FDA issues warning about toxic yellow oleander in tejocote root products

By |2024-04-11T18:23:51+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments


The FDA has been investigating certain supplements since September and has found some tejocote root products to be substituted with toxic yellow oleander, which can cause serious reactions and death.

Most of the products are sold online. As of April 4, the Food and Drug Administration had received reports of “adverse events” from people who ingested products labeled as tejocote root. At least one serious event has been reported in relation to Green ELV Nutrition brand Elv Control Herbal Supplement capsules. The capsules have been added to the FDA’s list of products that have been found to have toxic yellow oleander.

“The agency is reminding consumers to avoid these products (certain tejocote root products) because they contain toxic yellow oleander and can cause neurologic, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular adverse health effects that may be severe, or even fatal,” according to the FDA’s warning.

Some of the products have been recalled, but seven suppliers have refused to recall their products. Therefore, the FDA is concerned that products containing toxic yellow oleander remain on the marketplace. The FDA is evaluating additional regulatory pathways to remove all identified products from the marketplace. The agency has the authority to force recalls but it has not imposed such recalls on the identified firms. 

The complete list of products can be found in the chart below.

Some products may have tejocote listed as Crataegus mexicana root or Brazil seed. 

“Yellow oleander is a poisonous plant native to Mexico and Central America and a toxic substance of concern to public health officials. In other words, the tested products that were labeled as tejocote or Brazil seed are actually toxic yellow oleander,” according to the FDA’s warning.

Recommendations

  • The FDA is advising consumers to stop using and dispose of these products.
  • The FDA advises consumers who have taken any of these products of concern to contact their health care provider immediately.  Even if these products have not been used recently, consumers should still inform their health care provider about which product they took, so that an appropriate evaluation may be conducted.
  • Call 9-1-1 or get emergency medical help right away if you or someone in your care has serious side effects from these products.
  • Contact your healthcare provider if you or someone in your care recently ingested these products and have health concerns.
  • Consumers can also contact the state poison control center.

Who to contact

Health care professionals, patients and consumers are encouraged to report complaints and cases of exposure and adverse events to the FDA’s MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program.

To report a complaintor adverse eventsuch asillness or serious allergic reaction, you can

FDA’s investigation is ongoing. Additional products may be added to the list.

CRN is seeking an injunction against a NY law that would restrict sales of weight loss, muscle building supplements

By |2024-04-11T18:23:48+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments


The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) has filed an emergency motion in federal court to forestall the enforcement of a New York law that restricts the sale of some dietary supplements. The law violates both the U.S. and New York State constitutions, the trade group maintains. 

CRN announced today that it had filed an emergency motion in the Southern District of New York to prevent enforcement of Assembly Bill A5610, passed last year, that bans the sale of “weight loss” and “muscle-building” supplements to minors.   

Disputed theory of harm to eating disorder sufferers 

Supplements that fall in those categories would have to be placed behind the counter or otherwise locked up so that minors could not purchase them. Some academics maintain these kinds of supplements exacerbate eating disorders, endangering underage consumers who might be susceptible to such conditions. 

CRN’s president and CEO Steve Mister has previously asserted there is no credible scientific evidence to support the link between supplements and eating disorders.   

“This new law was pushed by social advocates relying on an unscientific and meritless argument that dietary supplements somehow cause eating disorders in young people, when the research shows they do not,” Mister said in a statement issued today. 

Related:NPA to seek injunction against NY law related to weight loss supplements

The potential penalties under the new law are substantial, Mister said. CRN anticipates that if the bill goes into effect, access to these products will be restricted for all consumers, not just minors. 

“If we stand by and allow this law to go into effect, it won’t help young people with eating disorders, but it will stop families in the Empire State from purchasing the trusted nutrition products they use to keep their families healthy,” he said. 

CRN attacks law for vagueness, free speech harms 

The law is aimed at products marketed, labeled, or otherwise represented to achieve weight loss or muscle building. But the law is unconstitutionally vague on this definition, which could lead well-meaning manufacturers and marketers to violate the law without even realizing it, CRN contends. Ultimately, many retail outlets and online marketplaces may conclude that selling such products is not worth the risk. 

CRN also argues the law unconstitutionally restricts free speech. 

“Right now, this law is wide open to interpretation and incredibly ambiguous in terms of how it gets enforced,” said Mister. “This vagueness will create uncertainty in the retail marketplace, which will ultimately result in retailers deciding not to sell many dietary supplement products, as they will err on the side of caution in an attempt to not break this ill-defined law.” 

The office of New York Attorney General Letitia James, named as the defendant in CRN’s motion, responded today with a letter to the court. The letter refutes CRN’s claims one by one, including questioning whether the organization even has standing to bring the case in the first place. 

CRN’s filing came several days after the Natural Products Association unveiled plans to file for an injunction of its own.

CRN believes chances for success are good 

Mister said despite that response, he believes CRN has a good chance to get the law put on the shelf while the formal legal challenges to it work their way through the courts. 

“We are very optimistic about our case,” Mister said. “We are confident that we have sound legal arguments on all of those counts.” 

He added the spirited challenge to the New York law will help slow or stop similar efforts in California and Massachusetts. 

“This motion for a preliminary injunction is a shot across the bow for the laws in those states,” he said.

