Description of Fatigue

Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness or exhaustion or a need to rest because of lack of energy or strength. Fatigue may result from overwork, poor sleep, worry, boredom, or lack of exercise.

It is a symptom that may be caused by illness, medicine, or medical treatment such as chemotherapy. Anxiety or depression can also cause fatigue.

Fatigue is a symptom, not a disease. Because these symptoms can be caused by many other health problems, the importance of fatigue can be determined only when other symptoms are evaluated.

In rare cases, generalized muscle weakness may be caused by another health problem, such as:

• A problem with the minerals (electrolytes) found naturally in the body, such as low levels of potassium or sodium.
  
  
• Infections, such as a urinary tract infection or a respiratory infection.
  
  
• Problems with the thyroid gland, which regulates the way the body uses energy. 
  
  
  • A low thyroid level (hypothyroidism) can cause fatigue, weakness, lethargy, weight gain, depression, memory problems, constipation, dry skin, intolerance to cold, coarse and thinning hair, brittle nails, or a yellowish tint to the skin.
    
    
  • A high thyroid level (hyperthyroidism) can cause fatigue, weight loss, increased heart rate, intolerance to heat, sweating, irritability, anxiety, muscle weakness, and thyroid enlargement.
    
    
• Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare nerve disorder that causes weakness in the legs, arms, and other muscles and that can progress to complete paralysis.
  
  
• Myasthenia gravis, a rare, chronic disorder that causes weakness and rapid muscle fatigue.

Turn Your Drinking Water Into a Health “Booster”

Most tap water and, yes, most bottled water - despite its advantages - is acidic, which further contributes to acid build-up in your body. Whatever your water source, transform it to an alkaline state by dissolving our AlkaPlex granules in it. It’s also effective dissolved in juices and energy drinks - in fact, as a bonus, it takes the acidic edge off of the taste of many beverages…even coffee and wine.*

Drinking alkaline liquids is especially important before, during and after exercise for the reasons stated above for our caplets. Think of alkaline water as a fast-acting “booster” that complements your regimen of caplets.

(Note: When you mix the granules in  may observe some small, undissolved white specs - about the size of table salt crystals - floating in the water. They are hard bits of the calcium that serves as a “carrier” for the other alkalizing essential minerals in the AlkaPlex compound. They are tasteless and completely harmless.)
