See frequently asked questions about electrolytes
Why take electrolytes?
Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) are essential minerals that maintain the body's fluid balance. They help prevent dehydration, muscle cramps, fatigue, and headaches caused by physical exertion or sweating.
When is it best to consume electrolytes?
They are particularly effective before, during, or after intense training, in hot weather, or daily as part of a ketogenic (keto) diet or fasting to compensate for mineral loss.
What is the difference between electrolyte powders and classic sports drinks?
Most electrolytes selected by Afentix favor pure formulas, highly concentrated in minerals and without added sugars, unlike industrial sports drinks which often contain empty calories and artificial additives.
