Electrolyte drinks play a crucial role in sport, especially during intensive training sessions and competitions, where key nutrients and minerals are lost during sweating. The electrolytes sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride contained in sweat are essential for maintaining fluid balance and are crucial for athletic performance over long periods and/or in hot temperatures. As sodium regulates the fluid balance, it is particularly important to replenish fluid loss quickly during physical activity.

The interplay between electrolytes and carbohydrates

When we sweat, the body not only loses fluids, but also important minerals. Electrolytes help to regulate the water balance, support muscle function and prevent cramps. Sodium and chloride are particularly important as they regulate the body's fluid balance and support nerve function. Potassium, calcium and magnesium contribute to muscle contraction and relaxation. In addition to electrolytes, many sports drinks also contain carbohydrates, which serve as a quick source of energy. This combination helps to replenish the glycogen stores in the muscles and improves endurance. Isotonic drinks are particularly effective as they have a similar concentration of dissolved particles to the blood and can therefore be absorbed quickly by the body.

Zero-carbs electrolyte drink for athletes: ELECTROLYTES

Anyone looking for an electrolyte-containing sports drink that maintains the fluid balance during sport and contains no carbohydrates should choose ELECTROLYTES from SPONSER®. The effervescent tablets contain the important electrolytes sodium, magnesium, calcium, chloride and potassium, as well as zinc, which supports normal fatty acid metabolism. The tabs can be easily dissolved in water. Because ELECTROLYTES contain no carbohydrates, unlike conventional sports drinks, they are perfect during low-intensity endurance or to train fat metabolism efficiency. They are also suitable as part of a energy-restricted or low-carbohydrate diet.

FAQs on electrolyte drinks, sports drinks and electrolytes

Calorie-free ELECTROLYTES make a refreshing electrolyte drink to support the electrolyte balance. They are available in the fruity flavours Lemon, Red Orange, Fruit Mix, Cherry and Berry. They contain the electrolytes sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium and potassium as well as zinc.

One effervescent tab when dissolved in 750 ml water provides just 9 kcal. One portion of drink contains less than 0.1 grams of sugar per portion.

All flavours of ELECTROLYTES are vegan and contain no animal ingredients.

One effervescent tab makes around 500-750 ml of sports drink and provides 400 mg of sodium. Sodium is excreted in increased quantities, especially in warm temperatures or during longer training sessions, as the nutrient is essential for fluid balance and thermo-regulation, the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction.

High-intensity training usually requires an energy management with sufficient carbohydrates. We recommend our COMPETITION® or ISOTONIC sports drinks for this very purpose. COMPETITION® contains a broad mix of carbohydrates (waxy maize, rice, dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose, etc.) with different glycaemic indices in addition to essential electrolytes and minerals, making it ideal for endurance athletes. ISOTONIC is an isotonic thirst quencher with a broad carbohydrate spectrum and good digestibility to support performance and recovery.

A lack of electrolytes can inhibit fluid absorption and affect muscle function. This may lead to muscle cramps especially during heavy sweating and in hot temperatures. To avoid them, regularly consume electrolyte-containing sports drinks, SALT CAPS, salty soups or normal food containing salt (salted pretzels, bread, etc.; anything that is easily digestible under physical stress) right from the start and, in the event of a cramp, use our secret weapon MUSCLE RELAX.
