It may come as a surprise, but drinking water all day doesn’t necessarily mean you’re staying hydrated. Water alone isn’t enough to hydrate your cells. For your body to absorb and use water effectively, it also needs electrolytes. Without them, the water you drink won’t do much good and will pass through your system without providing real benefits. As a result, your neurons may not get the hydration they need to transport nutrients and remove toxins from the brain.
If these signs seem familiar, you need to consume more sodium along with your water to start retaining the water you drink. You can get sodium by simply putting 1/8th of a teaspoon in 8oz of water or you can use our Complete Electrolyte Supplement. This contains all the necessary electrolytes you need daily in addition to sodium.
Sodium/potassium pumps in the cells have to work at the correct voltage to carry water into your neurons. Cells have an outside layer that blocks materials from entering or exiting unless the voltage levels are exactly right to create an exchange. Voltage is created by a specific combination of sodium and potassium ions that will open or close the sodium/potassium pumps. The pumps need the level of voltage created by three sodium ions and two potassium ions to generate the right conditions for exchanges between cells. If you don't have enough sodium or potassium ions, the voltage levels won't be right for exchange and the pumps won't open or close. Water will not be able to enter your cells.
