Hydrate cramps away
Many of us can relate to being woken by painful leg cramps in the small hours of the morning. Night cramps can be one of the frustrating problems of increasing age, but fortunately there can be a simple explanation ... dehydration.
The natural solution is to drink more water. But drinking more water can have its downside and running to the loo a lot especially when you are out and about is annoying.
SurvivALL, a 'new-generation' energy and fluid replacement supplement, is specifically formulated for the needs of seniors. It contains mineral salts (electrolytes) to keep the body's ideal fluid balance plus vitamins C and B group and selenium, a powerful antioxidant mineral.
From the moment we are born, our bodies are losing water. A chubby newborn contains about 78 per cent water, and we gradually lose bodily fluid content until a low of around 50 per cent in our senior years. This loss is exacerbated by a natural decline in sense of thirst as we age. We are, literally, drying up.
Lack of hydration weakens the body, makes us lethargic and throws out the body's electrolyte balance - a major cause of those painful night cramps. For the active senior who loves a game of golf, swimming, even a bit of gardening, hydration is even more essential to vitality and wellbeing.
'Energy' drinks are not much better, hard on the back pocket, packed with chemicals and with bitter salty tastes. Now, there's an alternative.
From the first sip it's obvious Survivall Seniors is different. Light and refreshing, it has a sweet apple flavour that is easy to enjoy.
But the real magic lies in the formula. Survivall Seniors contains a high level of pure glucose to fuel muscles and support an active lifestyle.
You can buy Survivall Seniors in your local pharmacy. Retails for $9.95 for 4 x 30g satchets, or $33.95 for 900g value jar. For stockists phone 1800 655 841.
You can make up a jug of it in the morning and drink it during the day or put some Survivall into a water bottle for when you are out and about.
Survivall comes from Felton Grimwade & Bosisto's (FCB Natural Products). The same company that produces Bosisto's Eucalyptus Oil. FCB is an independent Australian owned and operated pharmaceutical company specialising in natural products. For more information go to www.fgb.com.au

| What are Electrolytes? |
| Electrolytes are minerals (or 'body salts') such as potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium which form a major component of our body's fluid system. They carry nutrients and oxygen to various tissues and organs and without them, life cannot function.
Electrolytes have many tasks: they are used to convert carbohydrate into glucose. They are responsible for the ability of muscle tissues to function efficiently for a long period of time. They also maintain the body's fluid balance and help dispose of waste materials generated by normal metabolism. These minerals are regulated by hormones but can be lost through perspiration or dehydration, causing an 'imbalance'.
Before you take any preparation, even natural or herbal treatments, speak to your health practitioner.
