EasyLyte Expand Solution Pack (Na, K, Cl, Ca/ Li)

Clinical Significance:

Sodium ion are essential to maintain cell membrane osmolarity. Along with potassium, it maintains the electrochemical gradient across the cell membrane via the sodium-potassium pump, thereby aiding in nerve conduction and muscle contraction. It aids in transportation of nutrients in and out of cells, and even maintains the pH of the stomach aiding digestion. Like sodium, chloride influences neural activity and muscle function, but chloride carries a negative charge rather than a positive one. Chloride, in the form of hydrochloric acid, is also a major component of gastric juice, which in turn digests and absorbs essential nutrients from food. Calcium is also critical for muscle contraction, nerve signaling, blood clotting and maintaining normal heart function. he first line of defense against disease is a proper pH balance. The first line of defense against disease is a proper pH balance. Disease can only grow in an acidic body, which makes a condition favorable for the growth of bacteria, yeast, fungus, mold, viruses, and any other unwanted organisms. Cancer always strikes those with an over-acidic body.
