When should you use electrolytes?

This page is relevant to athletes, runners, HYROX athletes, strength athletes, people who work irregular shifts, travelers, and anyone who wants to take a more conscious approach to their hydration and performance.

Many people know what electrolytes are, but not when to use them. As a result, they use them too late, randomly, or not at all. Smart use starts with knowing in which situations you lose more fluids and minerals.

Electrolytes are especially relevant when you sweat, exercise intensely, or remain active for extended periods. They are not a substitute for water, sleep, or nutrition, but they can be a valuable addition to your daily routine.