CM’s intervention saves the day for small tea growers

By |2024-04-11T18:23:47+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments


Jalpaiguri/ Siliguri: Within hours following the intervention by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, bought-leaf factories agreed to accept green tea leaves produced by small tea growers without having to furnish a Maximum Residue Level (MRL) certificate. The resolution emerged from a two-hour continuous meeting involving seven organisations of small tea growers and the North Bengal Tea Producers Welfare Association, held at the Jalpaiguri District Magistrate’s

office on Thursday.

On Wednesday, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had made an appeal to the district administration to ensure that the Bought Leaf Factories continue buying tea from small tea growers. “As the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in place, I would request all the government departments to look into the matter and provide necessary assistance. The administration should ensure that the sale of tea by the small tea growers is not stopped, otherwise the livelihood of 10 lakh small tea growers will be at stake,” the Chief Minister had stated. Banerjee stated that the Tea Board of India under the Union government has asked Bought Leaf Factories to stop buying tea leaves for small tea growers without proper certification.

Niraj Poddar, secretary of the North Bengal Tea Producers Welfare Association, stated: “A high-level meeting was held on Thursday during which a decision was made for purchased leaf factories to begin accepting green leaves from small tea growers starting Friday. A two-year timeframe was given to address the issue of using banned pesticides during green tea cultivation.”

Present at the meeting were Jalpaiguri District Magistrate Shama Parveen, Tea Board Deputy Director Subir Hazra, and state Agriculture department Principal Secretary Onkardas Meena. Additionally, through online participation, state Industrial department Secretary Vandana Yadav, along with district magistrates from four other districts in North Bengal and the secretary of the state Health department attended the meeting. Bijay Gopal Chakraborty, General Secretary of the Jalpaiguri District Small Tea Growers Association, remarked: “The meeting requested a two-year grace period. During this time, the use of any chemicals banned by the Tea Board of India will be gradually discontinued. The organisation will actively promote this initiative among tea farmers on behalf of the association.”

Sanjit Kumar Sarkar, a member of the Small Tea Growers Association from Bidhan Nagar under the Phansidewa block, expressed gratitude, stating: “We thank Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for considering our plight. We hope this issue will be resolved within the next two years.” In North Bengal, there are approximately 10 lakh small tea growers, with 420 million kg of tea produced annually, of which 255 million kg is processed by factories under the North Bengal Tea Producers Welfare Association. There are a total of 234 bought-leaf factories in North Bengal.

Recently, the Tea Board of India issued guidelines stipulating that no banned pesticides can be used in tea production to ensure public safety. They instructed bought-leaf tea factory owners that if any banned pesticides are found in tea, the factory will be held accountable, and action will be taken against it. Consequently, bought-leaf factories decided to stop accepting leaves without an MRL certificate. On Wednesday, when small tea growers from the Phansidewa area arrived with raw leaves at a tea factory in Bidhan Nagar, they were refused acceptance without an MRL certificate. In protest, the small tea growers dumped the tea leaves on National Highway 31.

Intelligent robots join workforce to help tea picking in China’s Hangzhou

By |2024-04-11T18:23:46+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments

















In the origin area of the renowned West Lake Longjing tea bushes in east China’s Zhejiang Province, newly upgraded intelligent robots are accurately locating and picking tea buds and leaves, providing reliable assistance to local tea planters during the busiest season for spring tea picking.

The Qingming Festival, which falls on Wednesday this year, is the major harvest period for premium spring tea.

The newly upgraded sixth-generation intelligent tea-picking robot uses photovoltaic power generation technology and can achieve continuous tea-picking 24 hours a day.

The head of the robot’s development team said that the robot has a set of recognition models called deep convolutional neural networks. After training from a large amount of image data, it can automatically identify tea buds and leaves that are ready for harvest.

“For different regions and different times, we have to feed a large number of images for learning. Last year, our recognition was able to reach an accuracy rate of about 90 percent. This year we have an improved version, and its recognition success rate should be about two percentage points higher than that in the previous years,” said Wu Chuanyu, head of the robot’s development team.

After continuous exploration and experiments, the intelligent picking robot can use binocular cameras to scan tea leaves to achieve 3D positioning just like human eyes, thereby accurately finding the location of the tea buds and leaves.

“It can move freely like a human being, and can discover the buds that are blocked. Therefore, the identification efficiency of our picking this year will be improved. When our robot moves over, it will basically pick all the buds that can be harvested,” Wu said.

After identifying and locating the tea buds, the next step is to pick them quickly and without damage. At this time, another key function of the robot is needed, the mechanical arm.

Experts said that the buds and leaves of early spring tea are about two centimeters each, and the petiole is only a few millimeters. The buds and leaves usually grow between the old leaves and old stems, which poses a high demand on the accuracy of the operation of the robotic arm.

“It has a rotatable part at the end, with additional degree in freedom of rotation. It is really like human hands, and can approach the buds from different fixed angles. This is one of the reasons why we can improve the success rate of its efficient picking this year compared to the previous years,” said Wu.

Longjing tea, also known as West Lake Dragon Well tea, is a variety of green tea. As one of China’s 10 most famous teas, it is characterized by its green color, delicate aroma, mellow taste, and beautiful shape.

The 11 Best Electrolyte Drinks of 2024

By |2024-04-11T18:23:15+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments


Electrolyte drinks are geared to support hydration for everyone—not just athletes. These drinks are more than plain water; they have electrolytes, including sodium, potassium, and chloride. These are important for fluid balance within the body and can help rehydrate the body more efficiently, explains Lexi Moriarty, MS, RDN, CSSD. 

