Sports Strips are a fast, easy and
effective way to replace lost
electrolytes during athletic
performance! Just pop a strip in your
mouth and let it dissolve. No more
feeling full from excessive amounts of
sports drinks that are much slower to
provide the performancing enhancement
that any athlete needs immediately.
Enlyten™ Electrolyte
SportStrips™ is an innovative
new product that replaces the
electrolytes our bodies lose while
exercising through buccal (cheek to
gum) absorption. This mode of
absorption is very different than all electrolyte
delivery predecessors. Gastric
absorption is bypassed and the
electrolytes needed are directly
absorbed into our bodies. Additionally
this will help to avoid the
over-hydration that often accompanies
the excessive consumption of sports
drinks.
Fluids consumed during exercise
typically contain both carbohydrates
and electrolytes. The amount of each
varies by product. Typically these
drinks have between 2 and 8 percent
carbohydrate with a large range of
electrolyte concentrations within
them. A major limitation associated
with re-hydration and electrolyte
repletion is absorption. During
exercise our bodies divert blood from
our stomach and intestines to our
exercising muscles. This leads to an
increased gastric emptying time and
altered intestinal absorption.
Additionally, the addition of
carbohydrate to these drinks can alter
an athlete’s digestive ability.
Slowed gastric emptying combined with
altered absorption will limit the
availability of the fluid and
electrolytes we orally consume to be
used by our bodies. Many athletes
performing at high intensities will
have a difficult time ingesting an
adequate amount of fluid to maintain
this homeostasis due to these changes.
Enlyten Sport Strips are absorbed very
differently. They are designed to
bypass the inherent inadequacies of
gastric and intestinal absorption
during exercise. Sport
Strips are absorbed directly into
the blood stream through the buccal
mucosa (in the mouth) and thus is
affected by neither gastric emptying
nor colonic irritability.
