Electrolytes
Sodium, potassium and magnesium are lost through sweat. Replacing them keeps energy, focus and performance high in long or hot sessions.
What is it?
Electrolytes are mineral salts that conduct electricity in the body. They regulate hydration, muscle contraction and nerve signalling. Plain water alone can actually dilute them.
