The Key to Hydration
OLA LOA vitamin drinks offer protection against dehydration and low adrenal function by supplementing the four major mineral electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. It all comes down to the fact that life chemistry is entirely dependent on chemical reactions in water and maintaining molecular concentrations is crucial to survival. Osmotic pressure is the key to maintaining concentrations within survival limits.
OLA LOA products offer added protection to stabilize water concentration within cells by means of amine osmolytes: glycine, betaine (TMG), and taurine. These amines are called osmolytes because they can enter the body cells and they attract water by osmotic action to balance the molecular pressures of water across the cell membrane, Osmolytes thus take the place of electrolytes, especially sodium, and potassium, in case of electrolyte depletion by heat stress, sweating, diarrhea and adrenal gland weakness or exhaustion.
Since 1994 supplements have been regulated by the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act (DSHEA), which for all intents and purposes, classifies supplements and dietary ingredients as food. Oversight of the law falls under the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), which has as its primary mission, to ensure that supplement ingredients are safe, not adulterated or misbranded, and to oversee claims made by supplement marketers. Unlike pharmaceutical companies which can make disease claims, supplements are limited to “structure/function” claims which describe the role a nutrient or ingredient plays on the structure or function of the body.
