Electrolytes are minerals that become charged particles in fluid — sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride, calcium. They are essential for muscle contraction, nerve function, fluid balance, and pH regulation.
Who needs them? Intense trainees — sweat loses significant electrolytes. Endurance athletes (cycling, running, triathlon). Hot climates. Those on a ketogenic diet — the first weeks bring sharp sodium loss.
Choosing the best electrolyte in Georgia depends on formula type (pure electrolyte vs isotonic drink with carbs) and individual needs. FitShop.ge stocks formulas from leading brands for different goals.
Hydration supplement choice depends on training intensity, duration, and ambient temperature. Here is a guide to the three main types.
Only minerals — sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride. No carbs. Optimal for: low-carb or ketogenic diets, everyday hydration, replacing electrolytes lost through sweat without adding calories. Dose: 1 serving per 500–700ml water.
Electrolytes plus 4–8% carb concentration. Optimal for: 60+ minute intense training, endurance sports. Carbs (maltodextrin, dextrose) replenish muscle glycogen. Popular Powerade, Gatorade style.
Daily electrolyte drinks are not needed — regular water is enough. Low-intensity training (home fitness, short walks) does not require electrolytes. Commercial sports drinks often contain high sugar — check the label.
