Krampade 2K is an ideal drop-in replacement for a typical sports drink and our go-to product meeting most people's needs. Designed for athletes, 2K is primarily used to help prevent cramping and for enhanced performance during and recovery after training or competition, on the job, or just in everyday life. Krampade started simply as an experiment by the founder, a medical school professor who suffered from cramps his entire life. Suffering through cramps as a college athlete and under many circumstances, including experiencing tetany in his hands and feet, he felt there had to be a better way to live. At 49, he embarked on an experiment using self-dosing of potassium chloride to replace potassium lost every day through kidney function. Suddenly his cramps went away! His hands stopped cramping while doing simple tasks and his cramping during competition, exercise, and everyday life simply vanished. Krampade was born. Krampade works for a wide range of cramps, from athletic cramps to night-time leg and foot cramps to menstrual cramps to everyday cramping associated with one's job or activity...simply...Krampade just works! Krampade is "Based on Science, not Sweat". Other sports drinks are formulated to replace electrolytes lost in sweat. This assumes that all electrolytes lost in sweat provide a complete picture of electrolyte balance in the body. This is only a partial picture and this myopic view has created the dogma upon which nearly all sports drinks are based. This sweat-centric view does not take into account the shift in kidney function during sweating. As the body loses sodium through sweat, the kidney shifts from losing sodium to losing potassium. This causes a loss in potassium from muscles. The more a muscle works, the more potassium is lost. When potassium in muscle cells is reduced, cramping occurs. The Krampade solution is to rapidly replace this potassium, shifting the level of potassium in the blood to help replace potassium lost.
