I’ll start this blog by freely admitting that I tend to go overboard on things I like, especially if they’re related to health, but I have to tell you how excited I am about our new product – Essential Electrolytes!  It’s a lemon-lime flavored powder that supplies several electrolytes, including magnesium.  For a complete list of ingredients you can click here .

I’ve been testing this product for a few months prior to us bringing it into our product line, and I wanted to share with you some of my experiences:
• One night I was having terrible foot cramping for no apparent reason, so I took a dose of Essential Electrolytes (I’ll abbreviate as EE from here on as a special treat to acronym lovers out there) dissolved in a big glass of water.  Within 30 minutes, the cramps that had been happening on and off for over an hour went away!
• Last month I had a dull headache that lasted for several days which I realized on day 3 was most likely due to not drinking enough water.  I increased my water intake and also took 3 or 4 doses of EE over the day and by the afternoon the headache was gone.
• A chiropractor I work with gives a dose of EE to her patients before adjusting them and has found that it helps them hold the adjustment and not suffer any “detox” reaction from being adjusted.  I have started taking it before I go to have any kind of body work (massage, acupuncture, or chiropractic) done, so I get the most for my money!
• A horse trainer I know who is an outdoorsy type (as most horse trainers are) was feeling very fatigued, and he remembered a conversation we’d had about electrolytes in the past so he went to Marilyn Farms and bought a bottle of EE.  He said that after incorporating it into his routine he feels “back to his old self” and has joined me on the bandwagon of promoting electrolytes.
• When I started writing this blog I had a slight headache at the base of my neck (you know, the kind you get after sitting at a desk staring at a computer all day long) so I took a scoop of EE in a small cup of water and now I feel so good I think I’ll stare at my computer all night, just for fun!  Okay, I’m kidding about that but I do actually feel better and it’s only been 5 minutes since I took it.

So are you convinced?  If not, that’s okay.  But if so and if you have a story to share about electrolytes I’d love to hear it!  Please post it in the comments section.  I’m getting better about responding to those – really.
