Electrolyte drinks are beverages that replace water and charged minerals (sodium, potassium, magnesium, etc.) lost through sweat or daily activity; choose low‑sugar, balanced‑mineral options and avoid high‑sugar, high‑artificial‑ingredient sports sodas. What are electrolyte drinks Electrolyte drinks supply minerals that carry electrical charges —mainly sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, calcium, and sometimes phosphate —which support hydration, nerve signaling, and muscle function. They were developed to speed rehydration after heavy sweating and are absorbed faster than plain water because they restore both fluid and ionic balance. Which to choose and which to avoid Choose: products with clear mineral labels (sodium and potassium listed), moderate carbohydrate (4–8% sugar for exercise), and added magnesium or calcium if you sweat heavily or have cramps.
