Do you feel drained, light-headed or sluggish after a day in the sun or after an extreme workout? Electrolytes play a vital role in maintaining homeostasis within the body. They support heart and nervous system function, fluid balance, oxygen delivery, acid-base balance, and much more. Depletion of these important minerals, especially sodium and potassium, will cause symptoms such as extreme fatigue, dizziness, nausea, headaches, and muscle cramps.

Before you reach for sports drinks such as Gatorade (full of sugar and artificial colors), treat yourself and your soccer kicking kids to a healthy sports drink!

Ultima Replenisher is an easy-to-fix high performance energy drink with no caffeine or artificial stimulants. Ultima contains all major electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, chloride, and sodium), plus trace minerals which accelerate assimilation and absorption of vitamins and nutrients.

Revitalize and recharge your body's natural energy with Ultima Replenisher. This easy mix powder comes in many tasty flavors including cherry pomegranate, grape, orange, raspberry, and lemonade. Mix with water and you're good to go! Kids love it too! For those that prefer to replenish essential electrolytes in capsule form, we have that option as well.

Fireworks Cause Anxiety in Pets

Does your pet exhibit restlessness, pacing, and whining around the 4th of July fireworks? The loud noises, flashes, and unpredictability may be triggering your pet's fight-or-flight response. First and foremost, be sure to provide a quiet, safe haven where your pet can hide. In addition, consider easing your furry-friend's suffering with CBD, which promotes relaxation and eases anxiety. We offer a variety of CBD products for pets, including tinctures (drops) and convenient, yummy treats for both dogs and cats. Fireworks stress can also be ameliorated by Bach Rescue Remedy, a natural flower-based stress relief for pets. Rescue Remedy provides comfort and calm for pets in stressful situations. If fireworks have your pets running and hiding in fear, consider an all-natural pet relaxation formula or treat from The Natural Alternative.

Wishing you all a safe and happy 4th of July!
