97 : Electrolytes: Do You Actually Need Them?

The last couple of years, I've got into using them.

So I just did a little bit of research because I wanted to try and fine-tune my performance as best I possibly could.

Of

course, as an athlete, top-level athlete, every percentage counts now.

I'm so cautious about what I say to you because

you...

Don't hold back, KVC.

So, I'm trying to train a lot and I'm trying to train in quite a few of my sessions in the week at a high level and I sweat profusely.

I am not one of those people that goes into the gym and looks the same when I come out.

I look like I've been in the shower.

So, I'm very conscious that I'm losing weight I'm losing electrolytes through sweat.

So things like my sodium, I'm losing it through sweat.

I sweat a lot.

Is

that why sweat is salty?

Yeah, and I was thinking about fatigue and sometimes just feeling a little bit like it's taking us a bit longer to recover.

Yeah.

So I just thought I'll give Electrolyte a go and did a bit of research into what they were going to do for me.

I have got those notes if you would like us to

share.

Have you?

Yes, yeah.

Yeah, please.

So sodium regulates your fluid balance and is important for nerve function.

Potassium supports muscle contractions, heart function, fluid balance.
