Dehydration is strongly associated with electrolyte imbalances [1].
Electrolytes support the proper balance of water inside and outside of the body's cells; this ensures that organs and muscles function continuously [2].
Sodium is one of the most important electrolytes to replenish during activity as the loss of sodium is linked to muscle cramps and additional complications such as nerve problems [2, 3].
Potassium is the most abundant electrolyte in the body [4-6]
Low levels of magnesium are linked to electrolyte disorders [7-9].
Phosphate plays a role in nutrient and fluid transport [9]
Calcium plays a role in muscle movement and well as the circulation of fluid [9, 10].
Hydration [1]; Enhanced and sustained energy levels [1, 2]
Sodium helps maintain fluid balance and supports proper muscle contractions, acid-base balance, and nerve function [2, 3]. Sweating causes the loss of sodium more than another other electrolyte [2, 3].
Potassium targets fatigue that is often linked to dehydration and it supports muscle contractions, urinary function, cardiovascular function, acid-base balance, digestive health, and the nervous system [4-6].
Magnesium supports proper muscle contractions and muscle relaxation during activity as well as glucose metabolism, which is involved in the production of energy [7-9].
Phosphate helps buffer fluid in and out of cells, it improves nutrient transport, and it promotes energy storage [9].
Calcium helps regulate fluid transport by influencing the narrowing and widening of blood vessels [9, 10]. It also plays a role in the regulation of the heartbeat, muscle contractions, and nutrient transport [9, 10].
