamins: They enable the enzymatic reactions that convert food into energy and regulate nerve signaling.
With glutathione: They maintain the ionic balance that allows glutathione to function optimally inside cells.
With nootropics: They support neurotransmitter activity and cognitive endurance, especially under stress or exertion.

The Big Picture

In Velocity, electrolytes are more than just hydration, they’re neural conductors, muscle stabilizers, and metabolic catalysts. They ensure that every other ingredient in the formula can do its job efficiently, especially when your body is under pressure.