Electrolyte drinks are popular before, during, or after exercise because electrolytes are lost during sweat. However, electrolyte drinks can also be helpful in replacing fluids if you have digestive upsets like diarrhea or vomiting. Emerging research also suggests that stress may lead to lower levels of certain nutrients, including electrolytes, so even non-athletes may benefit from sipping electrolyte drinks.

Some electrolyte drinks also contain sugar to replenish glycogen stores after exercise or have additional vitamins and minerals added. The amount and type of electrolyte drinks you need depends on whether you are exercising or just trying to stay hydrated during the day. Electrolyte drinks are safe for most people, but those with kidney health concerns or trouble with fluid balance should consult a healthcare professional before taking them.

To get the best electrolyte drinks, we interviewed experts, tested 23 products in our lab, and evaluated them for taste, texture, smell, aftertaste, and overall value. Our nutrition editor, a registered dietitian, also rated these for nutrition quality and differentiated which drinks are best for exercise or non-exercise.

What are Electrolytes?

Electrolytes are specific minerals that help maintain fluid balance, prevent dehydration, and regulate certain chemical reactions, such as muscle contractions and transmitting signals through your nerves. Sodium and potassium are the most well-known electrolytes because of their role in fluid balance during exercise, but there are five other important electrolytes—magnesium, chloride, phosphorus, calcium, and bicarbonate. They all work together and have unique roles in the body, and too much or too little of any electrolyte can lead to—and be a sign of—health concerns. Electrolyte drinks are meant to help restore electrolyte levels in the body, especially if you have lost a lot through sweat or illness.


A Note About Supplements

Dietary supplements are minimally regulated by the FDA and may or may not be suitable for you. They also may interact with other supplements or medications you are taking. Our team of registered dietitians reviews supplements according to our rigorous dietary supplement methodology. We also had a registered dietitian review this page for its scientific accuracy. Please always speak with a healthcare provider to discuss any supplements you plan on taking.

Best Overall

DripDrop Electrolyte Powder Packets

DripDrop


Why We Like It

DripDrop Electrolyte Powder Packets top our list because they not only scored full points for taste but also mixed incredibly well with water, creating a completely smooth beverage within seconds of mixing. We loved the watermelon flavor, which was reminiscent of a watermelon jolly rancher. It tasted so good that we actually wanted to keep drinking it, which isn’t always the case with electrolyte drinks.

With 330 mg of sodium and 185 mg of potassium, these packets are highly concentrated with electrolytes and will help you meet the International Society for Sports Nutrition’s (ISSN) recommendations of 300 to 600 mg of sodium per hour of exercise. It also contains nine grams of carbohydrates, which the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends can help increase sodium absorption and hydration.

We also appreciate that they come in individual packets, making them convenient for travel, packing in your gym bag, or taking with you to races. They’re available in nine flavors ranging from citrus fruits to berries and tropical flavors.  

It’s Worth Noting

It’s recommended that you mix these with eight ounces of water, which is only about half the recommended amount of fluid per hour of exercise, so you may need to supplement with additional water. We did find these packets to be very sweet, which is likely due to the combination of sucralose and sugar, so you could also dilute them with more water. 

Our tester, who has a very sensitive stomach, did note a little stomach upset after she drank this, so we recommend testing it out before you head out for a run to make sure it sits well with you.

If you exercise for a longer period of time (greater than one hour), you may need additional carbohydrates or electrolytes.

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder packet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, magnesium
  • Sodium per Serving: 330 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 9 grams
  • Added Sugar: 7 grams 

Best Unflavored

Buoy Electrolyte Drops

Buoy Electrolyte Drops
Amazon


Why We Like It

Buoy Hydration Drops are our favorite unflavored way to get electrolytes. We could not detect any added flavor whether we mixed this in water or other flavored beverages like juice. Because it’s liquid, it mixed well with fluids and was completely undetectable. This product is also third-party tested, which isn’t common for electrolytes. 

With only 50 mg of sodium per serving, it’s a good option for non-exercising, where you don’t need to replace a significant amount of electrolytes. If needed, you could add more than one dose to your water to boost the electrolyte content. Since the electrolyte amount is low, this could be a good option if you want to test out an electrolyte and see how you like it. We also appreciate how small the bottles are because they’re easy to keep in a gym bag and are travel-friendly. 

It’s Worth Noting

The amount of sodium provided per serving is not significant enough to support exercise or other needs to replace higher amounts of electrolytes, and the amount of other electrolytes provided per serving is negligible. These also contain additional nutrients, including trace minerals, B vitamins, and antioxidants.

Product Details:

  • Form: Drops
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium
  • Sodium per Serving: 50 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 0 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Best for Travel

Cure Hydrating Electrolyte Mix

Cure Hydrating Electrolyte Mix
Amazon


Why We Like It

Whether you’re traveling to a race or you’re just always on the go, the Cure Hydrating Electrolyte mix is a great option to keep in your bag. The packets are convenient since they are portable single servings, but they are especially helpful for air travel; this is because air travel can cause dehydration due to very low humidity in plane cabins.

It comes in eight flavors (we personally tried the lime), and each packet contains 240 mg of sodium and 300 mg of potassium. While this is more potassium than you need to support most workouts, it may be a helpful way to meet your total potassium needs if you’re not getting enough through diet. This can be especially helpful during travel when access to fresh fruits and vegetables is limited. 

They taste like the flavor with just a little salt added, and when mixed with just eight ounces of water, it wasn’t too sweet or salty. While there was a bit of an aftertaste, we didn’t find it unpleasant, and it went away within a few minutes. 

