Yes — electrolytes help your body absorb and hold on to water, which is why they're so useful after sweating. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium and magnesium are the minerals you lose through sweat, and magnesium also contributes to normal muscle function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are essential minerals — mainly sodium, potassium and magnesium — that help your body manage fluid balance, muscle function and more.
When do women need electrolytes?
Reach for electrolytes after sweaty workouts, hot weather, long walks or busy days when plain water isn't quite cutting it.
Are electrolytes better than water?
They work together. Water hydrates, and electrolytes help your body use that water effectively — especially when you've been sweating.
How do you use electrolytes?
Mix one serving into 500ml of water before, during or after movement. Sugar-free and refreshing, they make hydration a habit.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drink electrolytes every day?
Yes, especially if you're active or it's warm. On low-activity days, plain water may be all you need.
Do electrolytes help with tiredness?
Good hydration supports how you feel, and the magnesium in electrolytes contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Are electrolytes good after a workout?
Yes — post-workout is one of the best times to replace what you've sweated out.
