The Science of the Sodium-Potassium Cellular Pump
Hydration is not merely the volume of water you consume, but the cellular voltage that draws moisture across lipid membranes. ### The Voltage Gate Every living human cell maintains a negative resting membrane potential. This biological battery is powered exclusively by the Na+/K+-ATPase pump—a microscopic engine expelling 3 sodium ions while importing 2 potassium ions. When you drink distilled or demineralized water, osmosis flushes away these extracellular electrolytes, triggering hyponatremia and cellular fatigue. ### The Clinical Ratio ESSORA's mineral sachets provide 500mg of unrefined pink salt sodium matched with bioactive potassium citrate to ensure zero intracellular water retention.