They are also FSA/HSA approved (Flexible Spending Account/Health Savings Account), meaning you can pay for this with your FSA or HSA card. 

It’s Worth Noting

It doesn’t completely dissolve in eight ounces of water, and there was a bit of a grainy texture. This may be better mixed with more water. In addition, it’s sweetened with stevia and monk fruit, which some people may not prefer, but makes this a product with no added sugar. It’s lower in carbohydrates, so it’s probably not enough to rely on to renew muscle carbohydrates after exercise.

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder packet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium
  • Sodium per Serving: 240 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 6 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Best with Antioxidants

Kaged Hydra Charge

Kaged Hydra Charge
Amazon


Why We Like It

Kaged Hydra Charge combines electrolytes and antioxidants in one. In addition to 115 mg of sodium and 107 mg of potassium per serving, it also contains a small amount of magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus, along with an extensive antioxidant blend from 29 different fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants can protect cells from free radicals, which are byproducts of energy production, and form from exercise, smoking, pollution, and more. 

This electrolyte powder also includes taurine, an amino acid that some research shows can improve performance with high-intensity exercise and decrease muscle fatigue. However, more research is needed. 

We love the pink lemonade flavor—it tastes exactly as you’d expect a glass of pink lemonade to and leaves no unpleasant aftertaste. And if pink lemonade isn’t your flavor of choice, there are seven other flavors to choose from. It’s thirst-quenching, and we found it to be very hydrating on and after a run. It’s recommended you mix the powder with 10 to 14 ounces of water, and we found that it dissolves easily in 10 ounces with no grainy texture

It’s Worth Noting

This option is best for non-exercise or paired with another carbohydrate source since it only has one gram of carbohydrates. It’s sweetened with stevia and sucralose, which not everyone likes the taste of. The antioxidant blend contains ingredients, such as coffee and green tea extract, garlic, and turmeric, that could interact with certain medications; always check with your healthcare provider before taking this if you are taking any medications.

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium
  • Sodium per Serving: 115 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 1 gram
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Best Tablet

NOW Sports Effervescent Effer-Hydrate

Amazon NOW Sports Effervescent Effer-Hydrate
Amazon


Why We Like It

For a simple, effective, and tasty electrolyte tablet, we recommend NOW Sports Nutrition Effervescent Effer-Hydrate. It has a nice balance of sweet and sour flavor, with no overpowering sweetness that can come with some sports drinks or powders. We also like the slight effervescent taste and texture, which stands out from other options on the market. 

The tablets take a little longer to dissolve in water (around one minute) than some powders, but they dissolve fully without needing to shake or stir. With 360 mg of sodium, it offers more sodium than many of the powders on this list, making it a good option for endurance athletes or anyone working out in a hot climate where they may lose a lot of sodium through sweat. 

It’s Worth Noting

It’s sweetened with stevia, and the smell was much stronger than the taste. While the sodium level is a good option for endurance exercise, note that you may need to pair it with another carbohydrate source after exercise.

Product Details:

  • Form: Tablet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium
  • Sodium per Serving: 360 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 1 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Best Subtle Flavor

Nectar Daily Hydration

Nectar Daily Hydration
Nectar 


Why We Like It

For those who like or can only stomach just a hint of flavor, we recommend Nectar Daily Hydration. The pomegranate cherry flavor had just enough tartness to hide any salt, but it’s not overpowering or too sweet, which can be appealing during a workout. It also didn’t have any significant smell, so if powerful smells are off-putting to you, this may be a great option. 

Nectar was developed with natural ingredients, which is why it is flavored with organic fruits instead of artificial flavors. With a blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, and calcium, Nectar Daily Hydration provides a variety of electrolytes. The combination of a variety of electrolytes and subtly of flavor makes this a good option if you are experiencing digestive issues and find yourself vomiting or having diarrhea. Each serving has 100 mg of sodium (4% DV), 15% DV of magnesium, and 6% DV of calcium, potassium, and chloride.

It’s Worth Noting

It’s sweetened with stevia and doesn’t have enough sodium per serving to support most prolonged ultra-sweaty exercise sessions. This option is best for no-to-light exercise or if you just need a boost in hydration after a night out. 

We also found that there were a few remaining clumps of powder after shaking the drink.

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder packet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride
  • Sodium per Serving: 100 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 0 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 
  • Third-Party Tested: No

Best Taste

Primal Harvest Primal Hydration

Amazon Primal Harvest Primal Hydration
Amazon


Why We Like It

Primal Harvest’s Primal Hydration is the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and salty. The berry lemon flavor reminded us of strawberry lemonade, and much to our surprise, there was no aftertaste. We also like that it dissolves easily in water with no residue. 

The high sodium content of these packets (400 mg) makes them a good option for anyone who loses a lot of salt in sweat generally or from longer workouts, high-intensity workouts or workouts under the sun. According to Katie Schimmelpfenning, RD, Founder of Eat Swim Win, you’ll know you lose a lot of salt if you finish a workout with a crust of salt on your skin or shirt. 

These packets also contain vitamin C and several B vitamins, which won’t necessarily help with hydration but could help you meet your total vitamin needs if you don’t get enough through diet. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that is protective against free radicals, while B vitamins support energy production, among other things. 

It’s Worth Noting

These packets are higher in sodium and may be too much for some people. They’re also sweetened with stevia, which some may not appreciate the taste.

