Isotonic drinks

During physical activity and training, our body loses not only water and energy but also essential electrolytes. These electrolytes are needed for the body to control the entry and exit of bodily fluids in and out of our cells. Electrolytes maintain the acid-base balance, plasma volume, membrane potential, and participate in transport processes and nerve impulse transmission, making them one of the key components in our body.

Increased sweating during physical activity leads to the loss of sodium, magnesium, potassium, chloride, and other minerals. Therefore, it's essential to quickly and properly replenish the lost stores in our body and ensure rehydration. Isotonic drinks are often an integral part of hydration for many athletes, and the general rule is that they are recommended for sporting efforts lasting longer than 1 hour, as they can improve athletes' performance, reduce cramps, and ultimately prevent injuries.
