Water hydrates the human body but it does a pretty average job of it. Ordinary tap or bottled mineral water will quench your thirst but offer very little in the way of effective hydration which your body needs to perform. Your body needs salts called electrolytes and standard tap water, bottled mineral water, juices or colas contain hardly any. As a result many people suffer from dehydration to some degree without realising it. This can be especially so in athletes pushing their bodies to the max and the older and weaker person. To hydrate effectively the human body needs a liquid containing potassium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, and sulphate which help to keep us in optimum health and maintain performance. Elete provides the solution to fast, effective hydration and electrolyte replacement which promotes performance and ongoing good health.

Why Electrolytes Are Essential

Electrolytes are lost through sweat during intense exercise and/or high temperatures. When electrolytes are depleted from your body, you become tired, cramp easily, and are at risk from dehydration. When you become even mildly dehydrated your health can suffer too. Replacing electrolytes is essential to keep your body hydrated, to enhance performance, and to help prevent muscle cramps. Electrolytes also help the brain and nervous system transmit and receive important signals and allow the muscles to contract and relax. Some studies show that electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium also support heart function.
