Seven reasons new mums swear by these electrolytes
Poor sleep, exhaustion, headaches, muscle cramps, food cravings... it's easy to dismiss these as unavoidable symptoms of new motherhood.
The truth is these are often made worse by nutrient deficiencies. Pregnancy and breastfeeding increase the body's demands for water and minerals by up to 50%. Addressing these requirements can make all the difference.
1. Hydration Support
Feeling THIRSTY? Pregnancy and breastfeeding increase the body's demand for water. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium help maintain proper hydration by balancing fluid levels in the body, helping you avoid symptoms of dehydration. Oshun provides these electrolytes with zero artificial ingredients added, making it ideal for this precious time.
2. Energy Levels & Recovery
Electrolytes are vital for energy production. Low levels can lead to fatigue, which is common during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to increased metabolic demands. Hannah, a mum of 3, says Oshun "brings her back to life" in the morning.
3. Nourishing Mum & Baby
Electrolytes are essential for transporting nutrients across the placenta to the fetus and through the milk to the newborn. They facilitate the absorption of other vital nutrients, ensuring that both baby and mum receive what they need for growth, development, and recovery post-delivery.
4. Muscle Cramps
Pregnant women are prone to muscle cramps, particularly in the legs. Similarly, breastfeeding is physically demanding, and adequate electrolyte balance can prevent muscle fatigue and cramps.
5. Blood Pressure Regulation
Ever feel dizzy? Sodium and potassium help regulate blood pressure, which can fluctuate during pregnancy due to increased blood volume and hormonal changes. Proper electrolyte balance supports cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of conditions like preeclampsia.
6. Flavour-Free, Nausea-Safe
During pregnancy, many women experience unusual tastes or feelings of constantly being full. Add to this the classic case of nausea, and it can be tricky to stay on top of fluid requirements. This is where Oshun stands out: thanks to being totally flavour-free, it's incredibly easy to incorporate without even noticing it. You could be nauseous, suffer from reflux, have aversions to certain flavours - Oshun will be your companion all the way.
7. Safe and Pure Hydration
Oshun is unlike other electrolyte products. It is not made in a lab: it's naturally harvested, concentrated and tested for safety. That means each pump provides pure unadulterated minerals without any artificial additives. This makes Oshun the perfect addition to your hydration habits during and post pregnancy.
