Z2 - SALTZ – Z2 Performance

WE GOT YOUR BACK. EMBRACE THE SALT

In the pursuit of performance, there are no shortcuts. Discomfort is part of it. It will hurt. It will be tiring. But you keep going. Saltz keeps your muscles working when it starts to get tough!

EMBRACE THE SALT

Saltz was formulated to truly support those who take sports seriously. Developed based on scientific evidence and sports practice, this new line delivers high doses of sodium and magnesium, in just the right amount to ensure efficient hydration and sustained performance. It's another ally in preventing dehydration and cramps during high-intensity races and training.

HIGH IN SODIUM?

During intense training or long races, large amounts of electrolytes are lost in sweat, especially sodium – the main component responsible for water balance, muscle contraction, and resistance to fatigue. The Saltz 500 mg and Saltz 1000 mg lines were designed to allow for personalized supplementation for athletes with high sweat rates, strenuous training, or in hot and humid environments.

When is sodium replacement necessary?

In long-distance (endurance) events

In activities such as triathlons, marathons, ultramarathons, long-distance cycling, trail running , or Ironman, replenishing sodium during the race helps prevent cramps, excessive fatigue, and decreased performance.
Activities on very hot or humid days

In hot and humid climates, we sweat more. Even during light workouts, this loss can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances. Replenishing electrolytes helps maintain more efficient hydration and well-being throughout the day.
To maintain hydration more effectively.

Consuming fluids with electrolytes improves water retention in the body – unlike pure water, which can be eliminated quickly. This is especially useful on hot days, when we spend a lot of time outdoors, or during periods when fluid intake needs to be higher.

ELECTROLYTES

Electrolyte drinks are essential for athletes, as they directly contribute to hydration, performance, and post-exercise recovery. Intense or prolonged sports practice causes significant losses of water and electrolytes, especially through sweat. Minerals such as sodium and magnesium are essential for physiological functions that impact performance, including fluid balance, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. During exercise, acute changes in these electrolytes—mainly sodium, potassium, and magnesium—are common and can compromise the athlete's performance and health. Saltz is an electrolyte drink specifically developed to meet the demands of athletes during training and competitions.

Na (Sodium)

Sodium plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the human body and in exercise physiology. It is the principal cation of extracellular fluid and is essential for maintaining extracellular fluid volume and osmotic pressure. Regulation of normal sodium concentration is fundamental to the body's homeostasis. In exercise physiology, sodium is particularly important for athletes, especially in endurance sports or those with high sweat losses. During intense exercise, sodium loss through sweat can be significant, and adequate replacement is necessary to avoid electrolyte imbalances such as hyponatremia. Sodium replacement is recommended to help maintain fluid and electrolyte balance during prolonged exercise, as sodium stimulates thirst and fluid retention, in addition to helping replenish sweat losses.

Mg+ (Magnesium)

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays multiple roles in the human body, including regulating energy metabolism, neuromuscular and cardiovascular function, and protein and DNA synthesis. In exercise physiology, magnesium is important for maintaining normal muscle function and can influence physical performance. Studies indicate that magnesium requirements increase with the level of physical activity, and supplementation may improve glucose availability in the brain, muscles, and blood, as well as reduce or delay lactate accumulation in muscles.
