ELECTROLYTES

Effervescent tablets allow you to consume a drink high in electrolytes to replace electrolytes lost during exercise, preventing muscle cramps and poor performance. It is a simple and effective solution if you do not want to drink (or only a little) isotonic drinks or carbohydrates and sugar and want to use other energy sources (gels, bars, chewing gum, etc.). Effervescent tablets have a refreshing and mild taste.

We know five key electrolytes, namely sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride. At the same time, it is important to expose bicarbonate and phosphate. When we exercise, we sweat faster and therefore lose electrolytes. Excessive electrolyte loss can lead to electrolyte imbalance in the body and dehydration. Excessive loss of salt leads to dehydration, which in turn leads to a decrease in performance, premature muscle fatigue and exhaustion, or the appearance of cramps.

If we avoid consuming salt and fluids during physical activity, the blood volume decreases, which means it has to pump faster to supply the muscles with oxygen and nutrients. This leads to losses in performance and endurance, which can lead to poor results or the cancellation of competitions.

Key electrolytes

When it comes to electrolytes, sodium takes center stage. Sodium plays a role in fluid balance, water absorption, blood pressure regulation and muscle contraction. Normal sodium levels are essential for the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contractions. Sodium helps absorb water from the intestines. Drinks containing carbohydrates and sodium contribute to increased water intake. Sodium's primary function is to maintain a normal balance of body fluids and osmotic pressure.

Sodium added to pre-workout drinks can improve the amount of fluid retained in the body instead of excreted in urine. Sodium added to sports drinks improves taste and encourages drinking, which can be helpful in preventing excessive fluid loss during exercise. Sodium during exercise reduces blood osmolality and reduces (but does not eliminate) the effects of aggressive fluid replacement on the risk of hyponatremia.

Magnesium and potassium are important for proper muscle function. Magnesium also supports the normal function of nerves and energy metabolism. Calcium plays an important role in the transmission of nerve signals in the body and in muscle contraction.

Effervescent tablets with electrolytes

Our range includes electrolytes in various forms from leading brands such as Amacx, 6d Sports Nutrition, Neversecond, Santa Madre, 226ers and Precision Hydration, used by Pro Tour and Ironman race winners. All products do not contain any artificial sweeteners.

Effervescent tablets with electrolytes do not contain carbohydrates, but this content is minimal, namely less than 5 g per 500 ml of the prepared drink. They also contain no artificial colors, sweeteners or flavors that could have a negative impact on the digestive system. Electrolyte supplements are also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
