Hydration for Training: Why Electrolytes Matter

CLC Hydration Powder

When you train hard, you lose fluid and electrolytes through sweat. Water replaces the fluid; electrolytes help your body hold on to it.*

What are electrolytes?

Electrolytes are minerals like sodium and potassium that play a role in fluid balance and normal muscle function.* You lose them when you sweat, which is why long or hot sessions can leave you feeling flat.

When to use a hydration powder

  • Long sessions of an hour or more
  • Hot or humid conditions
  • Heavy sweaters
  • Two-a-day training or back-to-back sessions

How to use it

Mix one serving into your water bottle and sip it during training or through the day. Follow the directions on the label.
