Physical effort, especially intensive exercise, inevitably involves the loss of water in the body. Along with sweat, your body loses not only water, but also minerals and electrolytes necessary for proper functioning. When doing sports, you should remember about proper hydration, which will help you achieve optimal results during training and proper regeneration after its completion. If you are wondering what is the easiest and fastest way to replenish deficiencies resulting from physical exercise, you will find the answer below!

Isotonic drink – what exactly is it?

Isotonic drinks or their concentrates are nothing more than appropriately selected sets of electrolytes (most often potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium), carbohydrates and vitamins that increase water absorption and help maintain a high pace of activity during long-term training. Isotonics available on the market differ not only in composition, but also in the form of the product. Depending on your needs, you can choose an isotonic drink, ready to drink at any time, or a concentrate in the form of a powder that you dissolve in the appropriate amount of water.

When to use isotonic drinks?

Always! You can take isotonic products both before, during and after training. It is important to do it wisely. If you want to use isotonic before physical exercise, it is best to do it an hour before starting the exercise and do not overdo it with the amount (500 ml is definitely enough). If you want to support yourself with isotonic drinks during training, remember not to exceed the dose of 1000 ml for each hour of exercise. Using isotonic drinks to replenish mineral and water deficiencies after activity is best done within two hours of its completion.
