Why your electrolyte drink is mostly expensive urine

You can get a trendy shot at the health store or online. “With electrolytes,” says the label. Makes sense. Sounds healthy. But what if that charged promise doesn't arrive anywhere?

Electrolyte drinks are everywhere. For runners, crossfitters, cold showers and biohackers. They sound like they go directly into your cells. Like your body can do something with it right away.
They promise rapid absorption and immediate action.

But the reality is a lot more unruly. Many of these minerals linger in the bloodstream. Not because they are redundant — but because they don't know their way around. Without a biological transport mechanism, they don't get to where they're needed: inside the cell. They circulate but do nothing. They are like packages with no delivery address. What comes in is not used. Because the difference between ingest and taping is bigger than you think. So big, in fact, that you may wonder: how much is actually stuck along the way?

An electrolyte is a substance — usually a mineral — that, once dissolved in water, breaks down into electrically charged particles: ions. These ions — for example sodium, potassium or chloride — conduct current. In the body, they play a major role in the transmission of signals: they make your heart beat, your muscles contract and your brain communicate.
Not the substance itself, but the dissolved, charged form determines whether something actually does something.

So it is not enough that a drink “contains minerals”. Only if those minerals break down into free ions in water and are available where they are needed, do you have an effective electrolyte solution. But even that is just the beginning.

No signal without load

‍Why is that electric charge so important? The body is not a factory that you switch on or off, but a sophisticated network of bioelectrochemical reactions. Thousands of processes only start when the right ion is available in the right place at the right time. As a building block. As a catalyst. As a switch. No load, no signal. No ion, no action. That's why it's so pointless to swallow random minerals from a jar. Many of them lack the right load, the right shape, the right carrier.

Electrolytes are like a letter without a mailman

And so we reach for electrolytes. Makes sense. But appearances can be deceiving. Electrolytes also remain dependent on something they rarely get in those drinks: direction.

If you look a little further than the label, electrolyte drinks mainly see stand-alone ingredients without structure. Water with a little bit of sodium, maybe some potassium or Celtic sea salt, and also a mixture of flavors, colorants and sweeteners. There is no transport mechanism. No steering. No biological recognition.

The ions are there — actively charged — but they float without purpose. Without a companion, they continue to circulate in the bloodstream, with no guarantee that they will ever reach the cell. Let alone do what they promise there.

They are like a letter without a mailman: the content is there but does not arrive.

What remains are loose ions. Biochemical potential with no effect.

Fulvic acid is that mailman.

And more than that. Fulvic acid is created from millions of years old layers of humus: remains of plants and trees that have broken down over time into something exceptionally small — and extremely powerful. It is a low-molecular, oxygen-rich organic molecule that binds to minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc. In a shape that the body recognizes.

What fulvic acid does is not only bind, but also accompany. It forms a complex that is small enough to pass through cell membranes, and stable enough not to disintegrate along the way. It brings the load in — right where it's needed. And along the way, it remains active. Fulvic acid helps communicate between cells, supports absorption and acts as an antioxidant.

The difference in one sentence

‍Electrolytes are sent but rarely arrive. Fulvic acid, the missing link, knows the way — and takes them home where they belong: in the cell.

No unruly types

The minerals and other nutrients in SMPL72 — no less than 72 (!) — are not loose particles. They are carried, protected and delivered through the cell wall. Not a supplement that might do the job. But a substance that actually arrives. Exactly where it counts: in the cell. Fulvic acid controls the way. Fulvic acid-bound minerals are like a courier with access to the front door and a key to the cell.

Your own effective electrolyte solution

You dissolve SMPL72 in water yourself: 8 to 10 drops a day. Once you dissolve it, something simple but fundamental happens: the minerals break down into electrically charged particles. You turn your glass of water yourself into a natural electrolyte solution with 72 minerals — pure, active and ready to be absorbed. All the way to the cell.
