The Science behind It

Lucofast’s tagline is  “Fuel your day, Sip your way.” This is based on our ideals that hydrating yourself  also calms your mind while fueling your day with health and vigor.

Serotonin, a neurotransmitter, is crucial for emotion regulation, and is influenced by the water balance in the body. Like every other organ system, the nervous system is dependent on hydration, to function properly.  In fact, 75% of brain tissue is water. According to the National Library of Medicine “Hydration has beneficial effects in LOW, especially sleep/wake feelings, whereas, decreasing hydration has detrimental effects on HIGH’s mood. These delirious effects in HIGH were observed in some sleep/wake moods, as calmness, satisfaction, and positive emotions.”

Even if the body is mildly dehydrated it can directly result in partial memory loss, focus, mood, and other functions.

In a recent study in the US, they found that fluid loss of 1.6% was detrimental to working memory and increased feelings of anxiety and fatigue that make us less productive and inactive in nature.

Here’s how electrolytes help your mood to stay elevated:

1.     The combination of electrolytes  and Vitamin-B in Lucofast, may help prevent anxiety.
2.     Some researchers also suggest that electrolyte imbalances, also interfere with serotonin production in our body.
3.     Electrolytes like sodium and potassium play a crucial role in maintaining a blood pH and the overall homeostasis of bodily fluids.
4.     A well-balanced electrolyte level ensures that nerve cells can communicate effectively.
