Now that Thanksgiving is behind us, the winter holiday season is in full swing. This season is most synonymous with enjoying good food and drinks with your dearest family and friends. However, the frenzied nature of the holidays can bring about all sorts of stress, and can also lead to overindulgence. And even if stress is not an issue, indulging...

The winter holidays are special times to share with family, friends, and everyone else that matters to us. That means some sort of travel is involved, and for most, that means long distance traveling to see as many of our loved ones as possible. But there comes an inherent stress that is tethered with holiday travel. In keeping with the...

Every Halloween party starts with a Spooky Halloween Fruit Punch. When hosting any get-together amongst friends or families, it’s super important that your guests have hydration throughout the event (especially if alcohol is involved!). So what are the risks of dehydration during a party? What are some causes of dehydration? Overheating is a common occurrence when it comes to any...

It’s important for football players to hydrate efficiently for games and training. Our electrolyte replacement mix's low sugar content provides sustainable energy for optimal performance, and it contains no additives or caffeine, as those dehydrate you and can cause loss of valuable electrolytes.

The high-sugar and high-sodium sports drinks were just not cutting it. We wanted to figure out a healthier option for athletes and individuals to refuel and refuel and replenish their electrolytes.

Sports drinks are primarily designed for athletes who are consistently exercising for long periods of time. Is Vitalyte only made for athletes, or can anyone drink it?

Did you know not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration that you may not even notice? This is where Vitalyte comes in - it results in faster hydration and gets absorbed within two minutes, faster than any other electrolyte replacement drink on the market

You’ve done it. You are committed. Your race entry has been confirmed. You have your new pair of running shoes and you’re ready to sport your entire LuLuLemon ensemble on the running trail. But what you really need to know is where do you begin when you are a beginner runner and you are training for your first 5k. Well,...

There are a few things I absolutely love in life and I thought I should share them with you.  Some are definitely running related.  Some, you might argue, are not.  But to me they all play an important role in my life.  Running is an important piece that makes a beautiful life for me.  So here are a few things...

Even though I know how good I’ll feel after my run, it is still a daily struggle to lace up.  Lately, the excuse that has been popping into my brain before I get ready for my usual four-mile run is the heat. It might be easier to run outdoors when the weather is nice, but I have a hard time...

Hello Vitalyte Family! Here are some great tips for post-marathon recovery (provided by the lovely Active.com). Listen up and get your body back on track. Step 1 – Recovery actually should start the minute you finish the race. As soon as you’re done, slowly wind your body down. After all, depending on if it was a half or a full, you...

Shortly after VITALYTE was developed, a runner told me about his whole family being down with the flu a few weeks before. He was so sick he didn’t feel like eating or drinking anything, even if he could keep it down. But, he knew that it was up to him to do something so he could look after the rest...

Yes, I know ... we all say “Everyone has a cold.” or “It's flu season.” But, why you? Basically, four conditions must be right (or wrong) for you to catch a respiratory illness: first, of course, you need to get the germ, usually a virus. No problem; there are plenty of them around us at all times. Some are just...

Did you know that the sugar found in Vitalyte is almost entirely glucose?  “I have diabetes; do you make VITALYTE without any sugar?” or “Can I drink VITALYTE if I am hypoglycemic?” These and other variations are among the most common questions I have about using VITALYTE and with good reason: people with diabetes and hypoglyce- mia have problems in...

We’ve boasted for awhile now that our Electrolyte Replacement Solution is amazing for It basically replenishes your body of the essential electrolytes it needs for healthy functioning. But, we thought we’d give you some other hangover pointers that the famed Dr. Oz has suggested. EAT PLENTY OF FOOD – Neither Dr. Oz nor we can stress this enough. Make sure...

Hello fellow Vitalyte fans! Let's talk about one of my favorite things - yoga and more specifically, yoga for runners - because it's something that all of you athletes out there should really start incorporating into your workout routines. One thing that's true about runners is that there is always a ton of wear and tear on their bodies. The...

Stretch, stretch, stretch! If there's one thing any athlete knows it's that stretching is just as important to a workout routine, as the working out itself. Stretching allows your muscles to stay loose and prevents injuries or strains. It also helps you keep your form while exercising, which will allow you to work out longer and achieve a lot more....

I’ve got the shoes, I know the yoga poses, now how do I make working out fun? Many of us feel about exercise the way we felt about eating brussels sprouts as a kid an unsavory thing we have to do to get something we want.  Back then, that something was probably dessert or pleasing our parents.  Now, it’s looking...
