Electrolytes

Sources:

Electrolytes help nerve cells function and support hydration, cognitive performance, and physical performance.

  • Sodium, magnesium, and potassium: These electrolytes are especially relevant during exercise and hot weather, when sweating leads to water and electrolyte losses.
  • Performance effects: Even slight dehydration can diminish cognitive and physical performance; water loss during exercise can also affect mental capacity and physical performance.
  • Replacing electrolytes: A sugar-free electrolyte mix such as Element dissolved in water can help provide hydration and electrolytes.
