Sodium, magnesium, calcium and potassium -- these are electrolytes that are important for muscle contraction, hydration and blood pressure. Hence, there's an abundance of sports drinks that contain electrolytes. But did you know that electrolytes also play an important role in your overall health even if you're not an athlete?

Here’s what you need to know about how electrolytes help the body and why you should give Dr. Berg’s Electrolyte Powder a try.

How do electrolytes work?

Electrolytes are substances responsible for forming ions in our bodies. Electrolytes regulate nerve and body function, hydrate the body, balance blood acidity and pressure as well as help repair damaged tissue.

Common electrolytes found in our body are:

  • Bicarbonate
  • Sodium
  • Potassium
  • Chloride
  • Magnesium
  • Phosphate
  • Calcium

These electrolytes contain either a positive or negative electric charge, which our bodies use to perform various functions. For example, our muscles need calcium, potassium and sodium to contract, while chloride is used to help our bodies maintain a normal balance of fluids.

Electrolyte imbalance

When electrolytes in the body become too low, it causes an imbalance. We can easily lose a lot of electrolytes and water through sweat or hot temperatures. When this happens, we experience an electrolyte imbalance, which is characterized by fatigue, numbness, tingling, headaches, convulsions and cramps. But while maintaining a healthy diet is a good way to keep our electrolytes balanced, there are also other ways of replenishing them.

How to replenish electrolytes

Working faster than consuming regular water at replenishing our body and containing more electrolytes than traditional sports drinks, electrolyte powders are a much healthier option in helping our body recover essential vitamins and minerals.

Electrolyte imbalance can cause fatigue, muscle cramps and even high blood pressure. One of the most common reasons behind this is potassium deficiency. Arguably the most important electrolyte of all, potassium plays a huge role in the normal functioning of our cells, nerves and muscles.
