Elytro: Glucose-Electrolyte Blend for Acute Diarrhea
Elytro is a powdered glucose-electrolyte blend specifically designed to respond to the fluid loss associated with diarrhea (diarrhea) and to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes as quickly as possible. For children from 3 years, teenagers and adults. Elytro is used for the diet management of dehydration in diarrheal diseases and is a food for special medical purposes (balanced diet).
Help with diarrhea: The body needs fluid and electrolytes
Sudden onset of acute diarrhea (diarrhea) can be uncomfortable and have a variety of causes. As a rule, it is harmless, but in the case of acute diarrhea there is a high risk of dehydration, i.e. dehydration due to the severe loss of fluids. The occurrence of dizziness and circulatory problems can be the first signs of this.
In the event of diarrhea, it is therefore crucial to quickly restore lost fluid and electrolyte balance. So the first motto is: Drink enough and choose the right drinks. But: Water alone is not enough, because the body needs electrolytes.
Causes and triggers of diarrhea (diarrhea)
There are many different causes for diarrhea to occur, but some of the most common reasons include:
• Food intolerance: An intolerance to certain foods such as gluten or lactose.
• Viral and bacterial infections: Certain pathogens such as norovirus, rotavirus or salmonella.
• Side effects of medicines: Certain medicines such as antibiotics, cytostatics (used to treat cancer) and NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
• Stress or anxiety: In some cases, psychological stress or exam anxiety can also lead to diarrhea
It is advisable to balance the electrolytes as a first step before the onset of nausea and circulatory problems due to the sudden loss of fluids.
With Elytro you have a simple and tasteless solution for restoring hydration. The balanced formula contains a combination of glucose and electrolytes that help to restore the body's fluid and electrolyte balance while providing the energy it needs.
Why are electrolytes so important?
In order for the body to function normally, it must ensure that the fluid balance is not subject to excessive fluctuations.
Certain minerals, particularly the macrominerals (minerals required in relatively large amounts by the body), play an important role as electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electrical charge in a liquid such as blood.
These electrolytes present in the blood - sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate - contribute to the regulation of nerve and muscle functions and ensure a stable acid-base and water balance.
