Hydration and Electrolyte Balance

Episode #37 of In Search of Insight is an in-depth conversation about hydration, electrolytes, and our new electrolyte powder, InfiniLyte. Emiel and Erika discuss why electrolytes are essential for athletes, when to take your electrolyte for the best hydration benefits, and which electrolytes are included in our unique formulation for Infinilyte. 

The podcast begins by covering the basics of hydration, including how much water and minerals we actually lose during exercise. We continue with discussing the specific minerals involved in transmitting electricity in the body, the electrolytes. Emiel breaks down each ingredient in the InfiniLyte formula, and what role this plays in our body’s cellular systems.
