A composition for the relief of heat stress, particularly for restoration of electrolyte balance due to passive exposure to heat resulting in excessive transpiration/perspiration, without strenuous physical activity, contains predetermined levels of selected electrolytes including, in part by weight, sodium ion not exceeding 250 parts, at least 100 parts of potassium ion, at least 100 parts of magnesium ion, and carbohydrates not exceeding 2.5% by weight, as needed for organoleptic purposes only. The composition can further include up to 30 parts of zinc, up to 10 parts of manganese, and from 65 to 400 parts of calcium. Furthermore, the composition can contain oligoelements, dermoprotective vitamins and anti-oxidants so as to compensate for the chemical changes which might occur in the skin of a person passively exposed to heat.
A method of replenishing electrolyte levels lowered by passive transpiration/perspiration from heat stress comprising a step of orally administering to a person in which the electrolyte levels are lowered, a liquid composition comprising from about 0.3 to about 0.7 g/liter of a sodium compound, about 0.3 to about 0.5 g/liter of a potassium compound, about 1.2 to about 1.8 g/liter of a magnesium compound, about 0.2 to about 0.8 g/liter of a calcium compound, about 0.002 to about 0.005 g/liter of a manganese compound, about 0.04 to about 0.08 g/liter of a zinc compound, about 0.025 to about 0.25 g/liter of Rutin, about 0.00013 to about 0.0003 g/liter of Biotin, about 0.004 to about 0.03 g/liter of beta-carotene and about 0.005 to about 0.002 g/liter of alpha-tocopherol, with the proviso that a carbohydrate source is not contained in the composition.
A method of replenishing electrolyte levels lowered by passive transpiration/perspiration from heat stress comprising a step of administering to a person in which the electrolyte levels are or will be lowered a powder composition comprising from about 50 to about 170 mg of a sodium compound;
A method of replenishing electrolytes lost by passive transpiration/perspiration from heat stress comprising a step of administering to a person in which the electrolyte levels are or will be lowered a unitary solid composition comprising from about 6 to about 11 mg of a sodium compound;
