Electrolytes - white rat report
Potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium are known as electrolytes and are essential to cell function. There has to be enough and in the right balance. It is what the "Sports Drink" industry is all about.
Yours truly had been having increasing problems over the last couple of months. More "offs". More freezing. Harder starts in the morning. Return of periods when walking difficult. Took my FIRST FALL a week ago! Bummer!
Just by coincidence, had routine visit to GP last week too. Ran simple blood work, nurse called."Potassium down. Take supplement."
Started yesterday. Thus far today, am new man! Stay tuned.
PS- Remember Steffi's miracle tonic? Electrolytes!
