When you sweat through a workout, a hot day, or a long shift, your body loses more than water—it loses electrolytes that keep nerves and muscles firing smoothly. This article walks through each featured ingredient in CHF #97 Electrolyte w/ Glycine 120 Caps. and what research has found about it.
Full ingredient list (per 2-capsule serving): Sodium (as chloride) 42 mg (2% DV); Calcium (as citrate) 90 mg (7% DV); Potassium (as citrate) 76 mg (2% DV); Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) 9.6 mg (565% DV); Magnesium (as citrate) 60 mg (14% DV); Manganese (as gluconate) 15 mg (652% DV); Chloride (from sodium chloride) 70 mg (3% DV); and Glycine 126 mg. Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, silica, and a gelatin capsule. The label suggests 2 capsules daily, or as needed when participating in sports or other physical activities.
MedlinePlus explains that electrolytes are minerals with an electric charge in body fluids. They help balance water, move nutrients into cells, support muscle and nerve function, and help keep heart rhythm and blood pressure steady. Sodium and chloride help control fluid volume; potassium helps cells, heart, and muscles work properly.
The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) notes that potassium is the most abundant intracellular cation and is naturally present in many foods—bananas, potatoes, beans, dairy, and leafy greens are familiar sources. Adults generally need thousands of milligrams of potassium a day from food. CHF #97 supplies a modest 76 mg of potassium citrate plus 42 mg sodium and 70 mg chloride per serving—amounts designed as a supportive capsule boost alongside meals and ordinary hydration rather than a full sports-drink replacement.
ODS describes magnesium as a cofactor in more than 300 enzyme systems that support muscle and nerve function, energy production, and blood pressure regulation. About half of the body’s magnesium sits in bone. Nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy greens are rich food sources. Adult RDAs range from about 310–420 mg depending on age and sex. CHF #97 provides 60 mg of magnesium as citrate (14% DV).
Calcium, the most abundant mineral in the body, builds and maintains bones and teeth and also supports muscle contraction and nerve signaling, according to ODS. Adults typically need 1,000–1,200 mg daily. Each serving of CHF #97 includes 90 mg of calcium citrate—another citrate-form mineral that pairs naturally with magnesium and potassium in this formula.
Vitamin B6 helps more than 100 enzymes involved in protein metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis, and immune function, ODS explains. Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (P-5-P) is an active coenzyme form. Poultry, fish, potatoes, chickpeas, and bananas are common food sources. Adult RDAs are about 1.3–1.7 mg. CHF #97 delivers 9.6 mg as P-5-P—a strong B6 contribution that many people appreciate when they want a dedicated electrolyte capsule with metabolic support built in.
Manganese is a trace mineral that activates enzymes involved in amino acid, cholesterol, and carbohydrate metabolism, bone formation, and antioxidant defenses (including manganese superoxide dismutase), per ODS. Whole grains, nuts, legumes, and leafy vegetables supply it in the diet. Adult Adequate Intakes are about 1.8–2.3 mg. CHF #97 includes 15 mg as manganese gluconate.
Glycine is a simple amino acid your body uses to build proteins, including collagen, and it also participates in nervous-system signaling. Peer-reviewed research has explored oral glycine for sleep quality and next-day alertness; studies often used about 3 grams before bedtime—higher than the 126 mg in this serving. In CHF #97, glycine sits alongside electrolytes as a complementary amino acid many athletes and active adults recognize from recovery-minded formulas.
CHF #97 combines classic sweat-related electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium) with vitamin B6, manganese, and glycine in an easy capsule format. The citrate forms of calcium, potassium, and magnesium are widely used in supplements. The label’s “as needed for sports or physical activity” guidance fits people who want a convenient capsule when hydration demands rise.
Who might enjoy it: adults who sweat heavily at work or in training, people who prefer capsules over sugary sports drinks for everyday electrolyte support, and anyone looking for a Country Health formula that pairs minerals with glycine and P-5-P.
Please check with your clinician first if you:
No. Serving amounts are modest compared with many liquid electrolyte products. Use it as a capsule complement to food, water, and your clinician’s hydration advice.
The label suggests 2 capsules daily, or as needed with sports or physical activity, or as directed by a qualified health professional.
Glycine is a nonessential amino acid used in protein building and studied for sleep and recovery topics; here it accompanies electrolytes in a 126 mg amount per serving.
The listed other ingredients are capsule and flow agents only—no sugar is listed on the Supplement Facts panel described above.
