Sisu To Go

Jul 12, 2017 | 8:57 AM

The demands of our busy lives can lead us to neglect our own health and overtime, result in reduced energy, mood and immunity, thereby ‘aging’ us more quickly. 

Vitamin C is one of the best researched nutrients and a key aspect to healthy aging. 

It is essential for the proper formation of collagen, the building block of many tissues, and a crucial component in skin rejuvenation. 

Vitamin C strengthens the immune system by supporting & improving white blood cell function and also helps to reduce the release of histamine in the body, alleviating allergy symptoms.  In addition to vitamin C, there are multiple nutrients that the body needs every day to function at its best including B vitamins and minerals. 

Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are minerals essential for rehydration and energy production, as well as cardiovascular, muscle and nervous system functions.  Ester-C energy boost combines all of these important nutrients in a convenient drink mix to help keep active, busy people feeling their best and performing at their peak. 

With summer upon us and being able to be outside doing our favorite summer activities, whether it be boating, laying on the beach or enjoying a BBQ, we tend to sweat far more now, than in winter.  Loosing sweat in hot weather can cause an electrolyte imbalance and can lead to dehydration.  Sisu Ester-C To Go has a great balance of electrolytes to keep your body adequately hydrated:

*low in calories (30 calories per serving) compared to other sport drinks;

*single serve sachets are easily portable and packable;

*electrolytes are important because they are what cells (especially nerve, heart, muscle) use to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and carry electrical impulses across to other cells; *kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in blood constant despite changes in the body;

*during heavy exercise, electrolytes are lost in sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. 

These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of the body fluids constant.

Sisu To Go is available in four flavors: orange, wild-berry, lemon-lime and pomegranate-acai.  Just add a packet to a bottle of water and go.  Each package contains 1000mg of Ester-C, a form of vitamin C that is less acidic and easier on the stomach than regular vitamin C.  Ester-C is the only form of vitamin C that has been clinically proven to last up to 24-hours in the white blood cells of the immune system.   It’s enhanced with nourishing energy-supporting B vitamins and electrolytes with added calcium, magnesium and trace minerals to support bone, joint, collagen, and skin health.  It’s naturally sweetened with stevia and is low in calories.
