Electrolyte Drink 1 article

Electrolyte drinks are beverages designed to provide minerals such as sodium and potassium along with fluid, often for exercise, heat exposure or other situations involving greater fluid loss. The category includes ready-to-drink bottles, powders and single-serve sticks mixed with water. Some formulas contain sugar or carbohydrate, while others are sugar-free and differ substantially in mineral amounts. Unlike traditional sports drinks, an electrolyte beverage does not necessarily supply meaningful carbohydrate fuel; its defining feature is the added electrolyte composition.