If you are taking a multivitamin with vitamin C and B vitamins, you may want to avoid this pick since the amounts per serving in this electrolyte drink are beyond the daily needs of most people. 

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder Packet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium
  • Sodium per Serving: 400 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 2 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Best for Exercise

Skratch Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix

Skratch Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix
Amazon


Why We Like It

We love Skratch Labs Sport Hydration Drink Mix for exercise because it contains an adequate amount of sodium (400 mg) to support anything you lose in sweat as well as 20 grams of carbohydrates to fuel your workout. While many of the other options we picked are significantly lower in calories, the 80 calories of this electrolyte drink are well worth it. Carbohydrates are the optimal energy source for exercise, meaning this option can provide more energy without feeling full before a workout

We appreciated the subtle taste with little-to-no aftertaste. It comes in seven flavors and is available in bulk bags or single-serve packs, which would be convenient for travel or if you’re often on the go.

If you aren’t a fan of the stevia used in many of the other picks, Scratch Labs uses cane sugar and dextrose as sweeteners

It’s Worth Noting

Even after stirring for 30 seconds, there was some undissolved powder at the bottom of the glass.

Note that while the carbohydrates from added sugar (19 grams) are great for exercise, it may not be the best choice if you are watching your sugar intake or not exercising. 

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder Packet
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium
  • Sodium per Serving: 380 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 20 grams
  • Added Sugar: 19 grams 

Best with Caffeine

Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel

Amazon Tailwind Nutrition Endurance Fuel Raspberry
Amazon


Why We Like It

If you want a little boost of caffeine with your electrolytes before or during your workout, Tailwind Nutrition Caffeinated Endurance Fuel is a good option. Caffeine has been shown to improve exercise performance, particularly speed when consumed before exercise. With 35 milligrams of caffeine per serving—about the amount in a cup of green tea—it won’t give you a big buzz but may make your workout feel a tad easier. In addition to caffeine and electrolytes, it has 25 grams of carbohydrates per serving, which will help fuel your workout and replace energy used during exercise, which is especially important for those exercising for more than an hour. This combination of carbohydrates and caffeine can be a good choice for endurance athletes

We loved both the taste of this drink—not too sweet or salty—and it mixed well with water, leaving the texture very smooth. Because it comes in bulk bags, you can also adjust the serving size to fit your individual workout needs, adding more or less. 

It’s Worth Noting

This drink had a slight aftertaste that lingered for a bit, but it wasn’t overly unpleasant.

The 25 grams of carbohydrates come from dextrose and cane sugar, which some may prefer the taste of, but also be mindful if you are watching your sugar intake. 

The bulk bag might not be a good option if you plan on taking this on the go, but Tailwind’s product is also available in single-serve packets.

Product Details:

  • Form: Powder in bulk bag
  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium
  • Sodium per Serving: 310 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 25 grams
  • Added Sugar: 25 grams 

Best for Non-Exercise

Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Hydration Powder

Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Hydration Powder
Amazon


Why We Like It

If you’re looking to increase your electrolyte intake throughout the day, Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Hydration Powder is a good option. But with only 55 milligrams of sodium, this is a better option for rest days or light exercise days rather than to support high-sweat workouts. 

The blend of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and chloride gives you a variety of electrolytes, including 25 percent of your daily magnesium needs. Since it’s estimated that nearly half of American adults don’t get enough magnesium through diet, this may be helpful to meet your magnesium needs.

When we tried this out in the lab, we found that it mixes easily with water, leaving little residue, and we enjoyed the peach Bellini flavor. It wasn’t too sweet or salty, though it was definitely a more diluted flavor than the cocktail. 

It’s Worth Noting

This mix did have a pretty strong aftertaste, and it’s sweetened with stevia. In addition, it contains magnesium citrate, which can act as a laxative. Luckily, the amount per serving of this drink isn’t enough for that effect, but keep this in mind if you are taking other magnesium supplements. 

Product Details:

  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, chloride
  • Sodium per Serving: 55 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 25 grams
  • Added Sugar: 25 grams 

Best for Athletes

Thorne Research Catalyte

Thorne Research Catalyte Lemon Lime Flavored
Amazon


Why We Like It

Thorne’s Catylate not only provides the electrolytes you need to support your workout but also provides additional nutrients, including Vitamin C, B vitamins, and zinc. Zinc plays a role in creating DNA, building proteins, healing damaged tissue, and supporting our immune system. 

This powder contains 485 milligrams of sodium per scoop, making it a good option for those who sweat a lot and for longer workouts in the heat. However, it contains very little carbohydrates, so you would need another source of carbs to fuel your workout. Because it’s NSF Certified for Sport, it’s a great option for any competitive athletes because it’s been tested to ensure it doesn’t contain any harmful contaminants or ingredients banned by sport. This is one of the few electrolyte drinks that have been third-party tested.

It’s Worth Noting


This mix scored a little lower on flavor than some of the others on our list, as we found the lime flavor to be overpowering and the taste to be a little artificial. But the aftertaste faded relatively quickly. 

Product Details:

  • Electrolytes: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride
  • Sodium per Serving: 485 mg
  • Carbohydrates: 5 grams
  • Added Sugar: 0 grams 

Electrolytes and Third-Party Testing

Electrolyte drinks that are ready to drink are under FDA regulation for safety. However, electrolyte drink powders are considered supplements and are not reviewed by the FDA for safety and effectiveness. Therefore, choosing a quality product from a trusted brand is most important, especially if you are a competitive athlete.

