🧬 SF1 — Mineral & Electrolyte Support

🧠 Hydration for Focus, Calm & Performance:

Why SF1 Is Not Just Better — It’s Super

Many people think dehydration means dry lips or thirst.
But science tells a different story.

Dehydration — even as little as 1–2% of body weight — can impair:

• Short-term memory

• Working memory

• Decision-making speed

• Sustained attention

• Emotional regulation

• Reaction time and accuracy

These effects occur in children, students, working professionals, and elite athletes.
In most cases, people aren’t even aware they are dehydrated.

💧 Hydration Isn’t Just Thirst — It’s Brain + Cell Fuel

Water makes up ~75 % of the brain and ~60 % of total body weight. But hydration isn’t just about drinking water — it’s about having the right minerals (electrolytes) to move that water where it’s needed. Without them, even plenty of water can leave cells dry and nervous systems stressed. Mild dehydration — just 1–2 % of body water loss — can impair attention, memory, reaction time, and mood in adults.

Both children and the elderly are especially vulnerable:

• Children starting the day dehydrated show reduced cognitive performance on school tasks.

• Older adults may experience declines in language, memory, and executive performance with even slight hydration shortfalls.

• Dehydration in the elderly is linked to more hospital admissions and worse health outcomes.

⚠️ Brain cells need water AND electrolytes (especially sodium, potassium, magnesium) to function normally. Without balance, neurons misfire, networks slow down, and cognition can become foggy or erratic.

🎓 Students & Cognitive Workers

University students, exam-takers, knowledge workers, and high-performance professionals rely on fluid neural function to think, reason, remember, and remain calm.

But studies show:

🧪 Mild dehydration can impair concentration, reduce memory recall, and worsen performance on complex mental tasks.
(Armstrong LE et al., 2012; Ganio MS et al., 2011)

And:

🧠 Hydration status affects cognitive flexibility — the ability to switch between tasks and process new information.
(Pross N et al., 2014)

This isn’t about effort — it’s biology.

💡 Most hydration drinks target thirst and taste, not electrolyte transport or neurological performance.
💡 SF1 Yin supports brain energy, fluid transport into cells, and mental calm — without stimulation or sugar.

🧬 Elite Athletes & Physical Performance

Elite athletes sweat heavily — losing far more sodium than potassium.
This alters the Na⁺/K⁺ ratio and creates specific needs:

• Sodium loss causes cramping, muscle fatigue, and slower recovery

• But it also affects reaction time, strategic clarity, and mental focus during pressure

• Dehydrated brains make worse decisions under stress — and forget trained patterns

⚠️ Many coaches misattribute poor on-field decisions to “lack of discipline” or “mental weakness” — when in fact it may be electrolyte disruption impairing short-term working memory and focus
(Logue D et al., 2018; Casa DJ et al., 2010)

Mix SF1 with Your Favourite Flavourings:

We don’t try to compete on flavour, hence we don’t have any added flavourings in our ingredients (just natural stevia).

If you want it to taste JUST AS YOU LIKE IT – then simply mix it in some water with lemon or limes or some berries – simple. Try to avoid using juices as they will spike your insulin levels and unbalance your sytem.

Add to:

• Water (still or sparkling)

• Warm water with lemon or herbal teas

• Dark berry smoothies, lemon or lime – even herbal teas.

🚀 Why SF1 Is Super, Not Just “Better”

Most electrolyte drinks:

• Taste nice

• Contain stimulants, acids, or artificial sweeteners

• Offer high sodium with no real potassium or magnesium

• Are designed for short-term energy, not long-term neurophysiological optimisation

SF1 Yin & Yang were built to:

• Mimic your body’s cellular ratios

• Fit LiCrON nutritional strategies (low insulin, clean electrolyte restoration)

• Serve both daily mental wellness and peak physical performance

• Deliver real value to those who sweat, strain, study, or age

🧘 Who Is SF1 For?

Most users benefit from both — YIN daily, YANG when sweating.

---

🔬 Autophagy & Fasting

SF1 is a perfect fasting companion:

• No insulin spike

• No protein/amino acids

• No sugar or glucose

• Full cellular hydration

• Supports electrolyte balance during fasting windows

It’s ideal for those using intermittent fasting, extended fasting, or looking to support autophagy and cellular repair without breaking fast.

SF1-YIN in particular is gentle enough for long-term fasting protocols, mental clarity, and hormonal balance.

🧩 Modular Usage

• 5g for light hydration or children

• 10–15g for standard adult daily use

• 20g for sweat loss, heat, stress, or intensity
