Ö around the world: Ö ambassador reaches Peru’s Huascaran Mountain!

Our ambassador françois-guy thivierge at the peak of huascaran with Ö products!Our ambassador François-Guy Thivierge braved the famous peak of Mount Huascaran in Peru, towering at 6,768 meters, with Ö products by his side to provide all the essential vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for his ascent. This experience stands out as one of the most challenging highlights in his ambitious project to climb 55 mountains in 55 months.Huascaran is the world’s highest tropical mountain range, known for its deep ravines, glacial lakes, and diverse vegetation, making it a stunning and dramatic landscape. "For me, this was one of the toughest of the 55 challenges. It requires several days of trekking at altitude, setting up camps, transporting food, and a lot of planning", shares François-Guy Thivierge.He adds that Ö products truly contributed to his successful ascent. In the mountains, climbers cannot carry bottled water due to weight, and the freezing would cause it to freeze too quickly. To stay hydrated, they melt and boil snow, which contains no minerals. Adding Ö products to the melted snow provides the vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes needed for high-altitude days! François-Guy chose the CHRÖNO flavor from the Ö Health Solution Sport line!

Our first three products Ö Hydration

What are electrolytes and why is it important to add them to your water?

When added to water, electrolytes serve various purposes. Ö helps you discover what they are and their benefits. Ö explains what electrolytes are and why we’ve included them in our Ö Solution Health Sport line. “Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in a liquid such as blood. Blood electrolytes help regulate nerve and muscle function and maintain acid-base and fluid balance.”1 The Role of Electrolytes Ö offers three lines of flavored vitamin solutions: Ö Solution Health, Ö Solution Health for Kids, and finally, Ö Solution Health Sport. Each line provides different benefits. For instance, we added electrolytes in the Sport line because, during high-intensity or endurance sports, the body loses electrolytes essential for various functions. Calcium, which also supports muscle and heart function as well as blood clotting, has been added to our Ö Health Solutions, although these do not contain potassium. For additional information, consult our FAQ section! The consequences of electrolyte imbalance As seen, an electrolyte imbalance is not desirable, nor is a fluid imbalance. Proper hydration supports physical performance and concentration. For example, potassium deficiency could even lead to heart problems! While maintaining electrolyte balance is essential, a casual athlete only needs to stay well-hydrated without necessarily consuming sports drinks with added electrolytes, as excess electrolytes are eliminated in urine. So, if you engage in moderate-intensity or duration activities, Ö Solution Health is your ideal choice. What affects electrolyte levels in the body? Electrolytes are lost through sweat. During high-intensity or endurance training, water and electrolyte losses increase with sweating and respiration rates, making it essential to hydrate with an electrolyte-rich drink. This is also true when training outdoors in hot weather or during a hot yoga session. This is why we created the Ö Solution Health Sport line. Note that other factors also contribute to electrolyte loss, such as poor nutrient absorption, vomiting, kidney issues, certain medications, and age. How to replace electrolytes Electrolytes are naturally found in fruits and vegetables, so a good diet helps maintain a healthy fluid balance. However, if you’re active in sports, good nutrition may not suffice. After your workout, choosing a sports drink free of excessive sugars, additives, or chemicals is essential. In developing Ö, we created a product you can add to water that is healthy and free from the undesirable ingredients found in most popular sports drinks.
