What are electrolytes?
Ask Shelley.com - Vital Health Management CenterElectrolytes are the blood minerals that make up the pH balance of the blood and the electrical potential of the body. Without electrolytes, the body is like a car without a battery - it just cannot get started. Electrolytes for the most part are NOT stored, apart from salt and calcium, and you don't want to use your stores of bone for blood calcium as that can lead to osteoperosis and kidney stones. So electrolytes MUST come from the diet.
What are electrolytes and are there enough added to be of benefit?
Welcome to Essentia WaterElectrolytes are salts in the body that conduct electricity and are found in the body, fluid, tissue and blood. Examples are calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. Sodium is concentrated in the extracellular fluid between tissue cells and potassium is concentrated in the intracellular fluid within the blood vessels. Proper balance is essential for muscle coordination, heart function, fluid absorption and excretion, nerve function and concentration.
