Electrolytes support everything from your muscle function to regulating fluid balance to immune function and cell growth in your body. 

Most sports drinks are loaded with sugar, causing your blood sugar to spike and crash, But 13 Hydrating Electrolytes have zero sugar, plus they’re loaded with essential minerals like sodium, magnesium, zinc, and potassium that your body loses through sweat. 

Sodium aids in the absorption of nutrients in your gut, maintaining cognitive function, nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. But, from an athletes point of view at least, perhaps the most critical function it plays is in helping you maintain a fluid balance in your body.

Sodium boosts your blood plasma volume. The more blood you have, the less strain on your cardiovascular system as it works to deliver oxygen to your muscles. Basically, sodium’s pretty important if you want to maintain your performance when it counts.

Potassium Potassium, just like sodium, plays a significant role in muscular contractions & relaxations (thus enabling you to train hard). It ensures proper recovery when ingested after strenuous exercise, and prevents excessive cramping due to electrolyte balance. 

In addition, potassium ions have a huge part in healthy brain activity and promote cognitive functionality (leading a potentially greater mind/muscle connection while training).

Magnesium is vital for the conversion of glycogen to glucose – the body’s main fuel during exercise. Without sufficient levels the body switches to anaerobic metabolism resulting in a build up of lactic acid and associated muscle soreness and spasms. 

Magnesium together with calcium is essential for optimal muscle function. A deficiency in magnesium can result in muscle and nerve twitches, spasms and cramping. Having sufficient magnesium helps speed up recovery, reduce fatigue and avoid injuries.

These are the signs that you haven't put back into your body what you’ve lost!

- Lack of energy and increased fatigue

- Feeling nauseous or like you haven't eaten enough

- Post-workout headaches

- Continuous muscle cramps

- Acute dizziness

- Abnormal heart rhythm
