Electrolyte replacement during exercise is a necessary procedure that is also highly individual. This is because everyone's body is different, their sport is different, training duration and intensities are different, and weather conditions are different. With that in mind, it's no wonder there are so many schools of thought when it comes to electrolyte replacement. And even if the athlete has never cramped, it is still extremely important to provide the minerals necessary for proper cellular metabolism, cardiac function, and muscle contractions. All too often the endurance athlete finds out too late that these electrolytes have been depleted through bodily fluids and perspiration, the signs of which are muscle weakness, nausea, and cramping. We believe that while sports drinks may contain one or more electrolytes, it is important to replace specific ones primarily used during exercise in a form (capsules) that allows alteration of dosages based on body weight, BMI, length and intensity of training, and weather.
