THE MOST IMPORTANT MINERALS

Chloride is one of the electrolytes important for the functioning of the body. It plays an important role in many physiological processes, such as maintaining acid-base balance, as it helps to maintain normal digestion by producing hydrochloric acid in the stomach [1].

Potassium, apart from helping to maintain normal blood pressure, significantly supports the proper functioning of the nervous system and muscles [2].

Sodium has been added to help replace lost electrolytes and restore the fluid balance in the body.

Calcium contributes to the proper maintenance of energy metabolism and helps in the functioning of muscles. In addition, it is essential to maintain healthy bones and teeth [3].

Magnesium is crucial for the proper functioning of muscles. It is also involved in energy metabolism, protein synthesis, blood pressure regulation and the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. It contributes to reducing a feeling of fatigue and tiredness [4].

WHO ARE ELECTROLYTES FOR?

Electrolytes are not only for athletes but also for people engaged in light physical activity, travelling, doing physical work or simply in need of an energy boost and hydration.
