sodium.

Sodium helps control the amount of fluid in your body, and your nerves and muscles need it to work properly.[1][2] It occurs naturally in most foods, most often as table salt (sodium chloride).[2] MedlinePlus suggests healthy adults limit sodium to 2,300 mg a day.[2]

potassium.

Potassium helps your cells, heart and muscles work properly.[1] Vegetables and fruit are the richest sources, including beans, potatoes, bananas and citrus.[3] People with kidney problems may need to limit potassium, so check with your provider.[3]

magnesium.

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body, including normal muscle and nerve function and energy production.[4] Most of it comes from dark green, leafy vegetables, plus nuts, seeds and beans.[4]

the minerals in bodyflow.

When Vincent developed BodyFlow, he chose each mineral source intentionally, based on quality. All three are sourced in the United States.

And when it comes to minerals, solubility matters. We wanted the minerals in BodyFlow readily dispersed in the drink, not sitting at the bottom of it.

The result is a simple formula informed by established hydration and electrolyte science: three essential minerals, sugar-free and unflavored.
