The Key to Hydration

OLA LOA vitamin drinks offer protection against dehydration and low adrenal function by supplementing the four major mineral electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. It all comes down to the fact that life chemistry is entirely dependent on chemical reactions in water and maintaining molecular concentrations is crucial to survival. Osmotic pressure is the key to maintaining concentrations within survival limits.

OLA LOA products offer added protection to stabilize water concentration within cells by means of amine osmolytes: glycine, betaine (TMG), and taurine. These amines are called osmolytes because they can enter the body cells and they attract water by osmotic action to balance the molecular pressures of water across the cell membrane, Osmolytes thus take the place of electrolytes, especially sodium, and potassium, in case of electrolyte depletion by heat stress, sweating, diarrhea and adrenal gland weakness or exhaustion.

Because osmolytes protect cells against dehydration they can be life-saving in case of heavy exercise in hot weather, when sweating and salt loss is greater. This is especially important to athletes and 'week-end warriors' who often avoid dietary salt and thus are more vulnerable to electrolyte depletion, muscle cramps, dehydration, and syncope.

Osmolytes confer resistance to dehydration by attracting water into cells, that would otherwise be depleted along with sodium in response to exercise, especially in individuals with depleted levels of salt-conserving adrenal hormones. This is obvious in patients suffering chronic fatigue and depression but can be puzzling in undiagnosed cases of seemingly healthy people, healthy except for low blood pressure or salt craving, which may be symptoms of low adrenal function.

OLA LOA is unique in combining therapeutic amounts of vitamin C along with a special vitamin-mineral formula to support methylation, by means of the co-factors that are naturally required to regulate this metabolic pathway: vitamins folic acid, B12 and B6; minerals zinc and selenium, and methylation end-products coenzymeQ10 and carnitine.

The OLA LOA formula is especially protective for those with digestive disorders, especially in case of malabsorption. The liquid colloid 'drink-your-vitamins formula and the instant-fresh OLA LOA effervescent action assures more complete absorption. This is important for acutely ill patients as well as the chronically unhealthy from any cause. All are at increased risk of malabsorption due to under-production of pancreatic enzymes.

Pancreatic enzyme production is promptly turned off by any condition that interferes with methylation. Such a condition of 'pancreatic sleep' is probably Mother Nature's way of protecting the pancreatic cells from destruction. That is a major reason for the old adage: "starve a fever, feed a cold." OLA LOA protects the pancreas by means of antioxidant and methyl support, both. Chronic malabsorption, gluten intolerance, and other chronic digestive conditions often cause hidden electrolyte loss in the stools. In those who have had gastric by-pass surgery, malabsorption is obvious and OLA LOA has become a popular remedy. But in far more cases, the sign of malabsorption is as subtle as the mere presence of shaggy stools. This sign is commonly ignored; however these unformed stools herald conditions that deplete sodium, potassium and water, thus inducing dehydration and fatigue. OLA LOA osmolytes are especially appreciated in these cases.

In summary osmolytes control and regulate hydration to the cell extending cell life and providing superior hydration support beyond electrolytes. Go further on less…drink OLA LOA.
