Can supplements such as NO2 affect diving? Will it make you more susceptible to DCS? I'll be waiting your responses.

AND has huge amounts of sugar - easily enough to cause insulin sinsitivity and diabetes.
A bad example of this would be Gatorade, which has huge amounts of sodium and tiny amounts of potassium ( it should be twice as much potassium as sodium) AND has huge amounts of sugar - easily enough to cause insulin sinsitivity and diabetes.
I was once told that Gatorade diluted 50/50 with water, was of approximately the same composition as the Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) mix recommended by the UN World Health Organization. I can't find a reference for that online now though
Since gatorade has little potassium, and huge sodium...the issue is....sodium pulls water out of your muscles, potassium pulls water into your muscle cells...the idea of good hydration is to get more water into the intracellular portion of your body, where it will help you..
To me, Gatorade is the "nutritional equivalent" of smoking cigarettes
Yes, it is related to equilibrium, and this includes relationships with many other minerals, like potassium, calcium, magnesium and more.I have no scientific understanding of the process... but I would assume that the sodium only pulls water out of the cells if it reaches a certain level/strength of concentration within the body.
If the body was losing sodium in the process of persperation, that sodium is necessary to replace sodium...never building the concentration enough, that body fluids are needed to remove it from the body?
