The No-Junk Guide to Electrolytes: What Your Body Actually Needs

The No-Junk Guide to Electrolytes: What Your Body Actually Needs

Electrolytes are everywhere—sports drinks, supplements, IV drips—but most people still don’t know what they actually do, or what their body really needs.


Let’s break it down (no jargon, no BS) and show you how Lyte gives you everything you need—and nothing you don’t.

 

What are electrolytes, really?


Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge and help regulate critical functions in your body:

Muscle contractions

Nerve signaling

Fluid balance

Energy production

Post-exercise recovery


If you’re sweating, training, traveling, or just feeling drained—electrolytes help you bounce back.

 

The 4 essential electrolytes your body needs:


1. Sodium

Lost most in sweat. Without it, you risk dizziness, fatigue, and cramps.


2. Potassium

Balances hydration and supports muscle control and heart function.


3. Magnesium

Powers muscle recovery and reduces fatigue. Low magnesium = poor performance.


4. Calcium

Supports nerve signaling and muscle function—not just bones.

 

What your body doesn’t need:


✖️ Sugary sports drinks

✖️ Artificial colors

✖️ Unnecessary fillers and binders


Most drinks on the market load up on sugar and artificial ingredients that work against your body, not with it.

 

How Lyte keeps it clean


✔️ Scientifically dosed electrolytes

✔️ B vitamins for natural energy

✔️ No sugar, no dyes, no fillers

✔️ Vegan and keto-friendly


Lyte is hydration stripped back to what works—and nothing else.

 

The takeaway


You don’t need 30g of sugar or bright blue liquid to hydrate. You need smart, clean ingredients that actually support your body.


Lyte is hydration, upgraded.
