Magnum Nutraceuticals - Drip Dry

 

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) is traditionally used in Europe as a diuretic for the treatment of edema (swelling/fluid retention). Human and laboratory research shows that horsetail extract can increase the amount of urine produced by the body.

Horsetail (Equisetum arvense) has tubular fern-like stems and leaves. It is a medicinal plant historically used as a natural diuretic whose leaves and stems are made into liquid extracts, dry teas or capsules. Horsetail was compared to a common diuretic in a recent study and the herb was found to be just as effective, and superior to a placebo.

Corn silk stylus is made from stigmas, those silky yellow strands found inside corn husk. It is a herbal remedy made from the stigmas found on the female corn flower. It is one of the strongest natural diuretics in the world. The fresh corn silk pen contains fatty and essential oils, resin, rubber, alkaloids, phosphoric acid, chlorophyll and high levels of manganese and potassium. Active phytochemicals found in corn silk include cryptoxanthin and tannins which act as dehydrating agents. Corn silk pen is a strong diuretic and is effective in increasing urine flow and removing sodium from the body. It increases the rate of urine production and expels fluids trapped in tissues and intercellular spaces. By accelerating the filtration rate in the renal tubules and reducing the reabsorption of sodium and chlorine ions into the blood, corn silk is able to increase the volume of urine produced in the body.

Traditionally, juniper is used as a diuretic and to treat bladder or kidney ailments. The diuretic action of juniper is well established and is attributed to its levels of Terpinen-4-ol, the main active ingredient in juniper berry extract, which increases kidney filtration rate and dilutes urine and disinfects the urinary tract when excreted in the urine. By increasing the filtration rate in the renal tubules, juniper berry stimulates the production of more urine. Also, it prevents uric acid from crystallizing in the kidneys by keeping it dissolved in excess fluids and excreting it with urine. All these actions improve the functions of the kidneys and promote the constant elimination of excess fluids in the body.

If you want unparalleled potassium bioavailability, you need potassium orotate. This is potassium bound to orotic acid. Orotic acid is neutrally charged and readily passes through cell membranes. Potassium is released as orotic acid is metabolized. Potassium is thus delivered directly to the muscle cells where your body needs it to regulate the amount of water and electrolytes in your muscle. Potassium is a nutrient that helps your muscles move, transmits nerve signals, and helps your kidneys filter blood. Along with sodium, potassium is one of the main electrolytes your body needs to regulate hydration and electrolyte balance. An added benefit for athletes trying to shed water is that potassium helps your body project a positive response to stress and anxiety. It even helps regulate hormones, including stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, which can be detrimental to your mood, overall health, and cause you to retain water.

Magnesium deficiency is the main hidden cause of leg cramps (including foot and other muscle cramps). Magnesium also increases the absorption of potassium, which is essential for proper muscle function. Magnesium citrate offers the highest bioavailability of the mineral. The Mayo Clinic recommends taking magnesium supplements twice a day to relieve fluid retention. Without magnesium, your body lacks its most important natural defense against pain, swelling, tension, and inflammation. Studies show that by aggressively correcting a magnesium deficiency, leg cramps can be eliminated and prevented in the future. Magnesium relaxes the muscles by counteracting the effect of calcium, which tightens them. It also increases the absorption of potassium, which is essential for proper muscle function. Magnesium can also decrease pain by blocking pain receptors in the brain and nervous system and can increase the production of serotonin, GABA and melatonin, which will help you relax and fall asleep before competition.
