MTN OPS S.T.M ELECTROLYTES
By: Logan Thomas
Last summer, I shot at the Total Archery Challenge in Big Sky, Montana. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. After trekking through the mountains all day shooting rubber bighorn sheep and foam black bears, I walked around the vendor booths. In the back corner, there was a booth that said MTN OPS. I went to their booth and looked at their various products and decided on their electrolyte packets. Since buying that pack of electrolytes on a mountain side in Montana, I have went on to try several other electrolyte supplements and have consistently insisted that MTN OPS electrolytes are my favorite.
About MTN OPS Electrolytes
MTN OPS electrolytes are a quick and easy source of electrolytes that come in a convenient packet. The MTN OPS electrolyte packets contain 70mg of Magnesium, 60mg of Sodium, 120mg of Chloride, and 205mg of Potassium. Included in the MTN STM electrolyte blend is Coconut Water Powder, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Citrate, Himalayan salt, OmniMinAC (trace mineral blend), and Manganese Amino Acid Chelate. In addition to electrolytes, the electrolyte packets include L-Tyrosine and L-Theanine, both of which help with brain function. MTN OPS also includes Vitamin C and Niacin in their electrolyte packets for general health. I personally take one to two packets a day.
Taste
One of the best upsides to all MTN OPS products is that they taste great. The electrolyte packets are no different. The electrolytes come in Fresh Lemon Lime, Blue Raspberry, and Fruity Pink Burst. All of them taste fantastic.
Benefits of Electrolyte Supplementation
Electrolytes improve the function of the nervous system, muscle function, and improves athletic performance. Several studies have shown that just a 2% dehydration level can decrease athletic performance. The main electrolytes are sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium. Sodium is essential for nerve function and muscle contraction. Also, it is essential for the heart to be able to contract. Low sodium levels are also linked to low energy levels. Chloride maintains fluid balance and regulates blood pressure. Potassium helps maintain the nervous system and regulates heart rhythm. Many people want to focus on the more “interesting” supplements like creatine, beta-alanine, and fancy nootropics but neglect the more fundamental supplements like electrolytes. Hydration with electrolytes should be a daily focus for everyone.
Side note for people on a keto diet: Electrolytes are even more important for you folks. Keto-flu is primarily caused because of low electrolytes.
