Electrolytes
Electrolytes are minerals that break into small electrically charged particles called ions. They are present wherever there’s water in your body. They help regulate the body’s fluids to maintain a healthy blood pH balance and create the electrical impulses essential to all aspects of physical activity – from basic cell function to complex neuromuscular interactions needed for athletic performance. The kidneys work to keep the electrolyte concentrations in the blood constant despite changes in the body. Sodium is one of the many important electrolytes.
