Electrolyte & Hydration Calculator

Electrolyte Science Explained

Why Electrolytes Matter:
Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium) are essential minerals that conduct electricity in your body. They regulate fluid balance, nerve signals, muscle contractions, and hydration.

Key Roles:

• Sodium: Main electrolyte lost in sweat. Prevents cramps & fatigue.
• Potassium: Works with sodium for muscle & heart function.
• Magnesium: 300+ biochemical reactions. Reduces muscle soreness.
• Calcium: Muscle contraction & bone health.

Daily Needs (Approximate):
Sodium: 2000–4000 mg | Potassium: 3500–4700 mg | Magnesium: 300–420 mg | Calcium: 1000 mg
