Having a nurse for a wife has its obvious benefits – I became more aware of health matters and at the very least, basic understanding of nutrition and how it affects our body.
She herself is a fan of Gatorade for hydration, beyond just being a flavored beverage.
In that line of thought, I’d like to share with you a new product I recently discovered when we attended an Amway Philippines media conference for their featured product – Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder.

Hydration and Amway’s Nutrilite PhytoPowder
In a tropical country like the Philippines, rehydration is much more vital specially for those who live active lifestyles. And to address this, the Nutrilite PhytoPowder comes in convenient foil stick pack which you can bring anywhere and drink just by adding water.
As an added note, science has shown that when we sweat, drink too much alcohol, or when we have diarrhea, we lose not just water but the ability to retain water. is is because the electrolytes that allow the human body to retain water are in fact water soluble, the water we lose also washes away electrolytes as we lose it.

This is why electrolyte drinks are more effective for oral rehydration than water alone. The infusion of electrolytes quickly restores the body’s ability to maintain the correct percentage of water, something that we literally need in order to survive.
However, it has been known for some time that apart from water and electrolytes we also lose water soluble vitamins during the course of the day, more so when we are active, among these are vitamins, such as Vitamin B Complex, and Vitamin C. Th e same happens with a ‘hangover‘ which is basically a state of dehydration. This is where Nutrilite PhytoPowder comes in again as a water-soluble vitamin supplementation partially addresses the dehydration by replacing lost vitamins.
Moreover, unlike their fat-soluble counterparts, water soluble vitamins are used up quickly and more frequently. They can also provide all kinds of mental and physical benefits from improved alertness to increased energy, to improved immune function. It is also nearly impossible to overdose on water soluble vitamins, because we simply get rid of excess quantities through urination.
More Benefits of Nutrilite PhytoPowder
Aside from being a solution for hydration, PhytoPowder is a phytonutrient, fiber enhanced, and are powerful antioxidants. Phytonutrients are plant based compounds with myriad benefits that were first identified by Nutrilite founder Carl Rhenborg in 1934.

The benefits of phytonutrients are as diverse as improved vision, improved mental alertness, improved joints, prostate health, cellular health and many more. On the other hand, the benefits of fiber are well documented, particularly its role in digestion, nutrient absorption and detoxification.
As a stick pack dissolving conveniently in water, PhytoPowder comes in two variants, Refresh Lemon for regular hydration, and Electrolyte Orange for those extra active days.
The fiber, vitamins and phytonutrients in PhytoPowder are obtained through Nutrilite’s unique seed to supplement approach. Nutrilite employs 150 scientists at any given time and does exhaustive research into plants and other possible sources of all kinds of beneficial nutrients.
Plants that are identified as having beneficial compounds are grown on certified organic farms all over the globe. The active nutrients that go into all Nutrilite products are derived exclusively from these plants.
