FitLine Restorate: Your Guide to Minerals, Electrolytes & Evening Recovery

Minerals and electrolytes are among the most fundamental building blocks your body needs every single day. From maintaining normal bone structure to supporting the immune system, these micronutrients are involved in countless physiological processes. Yet many people fall short of their daily requirements – especially when it comes to a balanced combination of minerals rather than isolated supplementation.

FitLine Restorate is a mineral supplement that provides a carefully balanced blend of magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, chromium, selenium, molybdenum, potassium, and vitamin D3 – all delivered through the patented Nutrient Transport Concept (NTC). It contains magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue¹, calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth², and zinc, which contributes to normal function of the immune system³.

This guide covers everything about Restorate – from its mineral complex and the reason behind the evening timing to preparation tips, its role in the Optimal Set, athlete recovery, and our exclusive interactive 30-Day Evening Mineral Routine Tracker.

The Mineral Complex: Key Ingredients Breakdown

What makes Restorate stand out among mineral supplements is that it does not rely on a single isolated mineral. Instead, it provides a scientifically balanced combination of minerals and trace elements in the proportions your body needs. Here is what each key ingredient brings:

Major Minerals

• Magnesium: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue¹. It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. Magnesium is one of the most common mineral deficiencies in modern diets.
• Calcium: Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth². It also contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal muscle function. The correct ratio of calcium to magnesium in Restorate is crucial for optimal absorption.
• Potassium: An essential electrolyte that supports normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal blood pressure. Potassium is especially important for people who exercise regularly and lose electrolytes through sweat.

Essential Trace Elements

• Zinc: Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system³. It also contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, nails, and skin, and supports normal acid-base metabolism.
• Iron: Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, and to normal oxygen transport in the body. It also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Manganese: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Manganese also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Copper: Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. Copper also contributes to normal iron transport in the body.
• Chromium: Contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and to normal macronutrient metabolism.
• Selenium: Contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
• Molybdenum: Contributes to normal metabolism of sulfur amino acids, playing a role in several enzymatic reactions in the body.

Vitamins

• Vitamin D3: Vitamin D contributes to normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus⁴. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. The inclusion of vitamin D3 in Restorate is particularly important because it enhances the uptake of calcium from the formula.
• Vitamin C: Contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage. Vitamin C also increases iron absorption, which is significant given that Restorate contains iron.

All of these are delivered through the patented Nutrient Transport Concept (NTC), which supports optimal nutrient bioavailability. The mineral compounds in Restorate – including citrates and other forms – are selected for their superior absorption characteristics.

Why Evening Is the Best Time for Minerals

One of the most common questions about Restorate is: why take it in the evening? There are several science-based reasons why this timing makes sense.

The Rest and Regeneration Phase

During the night, your body enters its primary rest and regeneration phase. This is when repair processes are most active – from muscle tissue to bone maintenance. Having a supply of essential minerals available during this phase supports these natural processes. Magnesium, in particular, contributes to normal muscle function¹, which is relevant when your muscles are recovering from the day’s activities.

Magnesium and Tiredness Reduction

Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue¹. Taking it in the evening aligns this benefit with the natural winding-down period of your day, helping your body transition into its rest phase with adequate mineral stores.

Separation from Morning Supplements

In the Optimal Set and similar FitLine routines, the morning is typically when you take Activize and Basics (or PowerCocktail). Taking Restorate in the evening provides each product with its own absorption window, so that different nutrients are not competing for uptake at the same time. This separation is part of the FitLine philosophy of optimal timing for optimal results.

Better Absorption on a Relatively Empty Stomach

Restorate should be taken at least 30 minutes away from a meal. The evening, after your last meal has been digested, provides an ideal window for unhindered mineral absorption.

How to Prepare & Take Restorate

Proper preparation makes a difference in both taste and absorption. Follow these steps for the best experience:

• Use still water: Dissolve one sachet of Restorate in a glass (approx. 200 ml) of still, non-carbonated water. Avoid sparkling water as the carbonation can interfere with the mineral compounds.
• Stir well: Stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved and the drink is slightly effervescent. Make sure there are no clumps at the bottom of the glass.
• Drink slowly in sips: Do not gulp the drink down. Sipping it slowly allows the minerals to be absorbed gradually as they pass through your digestive system.
• Warm water option: Some users prefer slightly warm (not hot) water, which can help the powder dissolve more easily and gives the citrus flavor a soothing, tea-like quality. This is especially pleasant during colder months.
• Timing: Take Restorate in the evening before bedtime, keeping at least 30 minutes between the drink and your last meal. Many users make it part of their nightly wind-down routine.

Pro tips:

• Each box contains 30 sachets – a full month’s supply at one sachet per day.
• Do not mix Restorate directly with other FitLine products in the same glass.
• If you exercise in the evening, you can take Restorate after your workout instead of before bed to support post-exercise mineral replenishment.
• Store the sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Restorate in the Optimal Set: The Evening Foundation

Restorate is one of the three core products in the FitLine Optimal Set – the most popular product combination in the entire FitLine range. Here is how the three components work together for holistic daily nutrition:

• Morning – Activize: An energy-supporting drink with B vitamins, vitamin C, and iron. It contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue at the start of the day.
• Morning – Basics or PowerCocktail: Provides a broad foundation of plant-based phytonutrients, fiber, and essential vitamins. PowerCocktail combines both Basics and Activize into a single convenient product.
• Evening – Restorate: The mineral and trace element complex you take before bed, providing the minerals your body needs during its nightly regeneration phase.

This morning-evening system ensures that your body receives different types of nutrients at the times when they can be best utilized. The complete Optimal Set guide covers this in more detail, including combination strategies and daily schedules.

The Optimal Set is also available at a discounted package price, making it the most cost-effective way to get your daily Restorate supply along with the morning products. Consider our flexible subscription feature for automatic monthly delivery.

Restorate for Athletes: Electrolyte Replenishment & Recovery

Athletes have significantly higher mineral requirements than sedentary individuals. During exercise, the body loses substantial amounts of electrolytes – including magnesium, potassium, calcium, zinc, and iron – through sweat. Restoring these losses is essential for maintaining performance and supporting recovery.

Why Athletes Choose Restorate

• Post-exercise recovery: Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function¹ and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue¹. After intense training, replenishing magnesium stores is important for normal muscle recovery.
• Electrolyte balance: The combination of magnesium, calcium, potassium, and other minerals helps restore the electrolyte balance that is disrupted during prolonged physical activity.
• Iron for oxygen transport: Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and to normal formation of red blood cells. Athletes, particularly endurance athletes, often have higher iron requirements.
• Immune system support: Intense training can temporarily suppress immune function. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system³, and vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Cologne List Certified

FitLine Restorate is listed on the Cologne List (Kölner Liste), a globally recognized initiative for safer sports supplements. Every production batch is tested for prohibited substances under the World Anti-Doping Code. This makes Restorate safe for athletes subject to doping controls – from amateur competitors to professional athletes worldwide.

For training days, many athletes take Restorate both after their workout and in the evening. Combined with the FitLine Fitness-Drink during training and Activize before exercise, Restorate forms a complete sports supplementation strategy.

Restorate & Pregnancy: Important Mineral Considerations

During pregnancy, the body’s demand for certain minerals increases significantly. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones² – for both the mother and the developing baby. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function¹, which becomes particularly relevant as the body changes during pregnancy. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system³ and to normal DNA synthesis.

Important: While Restorate provides many minerals that are important during pregnancy, always consult your healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your doctor or midwife can advise on appropriate supplementation based on your individual needs, blood work results, and any other supplements or prenatal vitamins you may already be taking.