Third-party tested products that test for banned substances in sports include NSF Certified for Sport and Informed-Sport Certified. ConsumerLab.com also has more information on third-party testing information on certain electrolyte drinks.

More Electrolyte Drinks to Consider

  • Drink LMNT Recharge: With 1,000 milligrams per serving, this may be a good option for someone who has high sodium needs (high-intensity exercise for an hour or more or exercise in high heat), but some may find the salty taste to be overpowering and difficult to drink. 
  • Liquid IV Hydration Multiplier: With 500 milligrams of sodium and 370 milligrams of potassium, this is a good option for a long, hot workout, but we didn’t love the taste; it left a very salty aftertaste in our mouth.
  • Gatorade Gatorlyte Rapid Rehydration Electrolyte Beverage: This ready-to-drink electrolyte drink has a mix of electrolytes and carbohydrates, making it a good choice for exercise. However, we thought it had a strong, unpleasant, salty aftertaste.

Should I Take Electrolytes?

Most people can drink electrolyte drinks at any time of the day without harming their health. However, electrolyte drinks with sugar are meant to be consumed before, during, or after exercise, as sugary drinks at rest are not necessary (unless you are dealing with digestive issues). Drinks with higher amounts of sodium are best for replacing electrolytes lost through sweat.

The following groups of people may especially benefit from electrolyte drinks.

  • People Who Exercise: If your workout is less than 60 minutes or it’s a low-impact workout where you’re not sweating much, such as gentle yoga or pilates, you probably won’t get much benefit from an electrolyte drink. An electrolyte drink might be a good choice for you if you work out:
  • For longer than 60 to 90 minutes 
  • In extreme heat
  • And sweat a lot during a workout, especially if you notice a salt layer on your skin or clothes after you’re finished.
  • And eat a limited diet and don’t get adequate electrolytes from food.
  • Those with diarrhea or vomiting: Electrolyte drinks are helpful for replenishing fluid losses, especially from digestive issues such as diarrhea and vomiting. Drinks with some carbohydrates can help you get some energy in if you can’t stomach eating whole foods.
  • Those with high stress: Emerging research suggests that chronic psychological or environmental stress may deplete minerals in the body, including electrolytes. However, more research is needed to understand the true benefits of adding electrolyte drinks and how much you need to help balance the effects stress has on electrolytes.

People who should not take electrolytes: Anyone with kidney disease or other conditions that may affect their fluid and electrolyte balance, like congestive heart failure, should always speak with a healthcare provider before using electrolyte drinks, as they may not be best for you.

Our Supplement Testing Process

Our team works hard to be transparent about why we recommend certain supplements; you can read more about our dietary supplement methodology here.  

We support supplements that are evidence-based and rooted in science. We value certain product attributes that we find to be associated with the highest quality products. We prioritize products that are third-party tested and certified by one of three independent, third-party certifiers: USP, NSF, or ConsumerLab.com.

It’s important to note that the FDA does not review dietary supplements for safety and effectiveness before they go to market. Our team of experts has created a detailed, science-backed methodology to choose the supplements we recommend and gives more details on what we specifically look for in supplements.

We tested 23 products in The Lab and rated each product for flavor, texture, aftertaste, smell, and value. Eleven of the 23 products scored high enough overall to meet our criteria to top our list. 

  • Taste: We rated for overall flavor and noted any overpowering salt taste. Some products lost points here for tasting too salty, too sweet, or for having a strong artificial flavor.
  • Texture: Some products mixed perfectly and easily with water, while others left sediment at the bottom or became grainy when mixed. We rated products on dissolvability and how long it took to dissolve. 
  • Aftertaste: We noted any aftertaste, whether unpleasant or how long it lingered. Those with strong unpleasant aftertastes scored lower than those that either had no aftertaste or were faint and dissolved quickly. 
  • Smell: We noted any strong or off putting smells, or if it smelled differently than we expected based on flavor.  
  • Value: Each tester noted whether or not they felt the product they tested was worth the cost, was a good deal, or was too expensive. This is highly subjective, and what may feel expensive to one person may not be to another, especially if the attributes fit their needs.
  • Nutrition: Our nutrition editors analyzed each product based on its quality of ingredients, amount of electrolytes (particularly sodium, potassium, and magnesium), and other nutrients added. Each product was rated based on its intended use, such as for exercise or non-exercise. 

Our Experts

We interviewed three registered dietitians who work with athletes and specialize in sports nutrition to help us understand who can benefit from electrolyte drinks, what to look for, and how and when to consume them.

  • Katie Schimmelpfenning, RD: Founder of Eat Swim Win, and former Division 1 athlete.
  • Lexi Moriarty, MS, RDN, CSSD, a Certified Sports Dietitian and owner of Fueled + Balanced Nutrition. 
  • Amber Trejo, MS, RDN, NASM-CPT, a Registered Dietitian with a master’s degree in Nutrition in Human Performance and a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine. 
  • Shushy Rita Setrakian, MS, RDN, a Registered Dietitian and one of our nutrition and supplement commerce editors. Shushy is passionate about converting nutrition science into meaningful dietary recommendations for her clients. She has an eye for spotting the latest nutrition trends, research and breaking down what that can mean for your supplement and food choices.

