Description
Electrolytes are important minerals that are found in the body. Optimal electrolyte levels are important as they keep the bodies fluids in balance and help your body to function healthy. More specifically, Electrolytes move fluid in and out of your cells, carry nutrients into the cells and waste products back out as well as help the acids and bases in your blood stay in balance.
NutriPATH offer an electrolytes panel that assesses 7 key crucial elements that will provide clinically useful information of a patient’s overall electrolyte status. Electrolyte imbalances are quite common and may be caused by several conditions. If electrolyte imbalances are not assessed or treated this may lead to a dysfunction of vital body systems, such as the muscles and brain.
