Why do we matter?
Hydration is More Than Just Water:
When you sweat, your body loses critical electrolytes (3,500-7,000 mg) that are essential to performing with peak energy. Without proper replenishment of these electrolytes you can experience various symptoms: muscle cramps, fatigue, and cognitive decline.
The Role of Electrolytes:
- Muscle Function- Electrolytes ensure your muscles contract and relax at a healthy rate, improving endurance and reducing cramps.
- Nerve Function- Electrolytes facilitate the transmission of signals between your brain and body, keeping your reflexes sharp.
- Fluid Balance- Electrolytes regulate the movement of water in your body, hydrating you at a cellular level.
- Energy Production- Electrolytes power metabolic processes that convert the nutrient you extract from food, into usable energy.
Precision Matters:
Like I said before, every person is different, every workout is different, and every sweat droplet is different. In electrolyte replenishment, precision is key. Sweat contains a mix of sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc, but the concentration of these electrolytes varies based on individual physiology, diet, location, and activity intensity.
