Sqwincher, the Activity Drink, is an electrolyte replacement drink scientifically formulated to replace mineral salts and replenish fluids and sugars at optimal absorption rates, which are depleted as a result of dehydration or through physical exertion. It prevents or reduces the severity of heat stress disorders and provides a supplemental source of energy
Sqwincher has served industrial workers since 1975. It's the only electrolyte replacement drink specially created for the high heat-stress environment of the workplace. What's more, Sqwincher has a solid track record of successes directed against heat stress among industrial workers. And since many workers say they like the taste of Sqwincher better than other popular sports drinks, they're more likely to use Sqwincher on a regular basis and protect themselves and your company against heat stress injury or accidents.
WHAT ARE ELECTROLYTES?
Technically, electrolytes are minerals (magnesium, potassium,sodium, and calcium) that are lost through perspiration or other forms of dehydration, particularly in heat stress situations. Under ideal conditions, electrolytes flow through muscle cells to keep them functioning normally. Perspiration depletes cells of fluids and weakens the muscle tissue. Within seconds of drinking SQWINCHER, the electrolytes are put back where they belong. And in the process, energy is back where it belongs.
Water is the largest single componet in the body and serves as a vehicle for electrolytes because body fluid composition is largely water. Electrolytes are those substances or compounds which, when dissolved in water, dissociate into positively and negatively charged ions. Optimum nerve reaction and muscular activity are dependent on proper exchange of these ions outside and inside cells. Electrolytes can be simple inorganic salts of potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium or complex organic molecules. These minerals are lost through perspiration or other forms of dehydration, particularly in heat stress situations. Loss of body fluid means what it says: loss of water plus its contents (electrolytes) from the body. Intake of plain water replaces part of the loss, intake of an electrolyte drink replaces fluids plus the lost simple inorganic salts, all of which work together in keeping the body functioning properly. Within seconds of drinking SQWINCHER, the electrolytes are put back where they belong. And in the process, energy is back where it belongs.

Spend Pennies, Save Thousands. The Odds Are In Your Favor.
During the last two decades, plant managers, safety directors, plant nurses and industrial hygienists have relied on Sqwincher to protect workers in heat environments and help protect their operations against high disability costs, lost time and lowered productivity. For an average cost of less than a penny per ounce*, you can provide your workers with an electrolyte replacement drink program that is easy to administer and highly effective. With Sqwincher as part of your safety program, the odds are in your favor.
Sqwincher offers a wide variety of dispensing options, such as ready-to-drink, liquid and powder concentrates and package sizes - plus several, great tasting flavors. Talk to your Sqwincher distributor about the size of your department and the heat stress demands your workers face. Your distributor can recommend which Sqwincher package and dispensing option will be most effective in your environment.
How Sqwincher Keeps Working Muscles Working.
In industrial heat-stress environments, the body cools itself by perspiring. When this occurs, much more is lost than just water; magnesium, potassium, sodium and calcium are also depleted. These minerals, or "electrolytes," are crucial to workers if they are to maintain healthy muscles and a productive energy level. Without electrolytes, workers become dehydrated and heat stress - or more serious injury - can be imminent. It's proven that water alone cannot sufficiently replace electrolytes to prevent heat stress. Pure water is absorbed slowly and cannot be retained in the extra cellular cavity. The rate of absorption of Sqwincher as compared with water is 98% faster in the first minute.
Can other products created for a sports environment, where people are active for short periods on random days, be expected to perform in an industrial environment where workers are active up to eight hours a day, five days a week? Why take a chance? With 50 percent less sodium and approximately 50 percent more potassium than most sports drinks used in industry, Sqwincher gives workers one of the most effective electrolyte replacement drinks available.
