Clif Shot Electrolytes
Critical to peak performance, electrolytes are essential in metabolizing carbohydrates and for the proper functioning of muscles. Clif SHOT has three:

• Sodium - Studies indicate that rehydration occurs at a faster rate when electrolytes such as sodium are consumed during exercise.
• Potassium - This mineral is the major electrolyte found in all of your body's cells. It plays an important role in the transmission of signals to nerve impulses, muscle cell contraction and overall maintenance of your cardiovascular system.
  Magnesium - Not only is it essential for the efficient metabolism of carbohydrates, research has shown that athletes have a higher-than-average rate of magnesium deficiency.
