Please name your most popular retail item and what it does.
Elete electrolytes… they are the pure form of electrolytes that my patients easily & willingly drop in their water or soup or drinks of any kind to stay hydrated & refreshed. It helps to support the body regenerating it with fluids and addresses those athletes and non-athletes who often experience cramps or muscle aches & pains.
