The human body is an “electrical machine”. All vital bodily functions happen as a result of electrical signals sent from the brain. In order for your body to operate at peak performance, these electrical signals must be conducted from the brain to various parts of your body - this is where electrolytes come in. Electrolytes are substances that will conduct electricity when mixed with water – the most common electrolyte in the human body is salt.

The body is 70% water, about two-thirds of the water resides inside the cells, intracellular fluid and about one-third resides outside of the cell, extracellular fluid. The body works constantly to make sure that the intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid have the same amount of electrolyte concentration – this is a very important component of homeostasis or your body’s inner balance.

The mechanisms that monitor and adjust the balance of electrolytes respond only to changes in extracellular fluid such as blood. When someone is ill or injured and taken to the hospital, one of the first and most common procedures is to hang an I.V. which simply means injecting salt water directly into the blood stream. Doing so helps the body to operate better because electrical signals from the brain to the body can be better conducted.

In addition, when salt is added to the extracellular fluid it causes water to move between the intracellular and extracellular areas allowing the body to become properly hydrated. This is why athletes, for example, take salt pills or drink “sports drinks” during work-outs. Sports drinks are simply salt water mixed with artificial colorings, artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners and chemical preservatives. 

Stardust 2 Hydr8 offers you all of the benefits of a saline or electrolyte solution without any needles or artificial additives. It is made from pure salt and bicarbonate which are the main components of extracellular fluid. Stardust 2 Hydra8 is mixed one tea spoon to a gallon of water creating a mildly saline solution - also referred to as an "electrolyte solution".

Stardust 2 Hydr8 is a great way to help your body to operate at peak performance and to maintain proper hydration. Mix one level teaspoon of Stardust 2 Hydr8 with a gallon of water and drink one or two glasses per day. As part of our 13 to 14 day programs we recommend drinking 8 - 8 oz. glasses per day during the 13 to 14 days.
