The science, minus the homework.
You've got enough on your plate. Pour yourself something cold. Here's what's going on in your body in perimenopause and beyond, in plain English, and why we built Dynasty the way we did.
Let's clear a few things up.
“More salt means better hydration.”
Most of us get plenty of sodium from food, and a Tuesday walk doesn't need a marathon dose. Many popular mixes run 500 to 1,000 mg. Dynasty is 200 mg, sized for everyday.
“Hormones can change how your body handles fluid at midlife.”
Estrogen and progesterone affect how your body handles water & sodium. As they shift in perimenopause, so can fluid regulation, and research shows thirst cues can get less reliable with age. Consistency matters.
“You have to be a hardcore athlete to need electrolytes.”
Walks, Pilates, barre, lifting, Sunday league: daily movement counts. And most women get less potassium than recommended. One stick a day keeps it simple.
“Most sport science research was done on women.”
Only about 6% of sport and exercise science studies focus exclusively on women. That’s exactly why we built Dynasty.
It's not you. It's your hormones.
Estrogen and progesterone do a lot more than run your cycle. They also help decide how your body holds on to water and sodium. When they start to swing in perimenopause, how your body handles water and sodium can shift too, so a steady daily habit matters.
"My legs felt heavier, I took longer to recover, and nothing in my routine had changed. That sent me down the perimenopause rabbit hole."
Most days aren't marathon days.
Most of us get plenty of sodium from food, and your Tuesday walk doesn't need a marathon dose. Women also typically lose less sodium per hour than men, because we sweat less. Popular mixes run 500 to 1,000 mg. Dynasty is 200 mg, sized for everyday.
So we sized sodium for everyday and turned up what midlife asks for: 400 mg potassium, plus magnesium and calcium.
Formulated for her.
Eleven functional ingredients in four groups, each chosen for active women in midlife.
Potassium Citrate, Unrefined Sea Salt, Magnesium Malate, Calcium Citrate
Sized for everyday activity, not marathons.
-
Potassium Citrate400 mg
Most women get less potassium than recommended, so there’s twice as much potassium as sodium.
-
Unrefined Sea Salt200 mg
Women lose less sodium in sweat than men on average.
-
Magnesium Malate140 mg
Many women fall short on magnesium, which is involved in muscle function and energy metabolism.
-
Calcium Citrate75 mg
Works alongside magnesium and potassium in muscle contraction.
Taurine, L-Glycine
Found naturally in muscle and connective tissue.
-
Taurine
One of the most abundant free amino acids in muscle. Plays a role in muscle function and fluid balance.
-
L-Glycine
A building block of collagen, paired with vitamin C, which the body needs to form collagen.
Zinc Bisglycinate
For normal immune function.
-
Zinc Bisglycinate
Supports normal immune function. Bisglycinate is zinc bound to glycine.
Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C
For energy metabolism and collagen formation.
-
Vitamin B3
Supports normal energy metabolism. Included as niacinamide.
-
Vitamin B6
Supports normal energy metabolism. Women’s recommended B6 intake increases after 50. Included as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, the active form.
-
Vitamin B12
Absorption from food can decline with age. Supports normal energy metabolism and red blood cell formation. Included as methylcobalamin.
-
Vitamin C
Needed for normal collagen formation. Also supports normal immune function.
Plus organic monk fruit, organic lemon juice powder, and lemon and lime extracts.
Tear. Shake. Sit down for a sec.
-
Tear a stick
One stick a day is the habit. Big training day? Have a second.
-
Add 10–20 oz cold water
Shake it up. Light lemon lime, never salty.
-
Take five
You've earned it. Game on after.
Right-sized hydration, one stick a day.
Right-sized hydration for women who keep moving. Love it or your money back within 30 days.
