I was working 12+ hour shifts at our local paper mill, in the "paper machine" department where the temperature gets so insanely hot that you're not allowed to be in certain areas for more than a few minutes, pallets of bottled water are casually placed all around the facility. They drop off truckloads of pallets of bottled water twice a week. I would drink multiple gallons of water per day but at night time laying down in bed I'd get the most intense and painful muscle cramps in my legs. I tried every single electrolyte product I could find, the ONLY product that worked and that I continued to use while working in the concrete feild, and still use today is Liquid IV. The shit is amazing 💯

I’ve tried everything on the market to compensate for wearing a 1pc leather race suit in 100 degree weather for hours sweating my ass off on track. Liquid IV is only product I could FEEL working. It’s incredible how awesome it is. Pretty cool to hear it used in a different environment 🤙🏻

I can personally vouch for Liquid IV, I'm a construction worker in pheonix Arizona, this summer we had an ambient air temperature of 128.8F° (which I believe is 51C°). Anything over 115F°, you're sweating bullets as soon as you go outside. The buildings I work in are usually insulated, but with no Air Con, so they add upwards of 40° to how hot it is. For 9 hours a day, I was dripping sweat doing physically demanding shit in 150F°+ for weeks.

[@BoomBoomBlitzcrank]

I learned a lot actually. Basically it seems like “sports drinks” in general for the average non professional athlete aren’t necessary. You get more than enough from a decent diet. Add salt to your food, eat a balanced diet and drink water. This is gonna save me a lot of money, because I was buying a lot of electrolyte drinks after intense exercises, but I’m far from a pro athlete. Thanks a lot Derek for real

[@BrokeMalone]

it depends on ur body… i always frel dehydrated so even when not sweating i need more electrolytes the average person. u can literally buy electrolye drops to jus add to ur water so u dont get any artificial sweeteners or sugar.. sodium chloride (salt) isnt the only electrolyte, u also need potassium chloride and magnesium…

[@basedlord88]

If you look at the actual electrolytes in Gatorade, it’s sodium and everything else is negligible, it’s a scam

[@Disinfo321]

You can actually make your own isotonic drink for almost nothing. Get some orange cordial and a tiny bit of salt and mix it with water.

[@voidburger2989]

Minerals such as sodium are carried through water and are lost through liquid excretion such as sweat. I think there are a lot of benefits to drinking sports drinks with adequate electrolytes during high intensity exercises for sure. If not replenished properly you'll experience major fatigue and tiredness

[@King_Kenlee]

@Soflo Sports No its not especially if u eat mostly whole foods which everyone should

Sugar, or more specifically glucose, is important for keeping sodium in your body thanks to the sodium-glucose cotraneporters in your proximal tubule of your nephrons (kidneys).

I also sweat more sodium than most people. I have started experimenting with formulating my own formula of carb + sodium drinks specific to my body. i can ride longer and almost doubled my distance and speed. i no longer cramp. --On days I don't workout i hit my macros and vitamin goals . on medium to high intensity days I can hit 4300mg sodium and have my best Blood pressure reading the next day----i recover better and my blood work is going in the right direction.
