When we complete a sweaty practice or class, whether it’s hot yoga or not we partially deplete our bodies of electrolytes and water when we sweat. That’s why it feels so good to have a big long drink of water after savasana.

But water alone isn’t actually enough to help replace the electrolytes we’ve lost in sweat and may in fact dilute our remaining electrolytes further.

What are electrolytes?

Simply, electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge. They are important because they affect how our muscles function, how much water we are able to retain in our bodies, and how acid or alkaline our blood is. It’s important to replace them after exercise to prevent inadequate hydration and cramping and encourage proper muscle recovery.

After Practice Replenish and Repair contains all six electrolyte minerals: Potassium, Chloride, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Sodium, in addition to support minerals zinc, copper and selenium. We’ve also included Organic Coconut water as a natural hydrator, buffered Vitamin C for immune support, and fermented vegan amino acids L-Leucine and L-Glutamine for muscle repair and recovery. This natural Pineapple-coconut flavoured powder has zero sugars, zero calories, and nothing artificial. It’s like a restorative pose in water form!
