THE VITALMTRX SCIENCE
RESEARCH-BACKED PERFORMANCE NUTRITION
CURIOSITY IS OUR CATALYST
WHY VITALMTRX?
While most supplement companies start with market trends, we let curiosity lead the way. Our foundation is built on the latest exercise science—examining how the human body functions during intense physical demands. This deep curiosity about human performance drives us to question conventional wisdom and investigate cellular mechanisms through rigorous testing. Each question leads to new insights about how the body responds to physical stress, revealing opportunities to support natural biological processes rather than override them. This unwavering commitment to scientific investigation—not market trends or industry assumptions—guides each product we develop.
THE SCIENCE OF HYDRATION
Effective hydration happens at the cellular level and requires precise mineral balance. Water alone isn't enough. Electrolytes—minerals carrying electrical charges—regulate neural signaling, muscle contraction and fluid balance. These minerals work in specific ratios within your cells to maintain optimal performance.
During high-intensity exercise, athletes can lose around 1-3 liters of sweat per hour, rapidly disrupting this delicate mineral balance. The physiological impact is significant: a mere 2% decrease in body weight through sweat loss measurably decreases aerobic capacity. Deviations in electrolyte concentration directly impair cellular energy production, nerve conduction, and muscular efficiency. Understanding how these minerals work together reveals why their precise balance, no simply sodium loading, is essential for maintaining peak performance.
Sodium and Chloride:
Primary regulators of extracellular fluid balance. Crucial for neural transmission and muscle excitability and contraction efficiency.
Potassium:
Essential for intracellular fluid balance. Responsible for membrane potential and directly impacts muscle function and cellular hydration
Magnesium:
Fundamental cofactor in energy metabolism and ATP production. Supports optimal neuromuscular function and muscle recovery.
The principles of cellular physiology and mineral interaction guided the formulation of HydrationMTRX. Every mineral ratio is carefully and intentionally calibrated to support optimal cellular function.
OUR ELECTROLYTE FORMULATION
THE SCIENCE OF PRECISE RATIOS
Many electrolyte supplements rely on high-sodium formulas—an approach that can limit performance during prolonged training. Our research revealed a fundamental truth: performance depends on balanced mineral proportions, not excessive quantities. Here's how we translated this science into every packet of HydrationMTRX:
150mg Magnesium Malate: Magnesium is essential for cellular energy production, nerve signaling, neuromuscular coordination, and efficient muscle contraction. Your brain, heart, and muscles rely heavily on magnesium to function optimally. By pairing magnesium with malic acid, we enhance absorption and support ATP (energy) production, muscle recovery, and nerve communication.
500mg Sodium: While sodium is crucial for fluid balance and hydration, more isn't always better. We've carefully calibrated our sodium levels to support sustained hydration without overloading your system. This measured approach allows for multiple servings during extended training, and maintains optimal hydration levels whether you're running an ultramarathon or doing your daily workout.
400mg Potassium Chloride: As the primary electrolyte inside your cells, potassium works in harmony with sodium outside the cell to maintain cellular fluid balance. Potassium chloride supports hydration to prevent excessive water loss while supporting proper muscle function without introducing unnecessary compounds into your system.
PROTEIN AND PERFORMANCE
WHAT THE SCIENCE SAYS
Athletic performance relies on protein utilization at the cellular level. Muscle fibers experience microscopic damage during intense training, triggering a complex repair process that requires specific amino acids. These amino acids serve as building blocks for protein synthesis, enabling both recovery and adaptation. The body’s demand for these essential compounds increases significantly during intense training. Meeting these demands requires complete protein sources containing all nine essential amino acids. Optimal performance is not just about consuming protein—it's about providing the right amino acids when your body needs them most.
THE PROTEIN CHALLENGE
Protein plays a fundamental role in athletic performance. Muscles need complete amino acids to repair, recover, and strengthen. Meeting this need effectively comes with several physiological and practical challenges:
- Digestive intolerance: Most protein supplements rely on dairy-based formulas that can trigger digestive stress, inflammation, and reduced absorption
- Insufficient intake: Athletes engaged in high-intensity training often require more protein than they can realistically consume through whole foods alone
- Demands of performance: Peak performance demands both recovery support and sustained energy—requiring a more sophisticated approach
- Inconvenient: Traditional protein solutions are bulky and inconvenient for use outside the home, leading to inconsistent consumption
Our investigation into these challenges revealed opportunities for innovation in both protein composition and delivery mechanisms.
OUR PROTEIN FORMULATION
TRANSLATING RESEARCH INTO RESULTS
Working closely with athletes in our performance laboratory pushed us to rethink protein supplementation. We looked beyond conventional formulas to develop a solution that enhances the body's natural recovery processes while solving common performance barriers:
25g Grass-Fed Beef Protein: Delivers all nine essential amino acids in their most bioavailable forms. With 14x more glycine than whey protein, it supports both muscle recovery and digestive health.
70mg of Natural Caffeine: Enhances mental clarity without overwhelming the system. It works synergistically with protein to support physical and cognitive performance, especially during morning training or extended sessions.
Organic Monk Fruit: Selected for its clean sweetness profile and additional antioxidant properties, supporting steady blood sugar levels without triggering digestive sensitivity.
