Electrolytes
Electrolyte Supplements
Electrolytes are a sports supplement that support water management in the body, electrolyte balance and muscle activity. They are minerals, especially sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium and calcium, that are lost with sweat during sports or heat.
Electrolytes have a lower osmolality (concentration of substances) than human blood, meaning they are absorbed and hydrate us quickly. Faster absorption can also be supported by the sugars contained, such as dextrose.
When to Drink Electrolytes?
Electrolytes are suitable during longer sports activities, during activities in hot weather, and generally when sweating causes extensive loss of fluids. These include:
- endurance activities longer than 60–75 minutes,
- sports or physical activity in the heat,
- staying in the sauna.
How to Choose Electrolytes?
When choosing electrolytes, pay attention to the amount of sodium, sugar content and other substances:
| Parameter | Form | Dosage and dilution | Sodium amount per dose | Aaditional ingredients |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vilgain Electrolytes | powder 320 g | 8 g per 250–300 ml of water | 345 mg | dextrose |
| Vilgain Pure Electrolytes | powder 360 g | 3.6 g per 500 ml of water | 1,000 mg | without sugar, sweeteners and other substances |
| Vilgain Electrolyte Complex | 10 × 10 g sachets | 10 g per 300 ml of water | 168 mg | Vitamin C, B1, B2, B5, B12 |
| Vilgain Electrolyte Drink | ready‑made drink 500 ml | 100–500 ml depending on performance | 235 mg | coconut water 10%, B vitamins |
| Vilgain Electrolytes + EAA | powder 400 g | 20 g per 600 ml of water | 1,000 mg | essential amino acids |
| Vilgain Electrolytes + Creatine | powder 330 g | 11 g per 400 ml of water | 513 mg | 3 g creatine monohydrate |
Electrolytes are especially popular among athletes because they let them replenish the ions that retain water in the body more quickly and effectively, which is essential for consistent performance. Naturally, electrolytes can be replenished through fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, or coconut water.
