Five reasons I swear by these electrolytes
Shop with code: Motherkind“I thought I was just tired... turns out most mums are chronically dehydrated. Oshun helps my body actually absorb the water I'm drinking. My brain fog lifted, my energy is more stable.”
- Zoe Blaskey, Motherkind
Exhaustion, headaches, muscle cramps, food cravings, swelling... it's easy to dismiss these as unavoidable symptoms of motherhood.
The truth is these are often linked to a lack of electrolytes. Below are five reasons why I've fallen in love with Oshun Electrolytes and recommend it to all my mum friends.
1. Simple habit I actually stick to
Oshun is unlike other electrolyte products I've tried. It's fully natural and has no added ingredients. It's safe for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the whole family.
But the thing that really makes it work for me? I actually stick to it. No messy powders or overly sweetened drinks. Just a couple pumps in my filtered water bottle and I'm good to go.
2. Water absorption
Feeling THIRSTY? Pregnancy, breastfeeding, stress, anxiety all increase the body's demand for hydration. But water alone is not enough: Electrolytes allow your body to actually retain moisture and send it where you need it most.
That's why it helps my brain fog and energy levels. At different times it will help with pregnancy thirst, or with solving stubbornly dry skin and chapped lips. I've even heard stories of increased milk supply!
3. Nourishing Mum & Baby
Pregnancy and breastfeeding increase the body's demands for water and electrolytes by up to 50%.
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.
“I started using Oshun in my third trimester. I feel more rested and I'm not overthinking things as much as I was. I feel like I'm giving myself and my baby the hydration needed to grow.”
- Elise, expecting baby #1
4. Supporting my mental load
Electrolytes are vital for energy production. Low levels can lead to fatigue, which is common during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to increased metabolic demands.
Today, my kids are growing up. That comes with a different type of burden: the mental load, the anxiety, the exhaustion. It turns out a part of my ongoing fatigue was actually dehydration. Oshun helps me clear the brain fog and raise my energy levels.
5. Bonus: plump, hydrated skin!
I used to associate electrolytes with exercise. Now I see they can also be a form of internal skincare. By helping your body retain moisture, Oshun can fix stubbornly dry areas. Think: dry skin, chapped lips and even dry itchy eyes.
If this sounds like you, you're in for a treat!
“Two pumps of Oshun in the morning and WOW, it really brings me back to life”
- Hannah, mum of 3
Oshun Electrolytes
Add Oshun to water or any of your favourite drinks at the press of a pump. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we recommend 6-8 pumps per day. Each bottle contains 200 pumps: enough for a month's supply.
