Many people don't know how important electrolytes are, or how many unpleasant symptoms simply come from electrolytes being out of balance. Yes, if you workout and sweat a lot, you lose a lot of electrolytes, so this supplement helps. But you also lose lots of electrolytes if you're sick with a high fever, dehydrated, have a hangover from too much alcohol, or take certain medications. This supplement helps in all of those situations as well. It's not just for athletes, this is great for everyone, and has so many uses. I've been using it for years, and I highly recommend it often!