Types of Electrolytes

There are seven minerals that are considered electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, phosphorus, and bicarbonate. Sodium is the most important electrolyte to replenish during exercise because it’s lost in sweat, but potassium and magnesium are also lost in sweat to a lesser degree and need to be replaced. Bicarbonate has also been shown to support short-duration, high-intensity exercise. Overall, electrolyte intake is essential to support hydration and important bodily functions. 

Ingredients: What to Pay Attention To

It is essential to carefully read the ingredient list and nutrition facts panel of a supplement to know which ingredients and how much of each ingredient is included, relative to the recommended daily value of that ingredient. Please bring the supplement label to a healthcare provider to review the different ingredients contained in the supplement and any potential interactions between these ingredients and other supplements and medications you are taking.

Some electrolyte drinks include additional ingredients that may or may not be helpful for you. Ingredients to consider include: 

  • Sodium: the amount of sodium you need in an electrolyte drink will vary depending on your individual needs. Athletes, especially endurance athletes, will need more sodium during exercise to replace sodium lost in sweat. Less active people will want to choose a product that’s lower in sodium so you don’t get too much sodium.
  • Sugar: During exercise longer than 60 minutes, it’s helpful to consume 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates to replace glycogen stores and fuel your workout, explains Moriarty. Glucose (sugar) electrolyte solutions also help reduce the risk of dehydration, which can be helpful after exercise. (source) However, outside of prolonged exercise, sugar in drinks is not necessary and can lead to getting too much sugar in your diet.
  • Alternative sweeteners: If it’s not sweetened with sugar, the drink is likely sweetened with an alternative sweetener such as stevia. These are generally recognized as safe by the FDA, but they may not suit everyone’s taste preferences.
  • Vitamins and other minerals: Some electrolyte solutions also contain other nutrients. This may help close any nutrient gaps that you don’t get through diet or help you meet higher nutrient needs. However, too much is not always a good thing when it comes to vitamins and minerals. It’s always best to check with your healthcare provider before choosing a product that contains additional nutrients.
  • Antioxidants: some electrolyte drinks add antioxidants. There isn’t research to support these benefits outside of consuming them through food, but they are unlikely to be harmful to a healthy person. If you are taking any medications, check with your healthcare provider to be sure none of the antioxidants interact with your medications.

How Much Electrolytes Should I Drink?

Since electrolytes are lost in sweat, the exact amount you need will depend on how much you sweat, and that may vary by season and type of exercise. Sodium chloride (salt) is the most important electrolyte to replace during exercise, as it’s the electrolyte that is lost the most in sweat. However, some potassium and magnesium are also lost in sweat. The International Society for Sports Nutrition recommends consuming between 300 and 600 milligrams of sodium per hour during prolonged exercise.

If you want to estimate your sweat rate and electrolyte loss, Schimmelpfenning recommends a sweat rate tester like the Gatorade Gx sweat patch. She also recommends paying attention to how much salt crust is on your shirt and skin after exercise to help determine if you’re a salty sweater or not.  She recommends that most people drink electrolyte drinks that contain 150-180 mg of sodium and 60-75 mg of potassium per 8 fluid ounces after exercise.

Outside of exercise or spending prolonged time in the heat where you are sweating a lot, electrolyte drinks may not offer much benefit unless you’re not getting enough in your diet. Keep in mind it is possible to consume too much electrolytes. Too much sodium, without enough fluid, can lead to something called hypernatremia, which can increase blood pressure, and too much potassium can cause an irregular heartbeat, explains Trejo, MS, RDN, NASM-CPT. She also notes that anyone with kidney disease should be cautious with electrolyte drinks and speak to their healthcare provider first. 

When Should I Drink An Electrolyte Drink?

Electrolyte drinks can be consumed before, during, and after exercise to support hydration and fluid balance. While water is enough for exercise less than 45 to 60 minutes, The International Society of Sports Nutrition recommends consuming sports drinks that contain electrolytes and glucose during endurance exercise longer than 60 minutes. 

You can drink electrolyte beverages at any time of day, but more research is needed to support the benefits of this practice. In other words, they appear to be neutral—there is no specific benefit (or harm) to drinking electrolyte beverages throughout the day. Some research suggests it may help replace levels lowered from high stress, but more research is needed.

OTC Birth Control Heads to the Supermarket

By |2024-04-11T18:23:12+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments

Did someone say reproductive rights on aisle 4?

Well, it’s about time! The country’s first FDA-approved, over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill is now available in some retailers across the country.

That means you can walk in and purchase Opill, a progestin-only birth control pill, without a prescription. The FDA approved Opill back in July 2023. Now it’s showing up in major pharmacies and grocery stores including Walgreens, CVS and Walmart.

Read: Why Access to Contraception Matters for Women of All Ages >>

If you’re not seeing it in your local store, don’t worry: Shipments of the birth control started in March so it may take more time to see it on the shelves near you. But you can buy Opill online from the retailers above and at opill.com.

Yes, you read that right. Opill is available online without a prescription. Virtual cheers to another first for access to contraceptives!

Here’s more on what you need to know about Opill.

How do you take Opill?

You should take one pill at the same time every day. Note: Opill doesn’t start working until two days after you take the first pill. To prevent pregnancy during this time, use another form of barrier birth control, like a condom, spermicide, cervical cap or diaphragm.

Do you need health insurance to buy Opill?

Nope. You can walk into any store carrying Opill and purchase it without insurance. And no one will ask you for your insurance information.

Who shouldn’t take Opill?

