Electrolytes help provide the electrical energy necessary for many functions within the human body, including nerve impulse transmission and myofibril contractions. Our Electrolyte Powder is made up of the essential electrolytes; Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. When exercising, these nutrients are generally lost through sweating, especially when exercising in hot weather; excessive loss of electrolytes can severely impede performance. The addition of electrolytes to a sports/carbohydrate drink can help maintain salt levels in the body and maintain proper hydration. Keeping a balance of electrolytes can help avoid cramp and dehydration whilst maintaining mental clarity and the ability to perform repetitive myofibril contractions. A loss of just 2% of body weight through dehydration can dramatically impede and negatively affect your physical performance.
