Who Really Needs Electrolytes?
Electrolytes, mainly sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, help regulate fluid balance, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions. They are lost through sweat, which is why they become relevant during longer or more intense training sessions. The important distinction is that electrolyte needs are based on sweat loss, not sport participation, age, or how hard you feel like you’re working.