You shouldn’t take Opill if you:

  • Have breast cancer or had breast cancer in the past
  • Are pregnant or think you may be pregnant
  • Are taking birth control pills or using another form of birth control, including a vaginal ring, patch, implant, injection or IUD

Also, if you’re taking medication for seizures, tuberculosis, HIV or AIDS, or pulmonary hypertension, talk to your healthcare provider (HCP) or your pharmacist before taking Opill. Medications for these health conditions may interact with the pill and make it less effective. Opill may also interact with morning after pill.

How much does Opill cost?

Opill costs $19.99 for a month supply, $49.99 for a three-month supply and $89.99 for a six-month supply. If you need assistance with the cost of Opill, read about the Opill Cost Assistance Program (Opill CAP). You may be eligible to get the pill for free or at a reduced cost.

If you’re interested in taking the non-prescription pill, it’s always a good idea to talk to your HCP before taking any new medications. But we can all celebrate this step toward access to contraception.

Moor Mud Treatment – Women Fitness

By |2024-04-11T18:23:09+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments


Mud may not be one of the most glamorous forms of treatment in the world, but it is certainly one of the oldest. Mud packs and masks were used by the ancient Egyptians and Romans for various ailments as well as beauty treatments, and were often given with other spa treatments as part of a cure. Therapeutic mud often comes from areas around mineral springs, and the high mineral content of the mud is regarded as one of the main reasons for its beneficial effects.

Unlike other mud used in the spa industry, Torf Moor Mud contains virtually no clay (less then 3%) and consists of organic residue of herbs, flowers and grasses. Over period of thousands of years this residue was transformed into a fine paste that easily dissolves in the water, has unusual concentration of bio-minerals, trace elements, vitamins, amino acids, plant hormones and fatty acids in a molecular form that is easy for the human skin to absorb. Think of it as a plant extract not from just one plant, but hundreds that reflects environment of Earth 10.000 years ago, without present day pollution.

It is used not only to beautify, but also to cure multitude of ailments from mobility problems, arthritis, and hormonal imbalance to post surgery recovery and muscle recovery in sport medicine. Its actions are thermo-physical, biochemical, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and natural antibiotics. Because peat has chelatic properties (it binds heavy metal isotopes) it is a very strong natural detoxifier.

Therapeutic Mud:

Taking the waters both drinking them and bathing in them as well as all-over mud body wraps are frequently seen as important elements of a health regime and annual spa cure is very much a part of everyday life. People may take cures for specific problems, such as arthritis or psoriasis, or as a more general detoxification.

Moor Mud Treatment – Women Fitness

Although mud treatments are now enjoying something of a revival, people have known of their therapeutic powers for a long period of time. One of the most famous sources of therapeutic mud is the Neydharting Moor, about 60 km (37 miles) from Salzburg in Austria. Neydharting Moor is uniquely rich in decomposed plant life, with over 1000 plant deposits: flowering herbs, seeds, leaves, flowers, tubers, fruit, roots and grasses. Three hundred of them have recognized medicinal properties, and many of them are extinct or even unique to this one site. Medical evidence shows that Moor mud is both anti-inflammatory and astringent. This means it is particularly useful for detoxification, in treating skin disorders such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, and for rheumatism and arthritis. It is used, too, for beauty treatments, to remedy dry hair, and to reduce cellulite.

The mud comes in a variety of forms including body lotion and oil; the Moor mud bath and the Moor mud drink are particularly recommended.

Moor drink and Moor mud bath:

Drinking mud does not sound very appetizing and it does actually look like mud which doesn’t help. However, although a teaspoonful mixed in a glass of water or fruit juice may colour the liquid, it has neither taste nor odour. Take the drink about half an hour before you prepare for a Moor mud bath.

The best time for a Moor mud bath is immediately before bedtime. Make sure the bathroom is warm, and run a deep bath, pouring in the Moor mud according to the instructions on the container. Mix it in well, or you will end up with muddy globules floating around in the water. Put some warm towels close to the bath to use when you come out.

Lie in the bath for 20-30 minutes. Splash the water on your face, too. You can also rinse it through your hair, if you don’t mind having to dry it before you get into bed. Just try to relax in the bath, perhaps with some quiet music in the background. When you are ready to get out, pat yourself dry, but don’t rub the towel over your skin. Leave as much residue from the bath on the surface of your skin as possible. Go to bed as soon as you are dry.

Government mulling quicker reports of health problems in food

By |2024-04-11T18:23:03+02:00April 11, 2024|Fitness News|0 Comments



Alarmed at the benikoji health scare, government officials are considering updating food safety and labeling laws to require companies to promptly report health problems caused by their food products.

At least five people have died as a result of ingesting Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co.’s dietary supplements made from benikoji, a red yeast.

These products included “Benikoji coleste-help,” which was touted to lower cholesterol levels.

However, the Osaka-based company did not report these health problems to the central government for about two months.

Government officials believe the problem likely wouldn’t have spread if the company had promptly notified the authorities.

According to several government sources, the Food Sanitation Law may be revised to require companies to file reports with the central government when health problems arise.

Currently, the law only “encourages” companies to report such problems to the prefectural governor.

Officials are also considering changing the Food Labeling Law because the Kobayashi Pharmaceutical supplements were sold as foods with function claims (FFC) under the provisions of that law.

The law currently allows companies to label products claiming they have certain functions if those products meet the law’s food labeling standards.

The system was established in 2015 under then Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose administration included FCC products as part of its economic growth strategy.

The government is now also considering requiring companies that sell FCC products to promptly report any health problems that arise in their customers.
