Calcium

Calcium: The overlooked hero in your workout

When we talk about electrolytes and sports drinks, sodium and potassium are often mentioned first. But calcium deserves at least as much attention – especially if you want to optimally support your body during physical activity. At LYTE , we know that even small deficiencies can have big consequences for your performance. That's why calcium is a natural part of our carefully balanced electrolyte profile.

What is calcium and why does your body need it?

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and plays a key role in several vital functions – not just for your bones, but also for your muscles and nerves. During exercise, it is especially important for three reasons:

1. Muscle contraction

Calcium is directly involved in the ability of muscles to contract. Without enough calcium, this process does not function optimally, which can lead to muscle weakness, fatigue, and decreased performance.

2. Nerve function

Calcium helps transmit signals between the brain and muscles. These signals are necessary for quick reflexes and coordinated movements – both crucial in sports and intensive training.

3. Preventing cramps

Together with magnesium and potassium, calcium helps stabilize muscle activity. If you often experience muscle cramps, it may be due to an imbalance in electrolytes – including calcium.

Why does LYTE include calcium in our electrolyte drink?

At LYTE, we are dedicated to supporting your performance – all the way around. That's why our sports drink not only contains the classic electrolytes, but also calcium in the right amount, so you:

• If you sweat a lot – for example in hot climates or indoor sports

• If you eat plant-based and get less calcium through your diet

• When you want to optimize your recovery and prevent muscle tension
