Electrolytes keep your heart beating.
-
- Sodium: Regulates the total amount of water in your body and is critical for nerve and muscle function.
- Potassium: Works alongside sodium to maintain healthy blood pressure and allows your cells—including your heart—to function.
- Chloride: Helps maintain healthy blood volume, blood pressure, and fluid levels in your body.
- Calcium: Beyond strengthening bones and teeth, it controls nerve signals, muscle contractions, and blood clotting.
- Magnesium: Supports muscle relaxation, nerve function, and heart health while helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
- Phosphate (Phosphorus): Works closely with calcium to build strong bones and tissues, and supports energy production.
- Bicarbonate: Acts as a buffer to maintain the body’s acid-base (pH) balance and moves carbon dioxide through the bloodstream. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
