Sports Supplements Review - Part 8 of 9

Electro Aloe Hydration Crystals

Micronutrients and electrolytes are lost during intense exercise. Consuming a performance sports drink, like Electro Aloe, helps with energy levels and maintaining your electrolyte balance.

Electro Aloe supplies easily-absorbed carbohydrates , essential electrolytes, and trace minerals that are not found in plain water.

One serving of Electro Aloe contains 64% of the USDV for vitamin C, assists in the replenishment of fluids and electrolytes, and provides antioxidants.

Ornithine alpha-ketoglutarate (OKG) stimulates muscle growth and blocks the effects of catabolic hormones that break down muscle tissue.

Inulin Analog is the ultimate complex carbohydrate. It helps control blood sugar levels, reduces sugar cravings, and contributes to a consistent energy level, without sugar rushes and craches.

Add one scoop of Electro Aloe to 12 oz. of water to make one serving. Or dissolve the contents of one can in 2.5 gallons of water and make 27 servings for the team! You'll also enjoy the lemon-lime flavour!
