1. DEFY THE NORM Hydration is more complex than you think..
Totum Sport makes it easy.

2. The Race Starts Here
Totum Sport enhances sports performance and recovery by starting with the building blocks of life; our cells.
When you exercise, your body not only loses water and electrolytes through sweat, but your cells also lose minerals during metabolism. 
Taking Totum Sport before, during and after exertion enables athletes to perform at their best with sustained speed, power, stamina and mental concentration with optimal recovery.

3. 78 Electrolytes
At present, there are multiple approaches to electrolyte supplementation in sport but they tend to focus on varying concentrations of a small number of electrolytes.
The body requires all 78 electrolytes in specific proportions to ensure complete hydration. 
All electrolytes work together in the body. Hydration supplements that contain only a select few electrolytes will limit maximum absorption and function in the body.
Only Totum Sport provides all 78 electrolytes in a bioavailable form that can be rapidly absorbed by your body for maximum performance. 

4. Totum Sport = Optimum Performance
Peak performance is a combination of strength, speed, stamina, reflexes and concentration. Totum Sport helps you to reach peak performance levels through these 5 key benefits: 
Complete Hydration
Enhance Stamina & Strength
Sustain Focus
Reduce Cramps & Fatigue
Maximum Recovery

5. Complete Cellular Hydration
Dehydration occurs during intense exercise right down to the cellular level because you lose water and electrolytes through sweat and metabolism
The more dehydrated you become, the bigger reduction in performance.
Water alone doesn’t solve the problem. Intracellular electrolytes enable the cells to absorb and retain water, preventing dehydration and hyponatremia.

6. Enhance Stamina & Strength
As an elite athlete, your muscular endurance and cardiovascular system are always tested to the limit.
Stamina relies on adequate energy stores and oxygen. Once energy or oxygen supplies fail to keep up with demand, cellular respiration switches from being aerobic (with oxygen) to anaerobic (without oxygen)
The 78 electrolytes in Totum Sport enhances stamina by significantly delaying the switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism through optimising cell metabolism and regulating blood sugar to ensure cells are supplied with enough glucose and oxygen for as long as possible.

7. Sustain Focus
The ability to maintain concentration keeps performance as strong in the last second as the first minute. 
Many mistakes and sports injuries occur late in the period of play.  Glucose is the brain’s primary source of energy.
Totum Sport regulates glucose and oxygen delivery, maximising glucose supply to the brain and nerves that support the ability to judge distance and peripheral vision. 

8. Reduce Cramps and Muscle Fatigue
One of the major problems for elite athletes is muscle cramps, which can have massive impacts on performance.
Totum Sport prevents the drop in blood sodium that contributes significantly to cramp and increased muscle injuries.
Studies have shown that Totum Sport delays and reduces lactate production.This helps prevent muscle fatigue so that the athlete remains strong throughout and performance is not hindered. 
Muscle fatigue occurs when an athlete does not fully recover. Totum Sport enhances the uptake of nutrients from your post exercise meal.  

9. Maximum Recovery
Recovering quickly between training sets and quick bursts of energy in competition allows you to keep your advantage going to the finish line.
There is approximately a 60-minute window post exercise where muscles and the liver have enhanced ability to replenish glycogen stores and absorb amino acids. 
Since glucose is the most important carbohydrate in energy production, it is important to maximise replacement. Glucose uptake at the intestinal level is performed by a sodium-dependant (Na) active transport mechanism.
With the Na and a full range of electrolytes in Totum Sport, the uptake of glucose to replenish glycogen stores is enhanced. 

10. Nutrition for Performance and Recovery
Totum Sport provides all the minerals and trace elements required to enhance absorption and utilisation of all energy sources.
The mineral composition of Totum Sport supports anti-oxidant activity that help to neutralise reactive oxygen species (ROS) so the cell can recover more quickly and reduce muscle damage from exercise.  
Getting nutrition right pre and post training is essential to optimise both your workout and recovery in readiness for your next session.

11. Totum Sport and Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are used during exercise as glucose derived from glycogen, stored in the muscle and liver. High intensity training uses carbohydrates as they break down into energy more quickly.
Consumption of carbohydrates during exercise can often lead to digestive problems and cramping. Totum Sport prevents the risk of cramp, regulating blood sugar derived from an existing good nutritional regime.
Minerals and trace elements help the absorption of carbohydrates. The brain and red blood cells can only use blood glucose as an energy supply. 
The electrolytes in Totum Sport will therefore help to regulate blood sugar levels so energy utilisation is enhanced.

12. Totum Sport and Fats
Fat stores in the body are too slowly utilised to be a source of energy for explosive activities and are primarily used as an energy reserve in stamina sports.
If you are doing a lower intensity training session, a high intake of carbohydrates is not essential as fat can be used as fuel. 
Totum Sport contains chromium and zinc, which help your body generate energy from fat. Including fats in the diet aids with recovery, restoring energy levels and omega 3 has an anti-inflammatory effect on the body to help repair muscle damage. 

13. Totum Sport and Protein
During exercise muscles develop micro-tears, which stimulates the body to build bigger and stronger muscles in recovery.  Amino acids from protein sources help to rebuild muscle tissue.
Minerals and amino acids are often absorbed in parallel, which is why taking one sachet of Totum Sport immediately post exercise enhances protein absorption. 
Muscles are composed of a number of different proteins. Proteins are constructed from 20 amino acids, 8 of which are termed essential amino acids because they cannot be synthesised and must be consumed in the diet.

14. The Power of Plankton
Plankton are the most important group of organisms on Earth. They are the foundation of the whole food chain in the oceans and they perform some of the most crucial functions, necessary for the creation of life in the sea and on land.
Phytoplankton use sunlight and photosynthesis to produce almost 70% of the Earth’s oxygen. At the same time they convert minerals and trace elements in seawater to bioavailable organic elements.
Zooplankton in turn feed on the phytoplankton, which release these organic elements into the sea (just below great plankton blooms) as the most potent source of bioavailable minerals on the planet. 

15. The Science behind the Performance
Hydration is one of the most important aspects for maximising performance, supporting all other factors of speed, strength, stamina, concentration, immunity and recovery. Minerals and trace elements are essential for them all.
There are multiple approaches to electrolyte supplementation in sport, but these primarily focus on a few electrolytes such as sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), with some also containing vitamins, a carbohydrate source and artificial sweeteners. 
These mixtures fail to allow for the importance of the rest of the electrolytes required for effective and efficient hydration.

16. The interrelation between all the minerals and trace elements explains why supplementing with only a few electrolytes unbalances the homeostasis and compromises the body’s ability to utilise the rest of the electrolytes to maximum advantage for hydration.
People don’t perceive thirst until dehydration has resulted in water losses of 2% body weight. Studies show that 2% of body weight equates to a 10% loss in performance. Ensuring an athlete is fully hydrated before training and competing is therefore crucial for maximising performance. 
Complete cellular hydration is the key to enable the cells to function properly. The cells require the correct composition of all minerals and trace elements to hold on to intracellular water and achieve cellular hydration.
Athletes that can regulate and maintain blood glucose for longer will delay the switch to anaerobic metabolism and gain advantages in performance and quicker recovery.  Totum Sport delays the switch to less efficient pathways, maximising stamina.
